I have modeless dialog. On dialog I have button on which user clicks, when he wants to pick insertion point. Problem is when I exit dialog the command line is still in command GetPoint (doesn't show usual Command.My code at the moment is:
// this.Visible = false;
AppServ.Document adoc = AppServ.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
AppServ.DocumentLock dl = adoc.LockDocument();
Editor ed = adoc.Editor;
using (ed.StartUserInteraction(this))

Is 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.)
I 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.
How do I get an onscreen point after/ during a VB.net dialog box is launched (as example like with Hatch add pick points. I would like to create button for this in a vb.net dialog box?
I have a VBA to insert a block I ask the user for an insertion point GETPOINT. Then I allow the user to select an angle. GETANGLE starting with the insertion point. If the user picks a point or enters a number there is no problem.
However if the user hits enter it crashes saying invalid input. What I want to happen that if enter happens it accepts it as an angle of 0.
I have drawn some doors and saved them as blocks. Whenever I insert one or another, the door itself is far away from the insertion point. How can I modify this?
I've been going through some examples on [URL] to create polylines and i've managed to make some code run. One thing that I can't seem to find information on though, is how to use the default AutoCAD command line options in my code. For instance, I would like to be able to prompt the user whether they would like to snap the polyline to an insertion point, everytime they create a new verticie.
Below is some example code from the site that i'm working from:
I create a block where coordinate 0,0 is my base/insertion point (which is established in an orientation that is to the lower-left of my blocks line work). In a new drawing I insert that block and specify coordinate 0,0 as my insert point. Instead of my insertion point being in the lower left it is in the upper right. I run into this in new version and old version drawings.
When editing multileader text, the insertion point changes. How do I stop this? I have several multileaders with their insertion points aligned together (left justified notes) but if I edit any text, the multileader jumps to a new position and is no longer aligned with the other notes.
Currently, I have the base or insertion point of some of my blocks in an undesirable spot and I would like to move it. When I insert a drawing or block I have difficulty in placement due to a poor choice in the drawing or block I am trying to insert.
I created a dynamic block with a polar stretch. I insert the block, then have to select the grip to rotate/stretch it. Can it be inserted and then rotated/stretched all in one action? The insertion point is at one of the line and the polar stretch grip is at the other end.
know if there is a command which joins GetEnttiy() and GetPoint() functions. At the moment I'm using both commands one after another. Result I want would be one command where you can choose entity or select insertion point.
When i edit the sketched symbol "Work Stages", i copy the line which the the arrow points at, but with it goes the green insertion point, and i can't delete it.
How to create a sub-assembly with an insertion point parameter using Sub-assembly composer.
like this one below. I found this under the following sub-assembly. All I want is , when the user inserting the sub-assembly they may need to go on both the sides attached.
Example:
So the user should be able to select from the dropdown if the insertion point is 1 or 2. Before inserting.
When I select a block, all points contained in the block are shown. How do I turn this off? I want to select the block and have only the insertion point showing.
My boss gave me a drawing to make some changes on a particular block; however, every time I try to insert the block, it always insert the block in Paper Space even though I'm in Model Space.
Is there any way to change that insertion point? I want to insert the block in Model not in PS...
The default Insertion Point of a part list is its" range box.maxpoint",but I need to make its "rangebox.minpoint" as its InsertionPoint . My code to insert the part list is as follows :
I have tried using the code " oPartsList.RangeBox.MinPoint.InsertionPoint = True" , imitating "oSketchLines(1).EndSketchPoint.InsertionPoint = True" ,but without luck .
How can I find a block with a specific name and get what the coordinates are? What we have is our Bill of Material is attributed blocks. I am attempting to change the first one. Well all of the lines that list the parts are seperate blocks with the same name. Now the Top Line of the Bill of Material is a different named block. If I can find the coordinates of this block I can then select the first line to do what I need to.

Sometimes I have MLeader text without Mleaders (ie, I remove the leader arm using MLEADEREDIT). Then when I go to edit this 'floating note', the base point moves:
In this screenshot, I've just finished editing the text. Note that I added in the diagonal line at the current insertion point of the Mleader text (top right):
Then, after I click outside the Mleader box, the text moves:
THis happens only with right-aligned MLeaders, and keeps happening, ie if I edit this text again and close it again, it will move again.
I've been using Frame Generator for at least 4 years and have not seen this issue before. Maybe I "bumped" a setting somewhere or a number changed in a default setting somehow, but lately when I insert a square tube frame piece into an assembly, it seems to be not accurate in it's placement.
Example: If I make a simple cube part that measures 28.0" wide and
Insert some frame generated square tubing on the edges of the cube, the frame measures 27.999999992 in - slightly off from where I inserted it. This seems to repeat without fail in every new assembly.

I have several existing block definitions and need to change the insertion point. Also, when creating a new block in the Block Editor, how do I define the insertion point?
We have several AutoCAD drawings with hundreds of block references inserted with imprecise coordinates. Now we need to dimension all elements and need to correct these positions.
I am searching for a routine to round these positions up or down towards a 5mm precision so I don't have to manually move every single block element.
Is there any way to automate the task or do you know any workaround (like inserting the elements into a drawing with poorer unit precision settings)?
I've have code to test if the insertion point is within a closed polygon. But prior to testing the insertion point I use ssget to trim the selection set initially..
this requires that the whole Crossing Polygon is visible, so I do a zoom first. This requires time. Is there a way I can do this that does not require the zoom?
We have been modifying a trim-around-block routine to have as few clicks as possible and though it feels like we'd be able to have the line to be broken auto-selected based off of the insertionpoint that was set as a variable.
;(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE")))) ; limited to Polylines ; (while (> (sslength ss) 0) ; as long as there's anything in [or remaining in] the selection set)) ; (setq ent (ssname ss 0) ; paramcount 1 ; ) ; first entity in [or remaining in] the selection set paramcount 1); end setq
are about the closest snippets of code that we've managed to find but neither of these are working.
How we can force the program to break the line without the user having to select the line (because they will have already selected the insertpoint, and using osnap nearest would find the line that requires breaking)
