AutoCAD .NET :: How To Using Modeless Form
Nov 26, 2013I want to AutoCAD do not lock it's space, when my Form is shown on display. But I have an exception when I use modeless dialog.
public void MyCommand ()
{
//-------------------------------------------------
// Using this code, my program works fine, but locks modal space of AutoCAD
System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles ();
System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run (new Form1 ());
// I want to use this instruction to do not lock modal space
// Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.ShowModelessDialog (new Form1 ());
//-------------------------------------------------
}
If I use modeless dialog I can read and write from acad prompt and create block; BUT I can't create BlockReference.
I get an exception "eLockViolation" in the next code instructions:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public void CreateBlockReference (string strBlockName, Point3d Origin) {
using( Transaction t = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction () ) {
BlockTable btTable = (BlockTable)t.GetObject (db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead); // <--- EXCEPTION

AutoCAD .NET :: How To Force Command Line Focus
Jun 28, 2012How does one programmatically set the command line to have keyboard focus?
I'm programmatically setting an active/focused PaletteSet's visibility to false.
_paletteSet.Visible = false;
I would like to follow this line with code that sets the command line to receive focus.
The PaletteSet for other reasons has KeepFocus = true.
I've tried various Win32 APIs (SwitchToThisWindow, SetForegroundWindow, SetActiveWindow) to no avail. I also tried SendCommand() and SendStringToExecute(activate=true,..) , etc.
I imagine there's a way to do this with the native APIs.
AutoCAD .NET :: Set Focus To Main Window From Form?
Dec 7, 2013How to switch focus to AutoCAD document window from my form of C# .NET plug-in.
After user pressed the button, I invite him to input a point, but my form still on top.
And it is nessesary to press minimize button, next to set a Focus on Autocad window, then to pick a point.
It is not handy enough.
I did not find a property to set a focus in class of Application.MainWindow.
AutoCAD .NET :: Can Keep A Modeless Dialog Permanently
Dec 18, 2013Is it possible to keep a modeless dialog box permanently open (aside) just like a properties or tool pallete dialog box?If Yes, by keeping permanently, can I work in autocad environment normally as usual, like save, edit, close and open other drawings?
Note: Just assume that I am making a calculator-like dialog box. I would like to keep it open till the autocad application closes? (even in zero document mode.)
AutoCAD .NET :: Create Modeless Dialog Box
Nov 11, 2013I want to create a modeless dialog box that is associated with Excel instead of AutoCAD. The program will run in AutoCAD and then it will open an instance of Excel. I want the ability for the user to then select a button on the modeless dialog that will import in data from the Excel Worksheet into AutoCAD. My preference is for the modeless dialog to be shown in Excel and not necessarily be tied to AutoCAD.

AutoCAD .NET :: Break Points Not Stopping Code On Modeless Forms?
Mar 8, 2012I am using acad 2012, and VS 2010 (C#) on win 7 64 bit.
I made a form, and showing it as modeless via Application.ShowModelessDialog... as recommended by everyone and that works fine.
I have a button that does something, and I set a break point right on the first line of code for its callback.
The button runs fine, but VS is not stopping at the break point.
Is there a different technique required when debugging modeless forms?

InDesign :: Submit Form Button Doesn't Work In Interactive Form Opened In Reader Created In 6
Oct 8, 2012One of the features I was really looking forward to in CS6 was creating fillable forms with ONE application. I created a form following the step by step instructions in classroom in a book for CS6. When I opened the exported form in Reader X, I get a "This operation is not permitted" error. I opened the completed "end" document in the lesson to make sure I didn't commit an error, and I got the same message when exporting. I have looked for places in menus to modify security restrictions and I can't find any. I installed the updates and that didn't solve the issue.
I saw one solution posted which is to open the document in Acrobat, then do a "save as" option. Is there anything we can do that doesn't involve buying additional software? If this is not the case, then Adobe seriously needs to change its training and advertising about this functionality.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Form Picture - Parameter Driven Picture On A Form
Apr 10, 2013I am working on a form (global) and have added a picture with a parameter and a picture folder underneath. So that the picture displayed on my form will change depending on the parameter value.Here comes the trick. Only text parameters can be used!On the form editor only 'Text parameter' can be selected to drive the picture selection. I actually need an integer, so that i can use my User/Excel parameters from Inventor.
I can work this around with an iLogic rule to equal the value of my string Picture Parameter with the relevant integer Inventor parameter, but the rules need to be run before the pic and the form updates (by pressing the 'Apply' button at the bottom of the form and then the assy updates too. So this takes a couple of minutes)... whereas if it was an option on the form editor then the update would be instant without waiting for everything to update...
Is there a particular reason why the Picture Parameter only can be a text parameter?

AutoCAD .NET :: Windows Focus During Batch Processing?
Oct 19, 2010I have a VBA program that I'm converting to VB.Net. The program is a batch process that opens a an excel file, opens a template drawing, adds blocks (listed in the excel file), plots and saves the drawing, then moves on to the next drawing, and so on. In Autocad 2008 and previous version, the program ran in the background, i.e. I could see what was happening, but it didn't affect the running of other programs (like email). However, since switching to Autocad 2009 (and 2010, and now 2011), the very same program now steels focus every time a new drawing is created (every few seconds). We've been running this program for years during normal business hours, but have had to change to running them on a remote VM (which is slower) or at night.
I have since converted the program to vb.net, but I get the same results; windows or autocad keeps returning the focus to the autocad interface. When I originally started to covert this program, I was going to do everything in the database only (not the user interface), it appears that to plot, though, the drawing must be opened in the interface.
I can still run the same VBA program in 2008 or 2007 (if I re-install them) and it will run without steeling focus, but the 2007 file format is slightly larger and adds up with the thousands of drawings we are dealing with. And I want to move to vb.net and 2011.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Cursor Focus Not Stable?
Jun 17, 2012Ever tried filleting a model and noticed this annoying behavior. You want to type in 0.25... So you typed 0 first, then typed point, then 2. You are now going to type the remaining part 5. You notice that 5 replaces all the numbers in the dialog box. All of a sudden now inventor thinks the fillet value is 5.
Bad part is that this is a huge casting model and 5 is too big and inventor is now frozen.

