View 3 RepliesI have a dictionary in the NOD with several xrecords. I want to change an entry value in one but the others in the dictionary also get changed. How would they be connected?
This is some simplified code that looks at two xrecords, changes one, then reports the new values. Weird thing is that both xrecords get changed.
For i = 1 To 2 XRecId = MyAppDict.GetAt(i) XRec = trans.GetObject(XRecId, OpenMode.ForRead) ed.WriteMessage(vbLf + "XRecord: " & i & " First Entry: " & XRec.Data(0).value) Next XRecId = MyAppDict.GetAt(2) XRec = trans.GetObject(XRecId, OpenMode.ForWrite) Dim data As ResultBuffer = New ResultBuffer(New TypedValue(DxfCode.Int16, 2), New TypedValue(DxfCode.Text, XRec.Data(1).value)) XRec.Data = data For i = 1 To 2 XRecId = MyAppDict.GetAt(i) XRec = trans.GetObject(XRecId, OpenMode.ForRead) ed.WriteMessage(vbLf + "XRecord: " & i & " First Entry: " & XRec.Data(0).value) Next
I want to write an overrule to automatically suppress xrecords in extension dictionary while coping but then I test my module, the xreocrd is supressed in the original piece , not the newest one !!

How do I get the xrecord attached to an entity in a drawing, without key?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have polyline that graphically represents a pipe. Obviously, the polyline can not contain data for a pipe: size, material, insulationtype, insulationthickness, schedule, etc. So, I have created a custom object with all of the appropriate properties, methods, events, etc that I need for it to behave as a pipe. My custom object has a reference to the actual polyline with a Handle property stored as a long(since AutoCAD objects can not be serialized). I referenced an AU 2008 class by Jeffery Geer (A Pattern for Storing Structured Data in AutoCAD Entities CP401-2) to get me as far as I am.
My object is marked serializable. I serialize it to binary and attach the binary in 127 byte chunks to the xRecord of the polyline object.However, as soon as I attach this binary xrecord, I get the following message when I try to save the drawing:
"One or more objects in this drawing cannot be saved to the specified format. The operation was not completed and no file was created”
Question, Is it possible to update values stored in an xrecord. If not what is the best aproche my goal?

I have managed to loop through the file directories and sub-directories and even extracted the ResultBuffer of the correct sub-directory.
I now have a ResultBuffer/XRecord that has an array of typed values in it and I need to modify one of the typed values. How do I do it?
I'm learning how to create extension (flex - extension builder) for Illustrator and how to make it communicate with a plugin.
The samples provided in the SDK detailed how to load /unload extension from a menu item from Illustrator, and how to add / remove EventListeners to make the magic happen.
to sum up, this is something like that:
1- click on the menu item
2- load extension
3- add listeners
4- do your stuff......
5- remove listeners
6- unload extension
Basically my plugin is a module/service which is in charge of dealing with / modifying artwork tree. It has no User Interface.
My extension will have a user of this service.
What I would like to do is to load my extension as soon as my plugin is loaded, and unload the extension when the plugin will be unloaded.
Or notify when extension is loaded or unloaded.
Is that possible and hw could I achieve that?
Words will not add to the dictionary? Is this something Autodesk have broken?
English UK dictionary.
After installing AutoCAD on 3 new Windows 7 workstations, one of them can't find the main dictionary. I can find dictionaries (*.dct) by using the Windows Search function, but when I try to specify a path with the Options command, I'm told that there are "None available". What do I need to do to get a dictionary path loaded?

The file was originally created with Autocad 2010 in 2011. i would post the file but it is a customer print and i cannot disclose it here. we are now running up-to-date autocad 2013. this is not a problem with other files i have had to work with (older and newer). just seemds to be a localized event and am wondering if it is that something is corrupt.
when running spell check the tab for adding a word to the dictionary is not available.

