AutoCAD .NET :: Create DBTEXT Element In BackgroundWorker?
Jun 6, 2012
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.

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've created a fairly simple mesh in 3DS Max to use as topography in ACA. I'd like to be able to turn the geometry into a mass element or even a 3D Solid so that I can use it ACA, but this doesn't seem possible. I feel like Ive tried every conversion method I know how to do but ACA doesn't seem to have this ability, or least not a very strong ability.

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.

DB 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.

Below is my test procedure for "Create Curve Mesh Element" by Inventor simulation 2012.
1. I made a box 100(W)X100(D)X20(H) with 2xR20 (mm) fillets at the opposite edges.
2. I copied a box I made for making 2 type mesh.
3. I made mesh on the box without "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.
Node number: 2374
Element number: 1365
4. I made mesh another model with "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.
Node number: 2374 (same number, not increase)
Element number: 1365
Mesh shape is different(please refere attachiment jpeg file).
I think that "Create Curved Mesh Element option" is not for making second tetrahedron elements.But I cnanot the true porpose of "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.For only P method, not H method?

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've just made the dramatic leap from AutoCAD LT 2005 to AutoCAD LT 2013. By far and away the environment in 'Classic" mode is very familiar and there are some new features. However, one item really getting under my skin is the hatch feature. In LT 2005 one could pick the points to hatch, if the item is closed or not, by individual mouse click points similar to how you can still check an area now. Is this hatch feature still available and I just don't have the new program configured properly or will I be forced to draw each item I want to hatch as a 'closed' element?

I cannot draw any elements from design pallet. Happens suddenly. Probably I accidentally switch something. In command line show command like:WallAdd and right away show another command line. Cannot add any doors or windows - same problem.

Is there any way to select an entity by command prompt (without using mouse) so that it can be modified. Actually I need to do some modification to some entities using script and hence I need a way to access the drawing elements by command or kind of way without using mouse.

I have an error that started appearing in my VBA programs since we upgraded to AutoCAD 2012. This problem never occured in our previous releases. The program is supposed to loop through all entities in paperspace and check for entities that are a acBlockReference object.
Below is a simplified version of my program. I get an Element Not Found error on the line noted. Again, this has never happened in any of our previous versions of AutoCAD. Just started with 2012.
Sub Test
Dim blkref As AcadBlockReference
Dim entry As Variant
For Each entry In ThisDrawing.PaperSpace
If entry.EntityType = acBlockReference Then ' <-This is where the Element Not Found error occurs
msgbox entry.name
endif
next
end sub

I’ve got a student version (AutoCAD for Mac 2013) , which I got from official website. There starting to appear few problems after a few months of my work.
1. when I’m doing a rectangle, lines that intersect or just lines that contact, in the point of connection appear small blue rectangles and windows of mistakes. If I trying to move only one element of this object, all others elements start to deform in chaotic way.
2. when I’m coping any object on the same page in one file, program start to buzz and I need to close the program despotic.

I have a problem that when I add elements to a layout view. These elements contain parts of my drawing and have an outline to them in the layout view. This is handy when working in the layou view, but they are also being plotted when I export to PDF. How can I make these borders disappear in the plots?

How can I alternate the element selection if both elements are on top of each other? I tried to mouse click on the lement with alt or control keys but nothing worked.
Example. I drew a construction line then I drew the line I want to keep on top of it. Now I am trying to delete the construction line but the new line keeps highligting.

I know that I can assign transparency to an element (even to an entire layer). But is it possible to apply transparency to an element on a GRADIENT basis? In the following image, I'd like to have the portion between the outer boundary of the gray shape and the red shape become more and more transparent. So that at the outer edge, you'd see NOTHING below the gray shape--but the closer you get to the red shape, the more you'd see through the gray shape.

I'm trying to figure out a way to convert a 'Polyface Mesh' into a mass element or some other solid. The Polyface Mesh was created by importing a .3ds model using the '3dsin' command. The .3ds file was created from exporting the model out of Max.

I have a rectangular component pattern which started out with all components. As more structure was added around it I started supressing different elements to suit, now a piece of structure has gone thru element 1 but i dont seem to be able to supress it... is there an easy way to get rid of element 1 without having to redefine the pattern? (redefining causes me other problems)

I am trying to understand how to select element of pick point through API.
I have found example in API manual, chapter "Interactive selection". Everything seems be clear but finally this example (and also others which I have found on web) doesnot work as I am expecting.
There is example:
Public Sub TestSelection() ' Create a new clsSelect object. Dim oSelect As New clsSelect ' Call the pick method of the clsSelect object and set ' the filter to pick any face. Dim oFace As Face Set oFace = oSelect.Pick(kPartFaceFilter) ' Check to make sure an object was selected. If Not oFace Is Nothing Then ' Display the area of the selected face.'''' there is cursor and content menu correct
[code]...
I am able to select face, during selection is cursor shown as arrow with plus symbol, content menu show correctly zoom and pan commands. Unfortunatelly when this selection is done and message box show the value, the cursor and content menu does not return to correct state. Cursor is still with plus and content menu with zoom&pan. I have found that problem is with messagebox, just before messagebox is shown the cursor and content menu return to correct state , but after messagebox is shown and closed, then cursor and content menu is wrong. Why?
Finally I need it for my addin in C#, is there and better way how to select item or input 2d point?
I use Inv 2013.

There used to be a product called Cadmin, that was a very useful tool for changing common elements in a group of door window assembly styles at the same time.
I have a source file with 870 door window assembly styles that I want to modify a division in. The division has the same unique name in all of the assemblies, and I want it to end up the same in all styles. Is there a way to do this that I am not aware of or do I have to select 870 styles individually?

I've been experimenting with lists and I'm curious about the fastest / easiest way to get the next element from a list:
Currently my best shot is to wrap (member 2 '(1 2 3)) with: (car(cdr (member 2 '(1 2 3))))

I am having a strange issue with a specific file. If I copy to clipboard any element in this file it locks up. If I wblock the drawing, it locks up. If I open a blank file and select an element and drag and drop it in to the new blank file, it works fine.
If I copy to clipboard the droped element in the new file it works fine. It is local to this one file. This one file is most probably a 2008 file originaly, opened and saved to 2012.
What gremlins should I look for from older verstion to newer version that would cause this issue?
