I need to create a new layer named "Test" and change the already text layer to "Test" and off the layer "Test". I need to check whether that "Test" layer is existing or not. If not the layer should not be created.
View 7 RepliesDB text has a property called rotation but the rotation is the rotation from WCS x axis ( vector3d. Xaxis)
how can i get the rotation from the ucs x axis?
Dim Xaxis_UCS As Vector3d = Curent_UCS.CoordinateSystem3d.Xaxis
Dim x_ucs_wcs As Double = Xaxis_UCS.AngleOnPlane(New Plane(Point3d.Origin, Vector3d.ZAxis))
then i substract from rotation the ucs-wcs angle but it is not good.
I'm having problems creating the element in DBTEXT BackgroundWorker in VB! Develop a function to create the element dbtext in the current document, when I use this function within <Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.CommandMethod("")> it works perfectly, but when it is used within BackgroundWorker raises the point of different alignment indicated. And the problem is solved when you run the AUDIT command in the project, then the alignment points are corrected. The same problem is occurring for the blocks that have attributes, in this case the alignment points are also displaced the attributes of the standard indicated.
Public Function NewDBText(ByVal InsertPoint As Point3d, ByVal Rotation As Double, ByVal LayerName As String, ByVal ForceColor As String, ByVal AttacPoint As AttachmentPoint, ByVal TextValue As String, ByVal Height As Double) As ObjectId Try Dim DBTextBase As New DBText DBTextBase.Rotation = Rotation DBTextBase.Layer = LayerName
[code]....
I have not come to a solution for creating DBTEXT elements within a BackgroundWorker, this element has problem with the alignment point. So there is an example ZIP, just run the command and check the elements created, you will see that I'm creating the element with the point in alinahmento MIDLECENTER but the result is not correct.
I am creating other elements in the same way and they had no problems (MTEXT, POLYLINE, CIRCLE, SPLINE, LINE, etc. ..), they are correct, but the element and the element DBTEXT block that contains attributes present problems in the alignment points.
Please see the attachment. My goal is create a DBText object just like the the left one, but this one is copied from another drawing, My own DBtext is the right one which was created by C# code.
Everyone should be able to find subtle differences, yes, The AlignmentPoint property of the left DBText is placed in the middle, and the base point is placed in the lower left corner In contrast, the basis points and the AlignmentPoint of the right DBText are coincident.
How to control AlignmentPoint Property of a DBText Object? I just want to creat a Dbtext just like the left one.
I have tried to directly modify AlignmentPoint property, use the the follow
objText.AlignmentPoint = new Point3d(0.83333333333, 1.25, 0);
But AutoCAD will be throw a Exception that message is eNotApplicable, and the AlignmentPoint won't change as my want.
I was writing code for my custom .net extension dll and one of the procedure involved therein was to replace the Text of MTEXT and DBTEXT entities with some predetermined Text String. I am using C#, AutoCAD 2012, and Visual Studio 2010. Here is the part of code wherein I am trying to replace the Text String of the MTEXT or DBTEXT entities.
foreach (SelectedObject selectedObject in selectionSet) { Entity currentEntity = transaction.GetObject(selectedObject.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite, false) as Entity; if (currentEntity == null) { continue; } if (currentEntity.GetType() == typeof(MText)) { ((MText)currentEntity).Contents = textToCopy; } else { ((DBText)currentEntity).TextString = textToCopy; } } transaction.Commit();
The issue is that the text of the MTEXT or DBTEXT is not getting replaced with the string I am trying to. I debugged the code and it correctly hits the setting of MText.Contents == "Some String" and also transaction.commit(). But the text of the MTEXT still remains to the old value. Is this the correct way of changing the text of MTEXT / DBTEXT through the .Net API.
I need a lisp can change all elements in block to layer 0 except layer defpoint but still keep linetype, color as it is.
View 1 Replies View Relatedlisp..It work fine but just that i need some minor modificatio to it...At moment, when i activate the lisp, it will automatic select all dimension,leader and multileader to a layer call "DIMENSION"...Anyway i wonder if it is possible to prevent any dimension,leader or multileader in layer "Section" will not be change to layer "Dimension"?

If possible also;
save the document close the document open next in directory run layer changer program again.
I want to know if I have understand this correctly or not: layer previous undos the last change in layer related command. Then If my last action is on layer, unod command will do the same. layer previous advantage is when you want to perform an undo which is not your last action.

