AutoCAD .NET :: How To Add TextStyles In A DimStyle
Sep 2, 2011
i created a method that creates a "DIMSTYLE":
private ObjectId CreateDimstyle() { DimStyleTable dimStyleTable = (DimStyleTable)transaction.GetObject(database.DimStyleTableId, OpenMode.ForRead); DimStyleTableRecord dimStyleTableRecord = null; if (dimStyleTable.Has(configuration.EXTDIMStyleName) == false) { if (dimStyleTable.IsWriteEnabled == false) dimStyleTable.UpgradeOpen(); dimStyleTableRecord = new DimStyleTableRecord(); dimStyleTableRecord.Name = configuration.EXTDIMStyleName; dimStyleTable.Add(dimStyleTableRecord); transaction.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(dimStyleTableRecord, true); } else { dimStyleTableRecord = transaction.GetObject(dimStyleTable[configuration.EXTDIMStyleName], OpenMode.ForWrite) as DimStyleTableRecord; } dimStyleTableRecord.Dimscale = configuration.EXTDIMScale; dimStyleTableRecord.Dimtdec = configuration.EXTDIMPrecision; dimStyleTableRecord.Dimlunit =
[code]...
Works well. But I think it would be more correct to put the text style in the style of the dimension. As in AutoCad.
I was looking at the properties of "DIMSTYLE."
[URL]
But found no one to set "TEXTSTYLE" pattern to my "DIMSTYLE".How can I do this?

I'm a student and a beginner in VBA. I'm writing a macro to automatically draw text and lines in a drawing and it goes pretty well. But now I have encountered a problem. When I add text like this:
Dim FreqBox As TextBox
Set FreqBox = oSketch.TextBoxes.AddFitted(oTG.CreatePoint2d(1.9, 1.95), GegevensForm.FrequentieVak.Value)
This is like I want it, but not the right font or size, so I add this:
FreqBox.Style.Font = "Arial"
FreqBox.Style.FontSize = 0.2
This goes well too, but then I want to add another TextBox, in another style, like this:
Dim VermogenBox As TextBox
Set VermogenBox = oSketch.TextBoxes.AddFitted(oTG.CreatePoint2d(3.7, 3.2), GegevensForm.VermogenVak.Value)
VermogenBox.Style.Font = "Arial"
VermogenBox.Style.FontSize = 0.5
VermogenBox.HorizontalJustification = kAlignTextRight
VermogenBox.Style.Bold = True
And suddenly when I run this, the other text is changing to these settings... (exept for the alignment).Is it possible to do this without the FormattedText option

while working on a new file, which only has our 4 standard textstyles, something happened at some point during the work period where multiple textstyles named "AUDIT_1_12030....." and counting up appeared. over 40 of them.
they are all somehow embedded within the each object in the file, even lines, which confuses me. Noweven if i wanted to just copy most of the project excluding blocks, dims, leaders and text, (which was my original assumption that the textstyles were in there somewhere), I cant. I usually am able to remove unwanted textstyles through the TXTMRG LISP/VBA macro. It has no effect this time.

The only way to change dimensions that I know of is DIMSTYLE. I know how to make new dimensions styles and such, but I am having trouble setting the dimension styles by LAYER.
I currently have a pretty good solution but it would be better if it was automatically set by layer. I just qselect a layer, go to the properties, and change it all at the same time in the end.
Is this possible? Might there be a better way? If you are wondering why I am mixing dimensions, it's because I send my drawings to several different people and companies, and they only need to work with certain aspects of my drawings.

I am trying to find out what the current DimStyle of the drawing.
I have iterated through all DimStyle but can’t find any way of finding the current Style.
For Each DsrID In DST Dim R As DimStyleTableRecord = CType(DsrID.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead), DBObject) Debug.Print(R.Name)Next

In a drawing with multiple dimstyles, my dimscale always goes back to (1) when switching from one dimstyle to another. Even after I set the dimscale for "dimstyle 1" and I then set and use "dimstyle 2", when I go back to "dimstyle 1" I have to set the dimscale again.
How do I set it to where I can set the dimscale once for each dimstyle. All dimstyles have the same dimscale.

i've run into this quite a few times where i would open a drawing and there would be an override on the current dimstyle...i would clear the override and save the drawing...another day i would open the file and the override is created again...
i greatly suspect that the annotation scale is the culprit...when i check the dimstyle override the scale for dimension under the fittab is set to a number reflecting the scale...ie if the annotation is 1"=1'-0" it will be 12...if it's 1/4"=1'-0" it will be 48 etc...
i also noticed that an override is created after editing a dynamic block...
in addition to the above, the override is not created if the anotative scale is the same as the "fit" number...