AutoCAD VB :: Force New Toolbar Location With VBA Programming?
Dec 12, 2011I had made a short function I AutoCAD that generates a user definable toolbar. The toolbar is placed using the
acToolbarDockLeft, acToolbarDockRight , acToolbarDockTop , acToolbarDockFloating
Methods of which I chose acToolbarDockFloating all nice but because floating hasn’t been saved in a workspace (yet) means that the toolbar is placed in the top left corner. To cut a series of tests and playing round with lisp and scripts and the likes I'm after a way of simply forcing the new toolbar in the dead centre of the screen using VBA.
I have googeld and the likes but cant find anything that resembles like
ObjToolbr.Dock acToolbarDockFloating 200, 200
(Presuming the location of the toolbar I want to force is 200 by 200)
AutoCAD LT :: Way To Force Someone To Save As Immediately After They Start A New Dwg?
Oct 20, 2011Our company is using 2012Lt and has a couple (3) regular templates we use. The problem is I have to keep going back to the templates and clean them out (txt styles, layers, etc) and what I suspect is happening is that someone starts a new dwg does some work and the auto save kicks in before they "save as".
Question, is there a way to force someone to "Save As' immediately after they start a new dwg?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Force Refresh Is Not Working?
Dec 10, 2011I am trying to make a simple app using .NET classes.
I made a simple Windows.Form in which are check boxes (on for each layer of the CAD drawing).
Just to set the visibility of each layer. Everything is working fine, but I have a little problem with refreshing a drawing.
Changes of visibility settings are applied after a form is closed.
I need the drawing to be refreshed after every check box check change.
I enclose a method with handles check boxes changes.

AutoCAD .NET :: How To Force Reload Linetypes From Acad.lin
Oct 4, 2011I have a bunch of drawings for which I have to reload the linetypes (they have to be redefined, for example pneumatic line has a new definition but the drawing has an older one). Is there a way other than rename the old linetypes, then load the newer version, then iterate through all objects and change the linetype to the newer version?

Aug 29, 2012I want to force a saveas from an external app using code as below:-
If OApp.Ready Then
Try
Call oDoc.SaveAs(File_Full_Name, True)

However, Inventor invariably crashes at this point - especially if panning a model. Is there a way I can either lock Inventor from the user whilst the save is happening or check that no mouse or keyboard activity is in use?
I have tried monitoring the status bar text for "Ready" but tihs is unreliable.
AutoCAD .NET :: How To Force GC To Clear Memory After BindXRef
Jan 14, 2013I have a issu when i use BindXRef. I have 4 XREF in my dwg. so i use à Do / While for each XREF i have found. It work fine but whrn the Xref is big File, i have the issue "Out Of memory".
So the question : How i can Force the GC to clear all memory not used. My Think is to force the GC to Clear the memory before to use BindXRef() with only one XRef before to BindXRef with another.
Here my code :
Dim LockDoc As DocumentLock = doc.LockDocument Dim MemNumBoucle As Integer = -1 Dim CollXRef As New ObjectIdCollection Do CollXRef.Clear() Dim xg As XrefGraph = db.GetHostDwgXrefGraph(True) Dim root As GraphNode = xg.RootNode Using tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction For o = 0 To root.NumOut - 1 Step 1 Dim child As [Code]......
In this example i cant BindXREf ('R+1') alone. I need to BindXRef('ARCHI') before
AutoCad :: Force Dimension Of A Line / Circle
Sep 29, 2011If there is a way to force the dimension of a line or circle or anything.
For example: If I draw a line and dimension it, it will dimension it to 2.973 let's say, but if I want to change the dimension or the line to 3.300, how would I do that?
Also, after you create a 2D drawing, is there a way to make it a 3D model or extrude the model?
AutoCAD .NET :: Changing Document Focus While Executing A Command
Sep 30, 2012I am occasionally developing with ObjectARX 2013. The problem: A command being executed from a document needs to focus on another document. I am doing that as:
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument = aGeneratedDrawing;
After this line, the focus is taken by the other document. But the command execution just stops without producing any visible error or catchable exception. Apparently, the document focus cannot be changed during execution of a command.
A solution: What worked in the end was displaying a .NET form inside the command, like:
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.ShowModelessDialog(aForm);
Then, performing the very same set of actions on a button click works flawlessly.
The question is: can using the form as a mediator be avoided? It is redundant there. I tried hooking to CommandEnded, executing the code as a separate command via Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute, and also executing the code in a separate delayed thread. So far, only triggering the code via the form worked.
AutoCAD Map 3D :: 2012 Window Looses Focus When Using Functions
Jul 10, 2012When i use standard Acad-functions or even simply select an object like a polyline from land-survey,the "ribbon" changes to the corresponding Topic of the object,and the Map3D window looses its focus. (normal windows-mouse-cursor is displayed, not the AutoCAD crosshair). After clicking in Map 3D window again, crosshair reappears,and work can continue.
It doesn't matter if Map3d-windows is in windowed mode or fullscreen,it also doesn't matter if the windows is only on one of my 2 monitors or on both.
didn't have this problems using Topobase Client 2009,2010,2011...but since 2012 few problems evolved... (drawing-order-bug, memory-leak problem etc. etc.)
