AutoCAD .NET :: How To Insert Block Not On Drawing In Search Path

Sep 16, 2011

I am trying to insert a block (using .Net) that does not already exist on the drawing.  It is on a network share, which is in the search path.  If I, from the command line insert the block, it finds it ok and inserts it.  But when I do this from .Net code it does not search for the block.  So how do you get it to search for the block and insert it?

Here is a code snippet I'm using to insert the block:

Dim myDwg AsDocument = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
Using myDocLock AsDocumentLock= myDwg.LockDocument()
Using myTrans AsTransaction= myDwg.TransactionManager.StartTransaction
'Open the database for WriteDim myBT AsBlockTable = CType(myDwg.Database.BlockTableId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTable)

[Code]....

AutoCAD .NET :: Insert Block Into Another Open Drawing

Oct 30, 2013

I would like to be able to collect information from a drawing via a sub-form and then insert a block with attributes (populated with collected info) into another open drawing.  The insert operation would be launched from a button on my sub form.

Is this possible?

From the code below I attempted a test to simply select a point from another open drawing but was not successful.  However, once I closed both forms the target drawing file is activated.

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Me.Hide()
Dim docMgr As DocumentCollection = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager
Dim i As Integer = 0
For Each doc As Document In docMgr

AutoCad :: How To Insert A Block Into Drawing Uses Dynamic Blocks

Oct 17, 2011

I am trying to insert a block into a drawing that uses dynamic blocks. I want the block to be associated to the dynamic block, so that when I alter a linear stretch parameter on the dynamic block it moves the other block.

I am probably missing something obvious, but have now googled my mind into a numb state and can't make any more progress.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Insert Lighting Block Into A Drawing

Feb 12, 2012

I have a lighting block I need to insert into a drawing. Who ever drew the block did so upside down (so the top is really the bottom). I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to "rotate" it so that the top is correct. When I rotate the block, it simply keeps the top the top. When I copy and paste it, it stays the same as well. I tried inserting it into a new drawing.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Block Insert Point Is Different On Drawing Than On Xref

May 4, 2012

I have a drawing where I have placed all of my natural gas piping.  I have all of the annotative blocks set to 3/32"=1'-0" and 1/32"=1'-0" scales.  They are both correctly displayed in this drawing. 

When I xref this drawing into another about half of the 1/32" blocks show up correctly.  The other half are shifted to the right off of the plan.  All of the 3/32" blocks show up correctly.

AutoCAD .NET :: Code To Insert A Dynamic Block Into The Current Drawing

Oct 15, 2010

I need simple code to do just one thing, inserting a dynamic block that is stored in a separate file on my computer (like C:/base/b-22) in the drawing that I'm currently using. For example, I have a windows form with a list box with names of many dynamic blocks that are stored on my c drive, I would like to pick a block with a name and upon a click event of a button or other will go get this block from a separate file and insert it in the drawing I'm currently using, and would need to be able to pick the point of where I want the block to go. I'm using autocad 2010 with visual studio 2008- using the new autocad .net language.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Create / Insert Block In Drawing

Sep 26, 2013

take a look at this piece of my LISP-routine.

(command "_.block" pause pause ss "")

where:

ss  -  is a Selection set of some entities

In the rest of code, I don't change the values of initdia, or cmdecho, or whatever else  

I haven't sill understood them that well.The problem is the following:

When My routine executes this line, I am promted for:

1. block name - that's OK

2. insertion point - that's OK

3. then the block-command receives correctly the entities from ss-selection set - that's OK

4. then all the object dissapear! **Problem here**

The block is created... I can insert it in the drawing from the block-data base...

But is there a way to let this block stay in the drawing ? without disappearing?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drawing Land On Site When Xref Or Insert As Block

Jun 24, 2013

I'm using C3D 2013.  I received a survey drawing (unknown version) from a third party.  I tried both xref'ing and inserting as block into my drawing and it was over 7,100' SW from my site.  BUT when I copy from 0,0,0 in his drawing and paste 0,0,0 in my drawing, it lands on my site.  If I xref my drawing into his drawing, it lands on his survey information.  Why doesn't his drawing land on my site when I xref or insert as block?

