AutoCAD .NET :: Filter Dynamic Block References In Selection

Mar 22, 2012

I have a problem with selecting all references to a specific dynamic block. When I use the filter below only block “D2” is selected, which is not a dynamic block, Block "Bulb120227” which is a dyn block is not

Dim values() As TypedValue = { _
                New TypedValue(0, "INSERT"), _ 
                New TypedValue(-4, "<OR"), _ 
                New TypedValue(2, "D2"), _ 
                New TypedValue(2, "Bulb120227"), _
                New TypedValue(-4, "OR>") _ 
               }

How should the filter be done to filter out the dyn block that I want several block should be filtered out in one selection.If it is possible to achieve with just a filter at all?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dynamic Block References Itself

Jan 24, 2012

I'm having is that this is happening with a dynamic block. I don't know how it got this way...some 'genius' in my office went into this file and screwed something up, and saved it...so now I'm left with the task of fixing it.

When I go into the block, it opens as a regular drawing, with a dynamic block inside of it...as opposed to opening in the block editor. I just need to know how to get this back to the way it should be, without having to redraw the entire thing from scratch. I made a few scrap-copies of the drawing to fool around with and I can't find a solution. I tried deleting the block and purging it, I tried exploding it, and I tried saving it directly from the block editor...nothing worked.

AutoCAD .NET :: Filter Block Selection By X / Y Coordinates

May 17, 2012

I'm trying to select two specific types of blocks from a drawing so that I can create layouts for each one of the pairs of blocks in my drawing.  Basically, one block is the outline of the piece of the drawing and the second contains information about the drawing.  I would like to select all of the outline blocks and then create a selection to get the second block which is inside the bounds of the first block. 

I'm not sure how to create a set of typed values to do this.  Here is my code so far which sets up a filter to get the first block and then for each of the blocks that it finds, it would select the block with all of the information which is where I am having problems.  I don't know how to create a filter based upon location of the block. 
 
using (Transaction tr = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { filList = new TypedValue[] { new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator,"<and"), new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Start,"INSERT"), new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.BlockName,"D-1*"), new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator,"and>")}; // Build a filter list so that only block references are selected filter = new SelectionFilter(filList); //Select all res =

AutoCAD .NET :: Selection Filter On Block Reference XData

Apr 12, 2007

I'm trying to use a Selection Filter on Block Reference XData value. But I get no hits, it works fine with Lines and Polylines that has the same kind of XData.

Is it a bug or do I have to define my Selection Filter differently when working with Block Reference?

Here is a part of the code :

TypedValue[] flt = new TypedValue[]
{
new TypedValue(-4, " new TypedValue(-4, " new TypedValue(8, "POLYLINE_LAYER"),
new TypedValue(1001, "Object_Id"),
new TypedValue(1000, "166448"),
new TypedValue(-4, "AND>"),
[code].......

AutoCAD 2013 :: Updating Block References Resets Block Table Selections?

Sep 4, 2012

We use a number of blocks with block tables for data extraction here, and whenever one of the blocks is modified and updated, all of the block tables reset to the default value. This happens for any block reference change, not just changes to the block table (which makes sense that it would reset).

How can we update these blocks without having to manually change all of the block tables afterwards?

AutoCAD .NET :: Add Attributes To Block References?

Feb 9, 2012

I was able to take the attributes from block references in independent .dwg files and and bring them across to a new drawing via import. At this point, there are a few attributes that I would like to be able to add to each block reference once it's created. I've designed a GUI where users can input data, and this input (string data) I'd like to add to the block reference as a tag and a corresponding value.

The basics I understand are to create an attribute reference object. Set the properties / parameters for this object (tag and value (originally as a string) and them append the attribute to the block reference. What i don't know how to do is to actually create the new tags and values in the code so that they can later be appended. I'm in C# and so far i've got this:

foreach (ObjectId id in blockBtr)
{
if (id.ObjectClass == RXClass.GetClass(typeof(AttributeDefinition)))
{

AutoCad :: Explode ALL Block References In Drawing?

Dec 20, 2012

Is there any way at all to explode all block references in a drawing so that basically all block references no longer exist and they're just sat in their relevant layers.

In short... exploded :p

But I mean one way to get ALL of them.

AutoCAD LT :: Importing Drawing As Block With Field References To Attribute Values

Nov 25, 2013

We have generic drawings of assemblies we use in layout drawings as standard details.  We insert them as blocks with one or two dimensions that vary (geometry remains the same-these are just representative for information). 

We could define these as attribute values so that a user types a length that displays in the drawing but if we wish this to be part of a dimension we would have to explode the dimension to manually replace the mtext dim value with an attribute tag.

This seems unsubtle so I edited the dim value to be a field referencing the attribute value and made the tag invisible.  This worked in the drawing-the attached shows the attribute tag ALL THREAD and the resultant dimension text (as a field value) replaced with the default value LENGTH.

When the drawing is inserted as a block it duly prompts for a value for ALLTHREAD and any value can be typed-`1200, 3500, 1672 etc. but the dimension does not update from the default value LENGTH, even after using attsync, regenall.  So, if the drawing recognizes the attribute then how come it cant recognize the graphic via a field reference and update it? Is it buried too deep in the database hierarchy for LT to make sense of it maybe?

I dont want to explode the dim but it looks like I may have too if this cannot be made to work.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: How To Save Dynamic Block Using Save Block Icon

Sep 20, 2013

1. What is the easiest way to find points that are not constrained? I get a notice that the block is not fully constrained and its a nightmare going through all the lines trying to find where I need to apply a constarinet.( I can't wait to get off ACAD and back to Inventor.)