I know that I can dump the custom dictionary into global and the fields can track those values, but instead of strangling my available memory I'd rather track the dictionary key directly. How can I utilize the Entity name or the actual dictionary name & key?
AIUIDRef uidref=GetUID(GetArt(range));
sAIDocument->GetDictionary(&dictRef);
if(dictRef) {
AIEntryRef entryref=sAIEntry->FromUID(uidref);
AIDictKey dictkey = sAIDictionary->Key("mykey");
sAIDictionary->Set(dictRef, dictkey, entryref);
}
This is the code I am using to save the uid in dictionary. The code executes. Not sure if it saves uid or not. But illustrator crashes when document is closed.
I am trying to take our Traction Power DWG and export it to a DGN which is no problem. The problem i am having arises when i go to attach it to the Track Alignment DGN or the OCS DGN. It says that my drawing is in international feet while the others are in US Survey feet. How can i fix my drawing so that it is in US Survey feet, when i turn it into a DGN.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating one custom plug - in for my project. and for this i want to create one dictionary.In this dictionary i want to store my object and one custom property related to this selected object( exp path item, raster item. etc).
i want to know after closing AI CS6 how can i access the same value what i stored in dictionary.actually i want to create one property for the selected item and want to save and retrieve back. this property.
when trying to set an entry value in an art object's dictionary with AICS6 SDK. I have a native winow handler set on a toolbar where I have set a few buttons.
When I click on the "Outline" button, it is supposed to set an entry (named "FB_CurveType") in the dictionary of the selected art object.
newKey = pAIDictionary->Key("FB_CurveType");
pAIArt->GetDictionary(hArt, &dataDict);
pAIDictionary->SetIntegerEntry(dataDict, newKey, type);
[Code]....
The returned art handle is valid (not NULL) and I can successfully set the value, and re read it immediatly after setting it (even when disposing/re-getting a reference to the dictionary).
The problem comes when I click on "Get Data", it is supposed to loop through each art handle in the document, and check if it has an entry called "FB_CurveType" in its dictionary. Unfortunately, the returned Art Handle's dictionary is empty, and no error code is returned by the SDK functions.I have also noticed that the art handle's value is not the same as the one in the selection code above, at first I thought "Well, maybe that's because Illustrator returns some dynamicaly allocated pointer or something", but when I'm clicking on "Outline" again, the art handle's value is the same as the one in the previous call.
My guess is that my function to get all the art objects in the document makes an older or a pale copy of the real art object. Here is the function :
void GetArtsByType(AIArtType artType, AIArtSet set)
{
AIArtSpec specs[1];
[Code]....
I am sure this is a setvar that has somehow gotten switched on, but when I copy entities to a point on a line or object, it seems to bind or attach itself to that line/object. So when I try & move or stretch the entity, the line or object that I used as a ref point also moves.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know DXF files can be saved as DWGs then used as XREFs but that isn't the goal we want to achieve.
We are a big steel fabrication shop and we run a plasma machine that accepts DXF files. What we want to do is be able to draw our parts as a DXF ready for the plasma then XREF them into an overall drawing to assure all of our pieces line up. Each piece will be a separate DXF.
We want them to be XREFs so that if one needs to be manipulated it can be done on the spot without having to reattach a block. The more files you have to open and manipulate the more room for error.
The only way I can come up with is to draw all pieces as individual DWG files, then XREF each one into their own DXF file as well as XREFing them all into an overall file to check that they all line up.
working in Cad 2012, and used to 'bind' images to the file, but can't find that function. Doing standard details and need to include the images in the file for access on a global drive, so it has to be a self-contained file.

I have been sent some drawings with came in 2 zip files. 1 zip contains the floorplans. the other contains the sheets.
if i load the sheet, it will tell me the drawing is missing in a pop up box with a status of "not found". i f i try to attach it nothing happens.
I have a main drawing that I want to pull into another drawing as an XRef. When I try and attach the drawing as an attachment I get then message *Invalid* in the command line.
I have taken the drawings off the network and put them directly on my computer to make sure that it is not a network issue, but I still cannot attach the drawing.