layer manager not keeping your color selection the first time when you attempt to change the color of a layer? I have not repeated the experience enough to know the particular situation under which this happens but the result is the same. I open layer manager, click the color swatch to bring up the color selector and select a color, select ok and ok. When I look at the layers color it did not change. It seems to happen most on newly created layers.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a VBA program that I have been using for years that I am unable to convert to vb.net. When I start a text/dim command, the routine changes my layer to my Dimension layer, like wise when I create a viewport.
I like what I see with A2k12 but all this vb.net stuff has me quite frustrated. So many programs to convert so little time.
Sometimes when I am trying to edit a layer's properties the changes won't take. For instance, if I want to change the color I will open up the color dialog box and select the new color. When I close it it hasn't changed. It takes a few times of doing this and even sometimes closing and reopening the layer properties window again. I am using AutoCAD 2006.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to change my ground conductor from solid green to a dashed line (green is OK) on a set of drawings, but all the dashed linetypes I can find don't show up well at the scale that I've drawn the circuits. I can make them look OK by changing the linetype scale in the properties manager window, but there are a boatload of these lines in eight viewports; finding them all would be a major pain. They are all on a single layer, though, but in the layer properties manager I do not see a way to change the linetype scale for the layer. I could use the properties manager to make the change if I could select everything on the layer. Is there a way to do that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have noticed something strange in autocad 2012. when i create a new layer and then pick a color for that layer it will work fine, then when im working in the drawing and i pick a line and go to the pull down to put that line on the new layer, it will not be the color i chose. then when i look in layers to see whats going on, it will be the wrong color, i can change the color back to what i want, but the line will not respond. I actually have to, In the layers, pick a different color, then pick the color i want again and then it will work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedEverytime I change the color of a layer in the layer manager, It takes several trys before it will take, Quite Frustrating!
Color are set to "by layer" so that is not the issue.
I have a dwg that is converted from vectorworks with 100+ blocks of different names. All line-weight and color is set to 0.00mm and white.
I want to be able to organize multiple Block into same layer so I can color them by layer and change visibility (hide/Lock) by layer. but when I select everything to organizes "by layer" only non-block line can be organized.
Is there a way I can change multiple block into same layer without exploding them?
I try:
1. select block and change layer in properties.
Failed.
2. "set to by layer"
Problem: layer of block is still not changed when open with reference edit.
I have an architects plan consisting of many different layers, I have exploded all the plan so that there are no blocks.
I have now created a layer called building. I have selected everything and and placed it on this layer. The layer colour is colour 8.
I now want everything to be by layer so that it is all colour 8. However when I select all (151038 items) and change it all to by layer nothing changes. All colours stay as they are.
But if I was to go and select a small area at a time it allows me to change them to by layer and the colours change to colour 8 as desired.
How to select all and select by layer and have all the colours change in one go rather than me going around the drawing selected sections at a time to make the colours change.
At one point I had a layer command that I could select a line, type in the layer I wanted (with no extra prompts required) and it would change. The best part is if the layer didn't exist it would automatically create it (without prompting me Y/N).
Using LAYMCH in the command line is very close. However I have to press N for name, then enter the layer. If it is a new layer, it prompts me Y/N.
For whatever reason cad won't let change layer colors once there are lines on it. You change the color and when you close the layer dialog box and layer color doesn't change......
I have Acad2012 LT
I'm looking to find a way to change layer properties by viewport. I know how to freeze/thaw layer by viewport but not changing their properties. I'm using VB .Net.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Auto Cad 2010 Lt, i cant used keyboard fore select or to delete selected object by pressing delete buttion on keyboard, also i cant change the layer or any property from the panel , for that i have to open a property window and change it
for that i have dock a property tool on my right side of the windows
How to change the setting so i can work faster.
for no apparent reason I am suddenly unable to change the layer that a object is assigned to. Normally I select a line, then go to the layers pull down menu and click on the desired new layer. Automatically the line changes color to the selected layer.
When I follow this procedure now, the layer name changes in the pull down menu as if the change has been made, but the line remains the old color. Checking in Properties for this line, it shows that it has been changed to the new layer as well, however, when I reselect the line, the Properties changes back to show that it is still assigned to the old layer (color: By Layer is selected).