AutoCAD .NET :: Insert Block From External DWG File / Specify Insert Point By Click Mouse

Apr 2, 2013

I write a program, this program needs to insert some standard illustrations. I made these standard illustrations into different blocks. And I store these blocks in a dwg file. Everytime I need to insert some illustrations, I just click the mouse on the current drawing, I want the illustration inserted. These means the following points:

(1) Import the blocks to the current drawing, if the blocks have already been imported, then do nothing.

(2) Specify the insert point by clicking the mouse, and I want the block's insert point to coincide with the mouse clicking point.

AutoCAD .NET :: Printer Configuration Search Path?

Nov 28, 2012

I need to set the Printer Configuration Search Path and the Plot Style Table Search Path. Currently I am using COM but the issue I have is that I need to run the same application on 2 different machines, one has only Autocad 2010 (xp-32bit), the other has both Autocad 2010 and Autocad 2012(win7-64bit) and I've got some difficulty to have it running.

Can I set those paths without using COM?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sequence For Search Path

Nov 27, 2012

I am having an issue with my assembly grabbing an out of date part. I was wondering what the sequence for the search path Inventor goes thru. I assume it first searches the folder you are in but does it go down, up after that? If there is a part below which way does it go? Is there a possibility it could be grabbing the wrong part if it is not in the same folder?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Xref Search Path

Apr 23, 2012

My computer is not searching for the xrefs correctly. Whenever I switch to another job and try to load an xref, the computer searches under the last job I worked on and nothing else. I have several folders listed as search paths but it just seems to be ignoring them. We never used to have this problem and I cannot figure out what has changed.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Insert Ribbon - Seek Search Bar Leaves With Blank Page

Oct 7, 2012

I updated to Arch. 13 and some of my content (mainly casework) was not working properly, so I deleted it and decided to just re-download the files. Insert ribbon > Seek search bar leaves me with a blank page. I've tried queries: "casework" "ceiling fan" "furnace" "family" "lighting" and "wall."

I've tried getting through via Revit Architecture as well.

I'm in the middle of a design concept rendering for a client... so this caught me completely off-guard.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Get Filename From Outside The Search Path?

Jul 30, 2013

I'm trying to get the file name of a file outside the search path. Obviously (findfile) is not an option. The file location changes with each project so adding a search path is also not an option. I can get the path to the file but i can't seem to figure out how to get the file name. I can also get the first set of characters, as they are constant from project to project, it's just the end of the file name that changes. The file is always a PDF.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Options -> Support File Search Path

May 8, 2012

I have been changing setting in the Options dialog box for many years but have never made any changes directly to the "Working Support File Search Path" because these update automatically to reflect changes i make in the "Support File Search Path."

What is the purpose of these "Working" settings?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Support File Search Path Lost

May 12, 2011

When I migrated to 2012 form 2011, it only migrated a partial list of the support file search locations. So, I reset the ones that were missing and exported out my profile.

Next I saved my workspace to my name and checked the box to "automatically save workspace".

I shut my computer down for the night. When I restarted my computer, then AutoCAD 2012 the missing support paths are missing again. I am not the only one in the CAD department that is having this issue. It is so annoying to have to reset my profile every time I shut my computer down.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Using Multiple Search Path?

I'm using a Lisp which searches a certain folder and then updates all blocks, which are nested in that folder.

My issue is, that I'd like to use more than one folder on different path, where the LISP can search for this files. Is there a way to use multiple search path?

The code I'm using now to search for the blocks is: (setq dir "I:\AutoCAD Blöcke\Template\Support")

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Support File Search Path

Sep 18, 2013

Some of our 64-bit users lose their custom Support File Search Paths.

After reading about it, I saw that I could add them back in by putting

(setenv "ACAD" "S:\Fonts;S:\Acad2007\Hatch_Patterns;S:\Acad2007\Lisp;S:\Acad2007\Simpson\Menu;”)

at the end of acad2013.lsp.

1.  However, I get malformed string on input error in AutoCAD.

2.  My other question is do I need to list only the custom paths or all of the built-in paths as well?