Can a DIMSTYLE with annotative box checked be used in Layout or Paper Space? If so, are dimension at risk of losing their associative to part being dimension or be subject to change their Scale Factor when moving model or a different user (machine) opens the file?

Recently, I switched companies. I am supposed to insert their sheet template into model space at 3/4" = 1' which I have done. There are parts that need to be detailed. On the detailed part the dimensions all come up fine (after altering the scale/dimstyle) but when I try adding dimensions to the original drawing, instead of getting the 3'-0" measurement I should get, somehow I get the measurement for 48'-0".

I have a set of dimensions, which for the purposes of the 1/2"=1'-0" viewport, are set to a scale of 24x. If I go to adjust some, not all, just some of the dimensions, it kicks it to 576x; this happens if I adjust the placement/grips of the dimension, or even change the precision from 1/32" to 1/8". In the DIMSTYLE dialogue box, I have everything set to the precision and scale I need; I UPDATE all dim's in the layout, and some, not all, still stay at 576x and 1/32".
One "workaround" is to just get all the dim's in place and MATCH them all to the one dimension that is and stays at 24x & 1/8" prec; however, this is a hassle given how many dim's are on this struc. sheet. This is made a little easier using LAYISO, but I want it done correctly as I move forward and not have to keep double-checking every d*** dim before plotting or sending the file to someone else.
Is there some setting, presumably that keeps overriding all of my overrides and settings adjustments? I don't understand how I can create a new dim, and it follows my settings like normal, but I go to adjust it, and it's 576x|1/32", which I cannot track to any setting within DIMSTYLE.

I'm sure this has been addressed in these hollowed posts but a search didn't turn it up. I have a dimstyle with primary units format set to "Fractional" and would like the inch (") marks to come in. I know i can add the inch mark as the suffix, but is there a better way? Archetectural and Engineering formats both include the inch marks and this makes sense to me. But if "fractional" format is not inches, then what would it be?

I am having problems getting the CAD Standards Checker - Dimstyle plug-in to correctly recognize Annotative dimstyles.
I should point out that this error occurs in both AutoCAD 2011, and AutoCAD 2012 (which these screen shots are from)
My DWS file is correctly configured to have the dimstyle set to be annotative:
Then, I save this file to be a DWT file for our company's standard drawing template.
However, when I configure standards and add the DWS file to the DWT file ...even though the files are identical... I run the standards checker and get this!
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is the CAD Standards Checker not properly recongizing the Annotative Dimension Style?

I've been working on a lisp to set up basic settings such as text styles, dim styles, discipline specific layers and things of that nature.
I have a prompt to ask for a discipline designator as a string. I want to have an If statement or a conditional to read that string and check for a "C" if it finds it I want to have it set up a dimstyle to decimal feet ect and if not do it as architectural units.
This is just a test lisp that I'd like to add to the main one listed above...
(defun c:test(/ disc dsnm dsna)
(setq disc (getstring "
Discipline (G,C,S,M,E,CP): ")) ;Prompt for Discipline
(setq ds (getint "
Dimscale Factor: ")) ;Prompt for Dimscale

Whenever I insert a block into my drawing from the Tool Palette, Autocad creates a Text Style and Dimension Style,both named Annotative. This happens on any drawing, with any block.
I can purge them after the block has been inserted. They are NOT nested in the blocks. I have tried recreated the tool. Nothing seems to be working.

Why when making PDF out of DWG, many lines comes out vague?
It can be part of a line/block/text.
It shows only on the screen and not on paper in case I print it.

I run ACAD LT 2010 on a Windows XP machine and also a Vista Laptop. I have tried to print the same drawing on both machines using the DWG to PDF facility with in AutoCAD. The drawing is a third party drawing in as much as I didn't draw it although it is an authentic ACAD DWG.
I get the same message but referring to different fonts - the message reads on the Vista machine:
"Cannot find or create the font "ArialMT". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
On the Windows XP machine it reads:
"Cannot find or create the font "Tahoma". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
The message seems to be generated by Adobe Reader.

I downloaded a titleblock to look at and one of his layers for the lines that made up the bounderies of the titleblock, was placed on the "XID" layer. It was interesting to see that the lines had the properties of Polyline, although to my eyes it looked like a line segment.
what XID stands for in this case?

I have some problem with import SDF to dwg. Geometry in SDF is curve with mixed linear and arc segments.
But the result is not my expected result. (see image below) . All arc segments was imported not correctly.
I'm expecting my data is correctly in the sdf files, but some import mechanism not work properly.
When I make connection through FDO it's work ok.
