AutoCAD .NET :: Changing Dimension Style Property To Same Value Crashes Program
Sep 30, 2013
In my code, I create a copy of dimension style:
s3 = New DimStyleTableRecords3.CopyFrom(vz)s3.Name = nazovtst.Add(s3)_trans.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(s3, True)
_trans.Commit()
Then, in another part of the code, I open the new style and change a property:
Using trans As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction ds = trans.GetObject(ds.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite) ds.Dimtxsty = s2TextStyle.ObjectId trans.Commit() End Using
this works OK for the first time, but when I run the code again, I don't create the new style, I just take the existing one and changing the Dimtxtsty property to the value it already has causes AutoCAD crash

I am working with a template, that doesn't allow me to change the dimension style. In the project the Use Style Library is set to Read/Write. I have created my dimension style, at this point just a copy of the ANSI standard with a text size difference. I went to my template and set that syle as my default, and saved it. Now the fact that it doesn't automatically update the drawing I had alreadycreated is a nuisance, however if I creat a new drawing, the style has reverted to a different standard, that is not even the ANSI default. If I right click a dimension and change the dimstyle to what I saved it does update, but if I try to change the style again it defaults to a random dimstyle, AND changes the style even if I hit cancel. So... the question is how to make the changes stick?

I have approximately 800 library files that I would like to change the Dimension Style on. Is there a way or some program out there that would allow me to change the Dimension Style on all 800 drawings at once or do I need to open each one up change and save?

I just got a new job with AutoCAD 2011. In the previous version (was using 2008 beore), I could select all lines, dimensions hatches, and then change the dimension style. But with this new version, as soon as I select anything that is not a dimension, like a hatch pattern or a regular line, I can't change the dimension style anymore. Is there anyway to change this back to how it was?

I'm working on a drawing that was converted into cad and it seems like every dimension has its own style. When I copy use the move comand or try to change the dimension the text changes from being above the dimension line to centered and the text gets closer together horizontally. When I compare a copied dimension to the original it has all the same properties including the text pos vert still being above text. The actual dimension style hasn't changed at all but what is showing up on screen is different.
Here a image showing three dimensions with the same properties, the top 2'-10" is what it should look like, the bottom is what it looks like when I copied it and the 1'-2" is when I make a new dimension.

Associative property of the dimension,I’m wondering if there is a way to “reassociate” the dimension without moving it.
For example, in the attached screenshots, the dimension is moved downward and then it aimed to re associate it with the object it measures. After the association the dimension is moved toward the object. What I wanted is to re associate the dimension to the object BUT to keep it at its current location.

I am looking for a way to change the text style used by a table style with Visual LISP. So far I have been able to get the IAcadTableStyle object from the acad_tablestyle dictionary, but there is no property for text style. Is this even possible? Code and results are below.
(defun DumpTableStyles ()
(setq dict (vla-get-dictionaries (vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object))))
(setq TableStyles (vla-item dict "acad_tablestyle"))
(vlax-for TableStyle TableStyles
(vlax-dump-object TableStyle)
)
)

I have been successfully able (after reading through the Users Manual) to create a new door style and a new property set definition applied to that door style. I was able to insert the new door style in a drawing and the Extended Data tab on the Properties pallet on the right side of the screen showed all the propwer data, except for one field.
I used two parameters from the Project Properies Definitions in my "custom" property set but only one of them (Number) seems to be working as expected to contain my Project ID Number within my door style. The Division ID parameter, however, does not contain anything within my door style except "NA", even though I placed a value in the Division ID field in the Project Navigator Tool Pallet.
"NA" is what shows up in the field on the Extended Data portion of the Properties pallet for the selected door instance.
As an aside, I found writting this post to be very time consuming because I had to keep refering back to the various ACA screens and pallets to be sure of using the correct names for everything to avoid confusion. Hopefully I have succeeded!

I'm inserting automatically many references to a couple of dynamic blocks in an AutoCAD drawing using VB.NET. If the number of inserted references is not very big, it works fine but, if I´m inserting hundreds of them, I noticed the app is slowing down a lot.
After taking some measures of the time the app uses in its execution, I noticed changing the value of the block reference property is slower as the number of inserted block increases: it takes 10 or 20 miliseconds at the begining but it can take more than 1 second after inserting one thousand of block references (to the same block).This is the function I use to change the property values:
Protected Sub CambiarPropiedades(ByRef ed As Editor, _ ByRef br As BlockReference, _ByVal nombrePropiedad As String, _ ByVal valor As Double) Dim pc As DynamicBlockReferencePropertyCollection = br.DynamicBlockReferencePropertyCollection If br IsNot Nothing And br.IsDynamicBlock Then For Each prop As DynamicBlockReferenceProperty In pc If prop.PropertyName = nombrePropiedad Then prop.Value = valor '
This line takes a long time the first time I call this function for the ' same block reference but it is faster in the next calls . It also changes the block reference name (br.name) in the first call
Exit For End If Next End If End Sub.
Which I call to change all the properties I need to change in an inserted block reference:
CambiarPropiedades(ed, br, "h_testua", objElementoLaboratorio.POS_TEXTO) CambiarPropiedades(ed, br, "d_texto_hor", posxTexto) CambiarPropiedades(ed, br, "largo", objElementoLaboratorio.LARGO) CambiarPropiedades(ed, br, "fondo", objElementoLaboratorio.FONDO)
A weird thing I noticed is that when I call this function to change the first property of an inserted block, it also changes the .Name of the block reference.
Even if I change the order in the property modification, it takes always a lot in the first call, it does not depend on the property I´m changing.

