AutoCAD .NET :: How To Set Custom File Property Without Opening File
Jun 27, 2012
By Opening File into AutoCAD I can set the Custom Property(dwgname,dwgid,projectname) of the File. But I want to set value of these properties without opening AutoCAD application.
I can set it using:
public void SetAttributes(Hashtable hashTable,String fileOpenPath){
Document Doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.Open(fileOpenPath);
Can we create this Object using any other way??
Database Db = Doc.Database;
DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder DbSib = new DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder();
Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.TransactionManager tm = Db.TransactionManager;
using (Transaction aTran = tm.StartTransaction())
[Code] .......

I have been trying to find a method to extract custom properties from the custom property bag.
I have been able to extract the property value, using the "GetProperty" and the associated "GetValue" method, this method works when I know exactly what property name I am looking for. What do you do when you don't know the property name?
here is my code snippet..
dim myProps as acsmcustompropertybag = mysheet.getcustompropertybag
dim myProp as iacsmcustompropertyvalue = myprops.getproperty("SOMENAME")
dim myPV as string = myProp.GetValue
what I want to do is:
dim myProps as acsmcustompropertybag = mysheet.getcustompropertybag
dim myPN as string = ??????????.tostring
dim myProp as iacsmcustompropertyvalue = myprops.getproperty(myPN)
dim myPV as string = myProp.GetValue

when trying to reopen a file from the "recently used" file list? When I try to click on a file from the list it gives me a message stating "error opening file". I know this will happen if the file has been moved to another location, but the files are in the same place as when I originally opened them. None of the files in the list will open anymore. Is this a pathing issue?

When using Inventor with Vault, we have a problem when categorizing custom content center parts in Vault. In short, custom content center parts are incorrectly categorized as "Content Center" and automatically released - as there is no property that we can use to identify these files.
I need iLogic code to trigger when custom content center files are created/saved, wich adds the following custom iproperty "IsCustomContentCenter=True".

A fellow co-worker accidentally checked the box that says "don't open this file" (or something like that) that appears when a language file is missing upon opening a file from a client. He then also "accidentally" clicked the "perform this action every time" so as the warning window wouldn't appear any more. As a consequence there are now files that we cannot open on that computer. I've searched through system variable lists and come up empty handed.....

I used to be able to just open any image and my copyright info would be inserted into the file data. I guess it was a droplet, "when the file is opened or created then add file info from a xmp file". I still have the xmp file with all the data in but i am unsure how to implement it being automatically opened and added to the file when i create a new one? I thought i could handle it, i assume its a droplet of some sort.

I noticed, that in X4 my file ( in which I'm working) is lost, if I open a new file from the organizer.
In older versions, I could have a lot of pictures on my screen and switch between them.
Is this a "bug" in X4, or is there a way to put this feature back like X2.
Hope the question is clear??

I've got a problem following playing around (Typical, isn't it?). Architecture 2011 allows editing property sets from external objects through the host drawing (i.e. change a room number of a property set attached to a space xref'ed in from another construct). This obviously has to put an editing lock onto the xref to prevent data loss in case somebody else works on the xref in the meantime. This editing lock is removed when I close my host drawing. However, the lock is immediately restored when I re-open the host drawing.
How can I release the xref file lock again after editing the property sets in my host drawing?

I am using AutoCAD 2014 and VB.NET 2010. I am trying to get the value of a custom property and cannot seem to do so.
The old command I used for AutoCAD 2010 was:
ThisDrawing.SummaryInfo.GetCustomByKey(strParameter, strValue)
But this does not work anymore. So I created this sub but it does not seem to work either.
Public
Sub subFindCustomParam(ByVal strUserParameter AsString)
Dim infoDB AsDatabase =Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database
Dim infoBuilder AsDatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder = NewDatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder(infoDB.SummaryInfo)

I want to get the "file.displayName" property of a RasterItem from a file where links are broken.the script :
myItem = app.activeDocument.selection[0];
myItem.file.displayName;
works fine if the RasterItem source file is where the link points at.In my case, the link points to the local drive of another computer, so the "file" property of the RasterItem doesn't exists !!!I don't understand why, because all the informations are in the Links pannel of illustrator.

I'm trying to create all kinds of functions on an external .js file, so I can just call them in Edge multiple times with less coding. The thing is, after importing jQuery and my external Javascript file, some code works, but I get stuck at this part: changing the .css property of a symbol, more specifically, the "font-size" property. My current function is:
function setFont(textid,fontsize,originalWinWidth){ //textid: symbol's name; fontsize: current font size of this symbol; originalWinWidth: window size at the start of the animation
console.log("Set Font:");
//set the original font size
var originalFontSize = Math.round(originalWinWidth/fontsize);
console.log("Original Font Size: " + originalFontSize);
console.log("Text ID: " + textid);
//set the font size using jquery
sym.$(textid).css("font-size", originalFontSize); }
I get an error at the last line, all other parts of the code works.

I used the trail version of 15 to create files. I found a good deal on 14 and bought that. However none of my 15 files will open in 14. Is there a way to change the property of the 15 file to make it open in 14?

I am trying to create a sketched symbol on the fly that has custom properties in it. I am also creating the custom properties on the fly. I need to get the actual expression for the property into the sketched symbol not just a value. I need this so that I can export the drawing as an autocad .dwg that has attributes in it.

