View 5 Repliesif I open a drawing with DocumentManager.Open("drawing.dwg", false) and it is already open (or the user has no rights to write to it), the drawing is opened in READONLY mode without warning.
Is there way to check if DocumentManager.Open("drawing.dwg", false) will open the drawing normal or READONLY?
How do I get my Sheet Set Manager to open up each time I open a CAD drawing? I turned it off and can't remember how to turn it back on. I use command SSautoopen, set to 1 but doesn't alway work. Sometimes if I close AutoCad and reopen it I can got to drop down menu and click on .dst extension and it will open but if I close out of it it won't open again unless I restart AutoCAD. I thought I used a command from the Express Tool menu but can't find it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded multi-batch as someone here said they like it for batch plotting. Once installed, however, it has changed a setting in AutoCAD. I can no longer open more than one drawing at a time. If I have a drawing open and try to open another drawing it asks me if I want to save the current open drawing.
I can not close a drawing either without exiting AutoCAD or trying to open another drawing. I un-installed multi-batch but it did not fix the problem.
Once I have the dwg open how do I get to the database?
Dim AcadApp As Object = Nothing Dim AcadDoc As Object = Nothing Try AcadApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application.18") Catch ex As Exception AcadApp = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application.18") End Try AcadApp.Visible = False Try AcadDoc = AcadApp.Documents.Open("C:UsersPAULDesktopB-03-J-H135.dwg", True) Catch ex As Exception Exit Sub End Try Dim MyDb As Database = AcadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database
how to test to see if a drawing is already open inAutoCAD using VBA and if it to make it the active document?I have a VBA macro to open xrefs by by just picking them in the drawing butI need to test to see if the drawing may already be open to avoid openingthe drawing a second time in "Read Only" mode.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn one of my application I want to open a drawing and make a new one.That doesnt work. So I copy following code from the
[CommandMethod("NewDrawing", CommandFlags.Session)]
public static void NewDrawing()
{
string strTemplatePath = "acadiso.dwt";
DocumentCollection acDocMgr = Application.DocumentManager;
acDocMgr.DocumentActivationEnabled = true;
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Document acDoc = DocumentCollectionExtension.Add(acDocMgr, strTemplatePath);
// Alternatively: Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Document acDoc = Application.DocumentManager.Add(strTemplatePath);
acDocMgr.MdiActiveDocument = acDoc;
}
At the end the MdiActiveDocument is still the drawing which where open before a new document is created.
BTW: I'm using 2013 and 2014. This method works fine in 2010.
Whats the different between 2013/ 2014 and 2010.
I have working code for opening a cad drawing from an external program. That is perfect.
how can I force a drawing that is NOT readonly to open as readonly from outside cad.
using dwgDB.saveas on a drawing database that the user has open but NOT current on his screen?
For example, the user has DWG1 open and DWG2 open and currently active, my program modifies DWG1 (inactive) and when the program tries to run...
dwg1DB.SaveAs(filename, true, DwgVersion.Current, dwg1DB.SecurityParameters)
it errors with an elock violation, even though I lock the document with dwg1DOC.LockDocument before I try to save and unlock it after.
The same code runs fine on the current document so at this time I just ended making the other document current just to save it then switch back to previously current document.
What am I missing to save a document that is open but not current?
After a recent crash civil 3d now asks me to type in the full path and file name for a file i want to open after selecting the open option on the menu or toolbar.i know there is a variable that requires re setting but i don't know how.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm in AutoCAD 2013. I've been working on a drawing everyday (was just working on it yesterday), but can't open it now. I just get a blank gray screen when I open if from within AutoCAD. When I open it from my computer drive while AutoCAD is closed, AutoCAD opens and I get "Drawing1.dwg." I've tried the RECOVER command, but I don't get a response. I tried RECOVERALL command which let me choose a file to recover, but it responded saying it could not recover the drawing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHere is what's happening:
When I open more than one drawing the second drawing that I open does not show (but is opened) I see the first drawing that was already open. If I open a third drawing, the same thing happens the first drawing shows ( but the second and third are both open).
Is this something to do with changing the Quick View Drawings Order?
I am trying to open a drawing file programmatically(automatically).
So for example.
If I have a file name "test.dwg" and run some custom command like 'openfile", AutoCAD opens "test.dwg" without any prompt.
The following code DOESN'T do the job I want.
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute("OPEN", true, false, true)
The problem is I have to hit enter after the above code is run.
Why is it that when we copy and paste a drawing from LT Autocad 2012 to powerpoint 2003, other versions of Autocad users are unable to open up when they double-click on the drawing?

View 5 Replies View RelatedEverytime I try to open my saved drawing, it just opens autocad 2012 with drawing1. I've been working on this drawing for weeks, and have saved and opened it many times without problem, and was working on it this morning and saved it again. Now, i've come back and it will no longer open. I can open other saved dwg files no problem. I've tried renaming the .bak file as a .dwg but that still won't work.

I have been trying readdwgfile, Add, and Open. Open works but I have a lot of files run through, which seems like it would take about 3 days to open and extract each drawing. maybe if i can run a piece of code outside of AutoCAD 3D map it would be fast but i need to read the ODRecords in each drawing.
Is there a program available to convert newer Autocad files to older versions? I have a 2012 file that I want to read in 2008.