I'm in Autocad if I use the "open" command and go to a file directory there are several subfolders that we have to save drawings in before we make changes to them. If I copy and paste from one folder to the next while in the open dialog box it copy the file fine but the next time I try to open any drawing file the program goes unresponsive and crashes.

I have a program where I am inserting blocks at specific points in model space. I have successfully been able to create a subroutine that will accept a block name, a point3D Location and a layer name and and insert the specified block at the specified location on the specified layer. What I need to do now is to cycle through model space and find all of the pipe objects in model space. I then find the endpoint of each pipe and insert a block at that location. The problem that I am having is that the program crashes when I try to find the objectid of modelspace. I am using the technique discussed in this thread by Jeffrey_H.
VB.NET Access to Styles
Below is the code that I am trying to get to work.
'Test Command to insert the some blocks into the drawing <CommandMethod("TrimbleTestBlocks")> _ Public Sub TrimbleTestBlocks() 'Get the editor object Dim doc = AcApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim db =
[Code]....
This is the line that crashes on me
'Get Model Space Block Table Record Dim mdlspace As BlockTableRecord = SymbolUtilityServices.GetBlockModelSpaceId(db).GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead)
why this is crashing the program? I just started programming dotnet this weekend and my head is starting to explode.
My end goal is to cycle through every pipe in model space. If the pipe belongs to a specified system definition then find the pipe size and insert a corresponding block on the endpoint of the pipe. I then want to export the blocks to a new drawing to be imported into a trimble unit for locating inserts on a deck.

Each time I open a drawing, on my arrow dimension I get a style override which is always scaled at 96. Even if I delete the style override, when I close the drawing and open it again, it's back. It's always on the "arrow" dimension, never any other dimensions. I don't know why it's been doing this, it just started one day out of nowhere. Is there a way I can get rid of it? I'm using AutoCAD 2005.

I am having a problem with my dimension style on Acad mech 13. In my template I have set my modified dimension style as current and saved. I have set my template dwt. file to open in Qnew, but when I start a new drawing from Qnew, dimstyle reverts back to default style.

I am trying to solve a problem which all 3 of us in the Drawing office are battling with. The standard dimstyle we use is called "MP2013" , we are finding that somehow ACAD is adding something resembling a "$" sign at the end of the dimstyle and the properties are out of whack. We cant work out what brings it on but its been happening for a week or 2 now.

I'm using different dimension styles for different scales on my drawing, however, if i change one dimension style text to a certain size, all of the others change too, is there something i'm doing wrong? I need every dimension style to be its own text size, but i'm having to manually change them every time.

I have a group of dimension objects gather up by a selection set (objSS). I can screen each one one of these dimension by the lines
Dim objDimStyle As AcadDimStyle
For Each objDimension In objSS
'

Next
How is possible to assign the property Dim Style to each one of my objDimension to an Style that I have already created? I can not find this property available for my objDimension.

why every time I use the DAL shortcut, I get a dimension style override appear? Yet it doesn't do it when i use DIMALI or the DIMALIGNED button?
I've searched extensively for a solution to this yet I can't find a solution that works. The >Drawing Setup>Scale tab doesn't seem to exist in this version, and I've tried setting all the CreateDimOverride values in the registry to 0, but even that isn't working.

I have AutoCAD 2011 now and I am not sure where the Dimention style edit (to show in all dimention lines I am using) is...what I have to do now is to change each line EVERY time I dimention any thing.
the other thing is how to scale the drawign in viewport. In older versions it shows easily. Where is it in this one!?

Is there any way when I am dimensioning something to make it read feet and decimals of a foot for instance.
Instead of it reading 5’-6 9/16” it would read 5.546875’?
I tried a few different things on the dimension style and I can get it to read out in decimal inches (it would be 66.5625” with the example givin) but not feet.
The reason I need it is for a program that we run where we must enter the measurement in decimal feet

I'm trying to create all kinds of functions on an external .js file, so I can just call them in Edge multiple times with less coding. The thing is, after importing jQuery and my external Javascript file, some code works, but I get stuck at this part: changing the .css property of a symbol, more specifically, the "font-size" property. My current function is:
function setFont(textid,fontsize,originalWinWidth){ //textid: symbol's name; fontsize: current font size of this symbol; originalWinWidth: window size at the start of the animation
console.log("Set Font:");
//set the original font size
var originalFontSize = Math.round(originalWinWidth/fontsize);
console.log("Original Font Size: " + originalFontSize);
console.log("Text ID: " + textid);
//set the font size using jquery
sym.$(textid).css("font-size", originalFontSize); }
I get an error at the last line, all other parts of the code works.

I am trying to edit my drawing template dimension style to always do a diameter (if it is a circle). Right now it defaults to radius and I manually right click and change it. I found all sorts of styles for how it displays the radius and diameter, but didn't find where to set the default.

also im new in this discussion groups so if this topic doesnt belongs here let me know before deleting it so i can put it where it belongs
