AutoCAD .NET :: Get All Running Application Instances
May 10, 2013
I need to get all Autocad applications objects, not only active one.
I'm writing a program which is checking if XREFS attached to current drawing are not opened in another Autocad instance.
Normaly I can get document collection as follow:
Dim docCol As DocumentCollection = Application.DocumentManager
Is there a way to get an Application object from another Autocad process (acad.exe)?
I wonder if there is something like this:
Spoiler (Highlight to read)Spoiler (Highlight to read)Dim app As Application = GetApplicationFromProcess()

BackBurner stopped working for me when 3DS Max 2012 came out so my work around was simply opening multiple instances meaning I'd have one "Max" rendering a scene while I worked in another "Max" while at night, having 2-3 simultaneous instances of 2012 rendering out animations. This really came in handy for doing multiple projects at the same time between render scene passes.
I can run 3 stable 3DS Max 2012 on the same machine without a problem, I can even run 1 x 3DS Max 2013 and 3 instances of 2012 at the same time BUT I'm unable to run more than one instance of 2013... it boots-up 2013 but then just hangs and doesn't do anything. I tried using BackBurner but it doesn't work so basically, it seems like I'm stuck running only one instance of 2013 at a time.
Is there a setting somewhere I can enable multiple instances again? I did take a look at Deadline but they don't support 2013 yet.

I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 but get the following alert: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." Can it be reinstalled? It is not available under "History" and none of the available installs appear to be for Mac OS X (Version 10.7.4). S

I have PSE9 and a macbook pro 10.9. I lost the original DVD that came with my purchase of PSE. Some files must have gotten corrupted because I can't open the program without reintalling. It says, "Some of the application components are missing from the application directory. Please reinstall the application." I have the serial number and all and I registered the product. Is there somewhere I can download a new copy to install?

I need to connect to specific instances of AutoCAD and Plant3D. The Running Object Table (ROT) only holds one instance so GetObject wont work.
I've tried getting the correct instance using the hwnd with the AccessibleObjectFromWindow function. I'am thinking the easiest way is to autoload a plugin to communicate with, maybe through a service.

I can find which images are attached to my current drawing with the following code. However, I don't know how to find out how many times they are attached.

I'm sure I've seen it here before and have probaly forgotten how to do something that is simple although how do I change an inserted block (A) into block B? i.e. if I select 1000 instances of Block_A I want them to all be converted into Block_B (without editing Block_A) where Block_b is already defined in the CAD file.

using ACadLT 2008. i'm creating a frame sheet for my firm. i created attributes inside a block. when double clicking, the attribute dialog will lunch and i can type the info, but...
i need instances of the same attribute among the sheet so for example the "date of submission" and the date i keep in the "history" are always the same, i don't want to enter twice the same date.

As the subject line says, when multiple instances of Inventor are open on the same machine, the addin will only show in the first one. I do not see any errors generated and tried many approaches. I tried to use the ribbon abpannelcontrol
created by the first instance. Or in every subsequent instance of Inventor to delete the existing ribbon abpannelcontrol, and recreate them from scratch. Both approaches did not work.

How do I prevent Inventor from opening files in new Inventor sessions?
If I try to open a file from Windows Explorer or from an email attachment, it opens it up in a brand new Inventor session, even if I already have Inventor open.
If I select two or three files in Windows Explorer or from an attachment to open, it opens them all in individual new Inventor sessions.
I would like to set Inventor (or Windows) so that these files open in the already existing session or at least the same session as each other. I didn't have this problem before upgrading to a new computer and reinstalling.

I discovered the TXT2MTXT command and how wonderful it is, but there is one thing missing. Is it possible to change multiple texts, but separately WITHOUT having to re-issue the command? I've experimented with some of the in command options, but unless I'm missing something, nothing seems to work.
Preferably, I would like it to work like the FILLET -> Multiple command, so I could select a group of texts, convert them then select another group etc, but the 'multiple' option in TXT2MTXT does not work in such a way.

I would like to know if it is possible to have a single attribute fill multiple strings of text. I have text that appears in more than one spot in a block of mine but when inserting the block i would like to be prompted once to fill the attribute.

I have a few components in my assembly that I want to turn off under certain conditions. Using Component.IsActive, I can turn on or off an instance, but some of the components are in a pattern, and I want to turn on or off all instances of the component. To add to the challenge, the component patters are driven from Excel, and the quantity of parts changes.How can I turn off all of the instances of a pattern?

I use a "dump assembly" of assemblies to create cut lists. I throw in multiple copies of each assembly for the job. Sometimes it can be 100 or so of each.These are not placed in any way and could be all placed at the origin. This is only for the parts list and servers no other function.
Any way to place multiple instances of an assembly at once?

I was wondering if there exists an Autocad command that would allow the user to click an object, and then "highlight" all instances of the object. Refer to the attached pdf -hopefully it can convey what my words cannot.
For example:
The block name is "resistor" and there are 10 instances of this block. When I click the block "resistor", a dialog box will open, displaying the 10 "resistor" blocks.
When I select one of the ten "resister" blocks, that block will become highlighted. The reason for this is that I am building a very large electrical drawing, and this feature would make it infinitely easier to navigate. I know this feature exists in Matlab and I was wondering if Autocad allows for this kind of command.