2. When I try to save a dynamic block using the Save Block icon under Open/Save, if the dynamic block is not fully constrained, and I click save, when I reopen the block to edit all of my constraints are gone, this has happened twice. Now I just exit by Xing out and saving changes.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Link Dynamic Block Custom Rotation Action

Mar 22, 2013

So I've done a reasonable amount of work with dynamic blocks. I have a block with a rotation action and grip to arbitrarily align it.  However I realized when trying to combine it with an alignment grip (which actions on the basic or fundamental block rotation angle) that there didn't seem to be a way to some how link a dynamic block rotation action or one of the custom angle properties to a the fundamental block rotation angle.  Thus there are two additive rotations at work; the dynamic block one with its grip and the fundamental rotation property.

This can cause some confusion when one person aligns with the grip and another via rotating the block's fundamental property and would also be problematic in the generalized sense if one was trying to select or programmatically read back the net angle alignment.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Flipping Dynamic Block With Multiple Items Not Visible

new to dynamic blocks but looking to streamline my wiring diagrams here and have created a block that shows the typical wire styles we use in a simple easy way.  I now want to add an overall flip to the entire block and have not been able to find set this.  I would prefer to use the same label and go from there.  I have included the block to show what I mean.  It is only working on the single visible item at the one time.  I know this has to be possible just let me know what I am doing wrong.  I am running AutoCad LT 2013

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Create A Dynamic Block For Glass Panel In Balustrade

Feb 28, 2012

I need to create a dynamic block for a "Glass Panel" in a balustrade. I need to be able to insert it, in one corner and stretch it in another corner, to suit the staircase angle.

I've created the block, but it isn't working correctly. I've attached a drawing, with the left hand drawing a sketch of how it needs to be. The right  hand drawing is my dynamic block attempt. As can be seen, when the block is stretched between the 2 points, it doesn't follow the angle of the staircase correctly (Very slight run off)

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Insertion Point Of Attribute Changing Within Dynamic Block

Nov 21, 2011

I wish to create a dynamic block containing some attributes. These attributes are inside rectangles that can't be modified in length using linear parameters ; but the attribute has to be always in the middle of the rectangle. So, I draw a line inside the rectangle (in a hidden layer) and insert the attribute with center justification (not sure for the translation) that I place in the middle of this line ; then I put a coincidence constraint (not sure for the translation, but it's the first one) linking the middle of the line with the middle of the attribute.

But here's the problem : when stretching my rectangle, the insertion point of the attribute suddenly changes from "center" to "bottom left".

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Pass Attribute Values To Dynamic Block Parameters?

Dec 4, 2013

I am looking for a way to use the ATTIN/ATTOUT workflow to bring in data from an excel spreadsheet to drive the size of each of my block's instances. The block will be simple, a rectangle, with width and length parameters. For each entity in my excel/csv file these parameter values are spelled out. I know how to display these parameters in my attributes, but I don't know how, if I were to feed in these values, to drive the geometry. If there's a better way to take a list of width and length values to generate a series of blocks each with a rectangle containing its respective size.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: How To Disable The Dialog Box Shown When Open A Dynamic Block

Nov 7, 2011

I need to do some repetitive task on a lot of dynamic blocks, unfortunately, when I open each file, AutoCAD keeps asking if I want to open it with the block editor.

Is there a way to disable that dialog and open the files as normal dwgs?

A hint: BLOCKEDITLOCK doesn't make it, it shows another dialog...

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Make Dynamic Block Of Column Radiator

Mar 26, 2012

I'm trying to make a dynamic block of a column radiator.

It should be very simple. It's a 46mm wide module that comes in a range of heights (300, 500, 600, & 750mm) and a range of assembly widths (9, 13, 18, 22 & 27 modules wide - more commonly given as mm widths of 414, 598, 828, 1012 & 1242 respectively).

My attempt at constructing it has gone quite well, but when 'stretching' the block a ghost of the core 414 (w) x 300 (h) unit remains. I attach the block to give you a better idea of what I mean.

AutoCad :: Insert Dynamic Block From File With Multiple Dynamic Blocks

Jul 16, 2010

I have a drawing ("SURUBURI.dwg") with several dynamic blocks ("M12", "M16", "M18" ... an so on...). I want to insert in my current drawing, one of the blocks from SURUBURI.dwg, for instance the block named "M12".

For that i tried creating a new command "INSERT_M12" that has the following script :

^C^C-INSERT; "I:/Ionut Mihaila/Goodies/SURUBURI.dwg/M12"

Now obvious that doesn't work, but i think it shows clearly what i want to accomplish. So is there an other way to do this?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Stretch Dynamic Block Grip Points

Feb 4, 2011

I have successfully created a dynamic block. I can insert it into AutoCAD, and it behaves like I want, except for one thing.

I can select the block and change it by taking a grippoint and place it at another position. So my block is e.q. stretched, just like I wanted.

But then. When I want to use the ordinary STRETCH command of AutoCAD, I can only stretch the insertion point of the block, but not the grippoints. Is there a way to set a grippoint to be select edable by commands like STRETCH.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Grip Point Dynamic Block

I have a dynamic block with several actions and parameters. There are three grip points. Two are visible. One appears when you move one of the other grips. If i insert or paste this block near my template, the X/Y basepoint stays near the template when i drag the block on the template with one of the other two grips.. When i print the drawing the basepoint stays visible and the scale on my printed drawing is not correct (smaller).

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Mirrored Rotation Dynamic Block

Jun 14, 2012

Is it possible to mirror a rotation within a dynamic block?

See the attached drawing.  I am trying to have two rotations within a dynamic block, but only one grip.  When the grip is rotated one half of the block rotates while the other half rotates in reverse.  The resulting action would be much like the wings of a butterfly.

I have tried many different combinations of parameters, actions and constraints with no luck.  The block in the attached file was as close as I could get. Have I reached the end of what AutoCAD is capable of?