I am mainly developing for AutoCAD 2013/2014 how to implement a custom property as a drop-down list using OPM and .NET/C# wrapper. I have successfully created categorized custom properties already and can read/save them in XRecords via the OPM. I further implemented the members for IDynamicEnumProperty (using an ObjectARX DLL) in .NET/C# which are:
// ENUM-PROPERTY INTERFACE METHODS DEFINITIONenum myEnum{ steel = 0, copper, wood};public void GetNumPropertyValues( int numValues ){ numValues = 3;}public void GetPropValueName( int index, out String valueName ){ valueName = Enum.GetName(typeof(myEnum), index);}public void GetPropValueData( int index, ref Object valueName ){ valueName = index;}
And I have implemented the GetCurrentValueData() and SetCurrentValueData() members in my .NET/C# wrapper as per the IDynamicProperty2 interface as following:
public void GetCurrentValueData( Object pUnk, ref Object varData ) {AcadObject obj = pUnk as AcadObject; if ( obj != null ){using ( Active .Document.LockDocument( DocumentLockMode.ProtectedAutoWrite, null, null, true ) ){using ( var tr = Active.Transaction ){ObjectId ObjId = new ObjectId( (IntPtr) obj.ObjectID ); DBObject DbObj = tr.GetObject( ObjId, OpenMode.ForRead ); if ( DbObj != null ){try {if (
[code]....
This code compiles without error but instead of the expected drop-down list the OPM only shows a field where I can enter or edit integer numbers, but there is no drop-down list when clicking on the field....

The SheetSetObject has an inbuilt custom property called "TransmittalSetups", but the property has a different internal object structure compared to other CustomProperty
Ie:
[code]
Dim myPropEnum As IAcSmEnumProperty = myCPB.GetPropertyEnumerator
Dim myPropName As String = Nothing
Dim myPropValue As AcSmCustomPropertyValue = Nothing
myPropEnum.Next(myPropName, myPropValue)
[/code]
myPropName is a string, and in this instance it returns a value of "TransmittalSetups"
myPropValue.GetValue is a string, and it says "System.__ComObject" not a "value".
So my question is, how do identify this object, how to interigate it or assign it to its native object type.
I have tried to cast it to different IAcSmEnum types but without success.

In the parameters window you can right click a value and choose a custom property format.
We always change everything to fraactional instead of decimal.
Is there a way to set this as default?

The company I work for produce drawings for various types of fabrication.
Using Inventor I have a drawing border in which tolerance values change depending on the type of fabrication to be produced. The type of fabrication (0,1,2,or 3) is designated by a custom property entered during part/fab model creation.
This property may change depending on various production factors. The issue I have is how do I get the border to recognize this potential change in fab type and populate the tolerance fields with the necessary information?

I am using some custom property set definitions to add information to spaces. However as I insert spaces I find that I have to go to the extra step to add the property set to the object using the Extended Data tab in the Properties Palette.
It is not a huge deal but sometimes it is forgotten and schedules are not reporting properly, or the display theme is not correct. Although there are tools to quickly add them I would like to know if there is an automatic way to add them while creating the spaces/zones.
On a related note. There is a property set definition that is in each file by default called RoomFinishObjects. Is there a way to purge this? I don't want to attach finishes to my objects. But it seems to be embedded in the file.

My company has a custom property named 'Released date, Type Date.
This date is still empty
I am working on a rule that adds all the custom properties required for the company title block.
This rule can be useful whenever you get a model from a supplier.
I can add a custom property date using the following
Dim oDoc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim customPropertySet As PropertySet = oDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")
Try
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Released Date") = iProperties.Value("Custom", "Released Date")
Catch
[Code]...
This code works but sets the released date to Now.
But the release date needs to remain blank when adding.
I tried to make the value Null but I get the error:
"Value of type 'System.DBNull' cannot be converted to 'Date'."
Is there a way to keep a custom property date blank?

I FINALLY decided to get my head around the Sheet Set Manager (kudos to Kate Morrical's video series).
I understand the need to create custom properties, and I can see that you can either "add" or "delete" custom properties, but is there any way to CHANGE the property after it's been defined?
For example, if I create a custom property complete with a default value, but discover later that I made a spelling mistake (eg. "Darwn By" instead of "Drawn By"), is there any way to MODIFY it?

I'm tasked with setting up a new dwt file to be used along with the Sheet Set Manager.
I've got as far as adding in my own custom properties at both the Sheet Set level (things like project name, site name, etc.), and at the Sheet level (drawing title).
But more specifically, at the Sheet Level, I want to be able to facilitate having a multi-line drawing title. Things start to get a little cloudy.
In order to be able to control where the line breaks are, I've simply created 5 fields (3 for an odd number of lines, 2 for even), and I want to set their Default Value so they don't display anything, i.e. a space or blank of some kind, instead of the four dots. So when I want to add the title I go to the Sheet properties and change the value.
I thought it'd be as simple as adding the ASCII code for a space (U+00A0) into the Default Value, but that seems to display the text U+00A0 instead of the space.

I'm trying to see if I can write a rule that will link a custom property at the part level in a template and have it update when I copy the part and drawing to a new design. Below is the formula I'm using and it works in the original files but when I use Design Assistant to create a copy for a new design, this formula will not update.
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Title")=Parameter("Bearing_#01.ipt.Build_Title")