I have a block with an attribute and need to change the first three characters of each to a different two characters. I recall my instructor once showing me how i could do this easily without having to click on each block to change the attribute.

I have an assembly with multiple instances of a subassembly. I'd like to remove the subassembly and place the subassembly components (i.e. multiple instances) in the main assembly. When complete, the top assembly would have multiple instances of all the subassembly components.
Component promote seems like the right way to do this. So, I selected an instance of one of the subassemblies components and promoted it. That component was promoted, removing it from the subassembly as placing it in my top level assembly.
However, all the other instances of that component disappear (which makes sense since that component is no longer in the subassembly). Unfortunately, this means I have to assemble and constrain all the other instances that disappeared.

So a quick search came up with "don't open from the Vault; open from within Inventor."
Lets not have that arguement.
My office just upgraded from Inventor 2009 to Inventor 2010. 3 seats, all installed the same way. When the other two users open something from the Vault, and then open a 2nd file (be it a drawing/part/assembly), it opens as a new window within the same Inventor session. (Just like it used to in .../2008/2009).
When I open from the Vault, it starts a new session of Inventor. This is frustrating, when you have an assembly open, modify a bunch of components, and then want to open their respective drawings to update them... the drawings will open in new sessions when opened from the Vault.
Obviously I've got something changed somewhere. Quick search through the Inventor options came up with nothing. Vault options?
Please don't tell me to start opening files from inside Inventor... that's a waste of my time... and everything has worked fine until this fresh install of 2010.

I have a door with 3 of the same handle. I have a program in which the user selects 1 of the handles to turn it into a keyed handle. Now, this all works but the problem is that all of the 3 regular handle instances will be replaced with the keyed handle.
Dim oOccHandle As ComponentOccurrence = oINV.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kAssemblyOccurrenceFilter, "Select a door handle to replace.")
oOccHandle.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedFileDescriptor.ReplaceReference(PathToKeyedHandleModel)

I have several iParts with their respective derived parts in my library. There are not many other Inventor users here that use those parts, but they might benefit from having those individual parts. The iPart may change from time to time, and in order to keep the individual parts current, I am required to activate them one by one, exporting them to STEP, IGES, SAT or IPT files for both people here to use as well as our Pro-E and Solidworks users. Is there a way to automate that process so I can hit a button and have it save all instances to a certain file format?

I need multiple (say two) instances of the same text values (in the same drawing) but in different formats.
Consider this: I have a drawing sheet with a title block that contains the drawing number and the author's name at the bottom with some other drawing details. Now I wish to have these "values" arranged in a matrix form at the top also, for indexing purpose.
TitleBoxMonoSpace.png
One way is to manually enter each value, one by one, in the matrix box but that would be too time consuming. So, is there a way to automate this; where I can enter the values in the bottom title block, which would automatically update the above matrix?
I believe it can be done using a combination of Attributes and Fields but am just not getting it. To make the issue even worse, I need Numbers without hyphens (-) and only Initials of the author's name!

I have a part called "bracket" which has a multi-value parameter "mass" which can be 100, 200, 300, or 400 and controls the width of the bracket.I have an assembly into which I have placed thee brackets.
How do I set different parameters for each of the instances of "bracket"?I want one bracket with mass = 100, one with mass = 200, and one with mass = 300, such that I have three brackets of different widths.
I must not be searching on the right text in Google because I find only ways to change the value of the parameter within the core component (such that all brackets change and end up the same width).

I am wondering when in the idw and have multiple parts some the same and some different. I would like to distinguish between each part as a different part or balloned so they all have a different ref number.
example: have part A and part B and part C
part A has three different instances in the iam
part B has two
part C has four
How do I represent them in parts list and ballooning as different single instances?
part A- ballooned like- 1, 2, 3
part B- ballooned 4,5
part C- ballooned 6,7,8,9

I noticed some errors in certain table entries in an i Feature of mine after I had already started creating parts using it. I've updated the table and when I add new instances of the feature to my part they work fine, but the existing instances of it stay the same size. Is there any way to force the existing instances to update?
The i Feature in question is a sketch and I'm using Inventor 2012, if either of those is relevant.

I am trying to select multiple instances of text (dtext) with different strings but want to change all of the fomats to the same settngs. I have searched high and low on the web to no avail. I am using AutoCAD 2012.
For example: I want the routine to find all instances of "AA", "AB", "AC", "AD", "BA", "BB", "BC", "BD", etc... all the way up to "ZD".
Next I want all of those text entities to change to the following text formats:
Text Style = STANDARD_96Layer = F-ANNO-CKTText Justification = MIDDLE CENTERText Width = .8
Getting this to work with just finding one string at a time with the ssget function seems simple enough, but it's getting it to work with multiple strings that I can't get past.

I have a student edition of CS5 installed on 2 Macs for the last year . It is rare that I would use them both together but one evening this week, I did. Since then the eraser tool one on Mac has stopped working, and on the other, the crop has stopped working. Have I triggered some type of licensing issue, or is this a known bug? I had not updated CS5 for a couple of months, prior. I updated it to the latest CS5 downloads today, but with no change?
