I am trying to open a drawing file programmatically(automatically).
So for example.
If I have a file name "test.dwg" and run some custom command like 'openfile", AutoCAD opens "test.dwg" without any prompt.
The following code DOESN'T do the job I want.
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute("OPEN", true, false, true)
The problem is I have to hit enter after the above code is run.
Has this functionality been removed in the 2011 API. What worked fine in 2010 now throws an "Error Decrypting Data" error on trying to open a drawing created with an educational version. These are student files that we are examining with an external marking program. The application can open non-educational versions without issue.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs an engineering company we have started to convert hundreds of our drawings from AutoCAD to PDF using a batch utility.
However every file that is converted into a PDF file is opened by a PDF Viewer. We want to prevent this.
I opened my *.pc3 file and removed the check from the appropriate box. See below
I press OK, then save the file and close. However when I reopen the file, I see the box for Openining in PDF Viewer has been rechecked. No matter what I do, I cannot permanently remove the check from this box.
I'm looking for a way to programmatically check if a dll file is a AutoCAD plug-in, preferably getting the version too.The only thing I can think of is using
System.Reflection.Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad()
to load the dll, search thru its references looking for Acad-specific (acdbmgd etc.) get the reference version, compare it to a list....
We have a bunch of dwg files. The requirement is to extract a specific list of attributes from the layers within CAD to a csv file. We are currently manually opening the dwg using AutoCAD and exporting the attributes. This has been time consuming and we need a faster process.
What options do I have to programmtically extract them?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I choose Open Drawing and the window pops up, it would be nice if the full path name of the file showed up on the bar where it shows the file name (see attachment). As it is I can't tell if this file is on my c drive or my back-up drive.
The individual drawings show the full path name once they're open, can the same be achieved with the Open Drawing window?

View 6 Replies View Relatedif I open a drawing with DocumentManager.Open("drawing.dwg", false) and it is already open (or the user has no rights to write to it), the drawing is opened in READONLY mode without warning.
Is there way to check if DocumentManager.Open("drawing.dwg", false) will open the drawing normal or READONLY?
How do I get my Sheet Set Manager to open up each time I open a CAD drawing? I turned it off and can't remember how to turn it back on. I use command SSautoopen, set to 1 but doesn't alway work. Sometimes if I close AutoCad and reopen it I can got to drop down menu and click on .dst extension and it will open but if I close out of it it won't open again unless I restart AutoCAD. I thought I used a command from the Express Tool menu but can't find it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded multi-batch as someone here said they like it for batch plotting. Once installed, however, it has changed a setting in AutoCAD. I can no longer open more than one drawing at a time. If I have a drawing open and try to open another drawing it asks me if I want to save the current open drawing.
I can not close a drawing either without exiting AutoCAD or trying to open another drawing. I un-installed multi-batch but it did not fix the problem.
Once I have the dwg open how do I get to the database?
Dim AcadApp As Object = Nothing Dim AcadDoc As Object = Nothing Try AcadApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application.18") Catch ex As Exception AcadApp = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application.18") End Try AcadApp.Visible = False Try AcadDoc = AcadApp.Documents.Open("C:UsersPAULDesktopB-03-J-H135.dwg", True) Catch ex As Exception Exit Sub End Try Dim MyDb As Database = AcadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database

I'm not finding any way to add a profile to an alignment using .net api.
Is com the only way?

I'd hoped that I could change the name of a part document like I did with sketches, simply assignment:
BSTR bstrName ;pPartDoc->get_FullDocumentName (&bstrName) ;wprintf (L"
Full document name was %s
",wchar_t(bstrName)) ;pPartDoc->FullDocumentName = L"Whatever" ;
But the compiler complains about no put method on that last line.How do I change the name of a Part Document programatically?
I have a .NET plugin that loads an ArcSDE geodatabase layer programmatically using AcMapMap.LoadLayer(layerFilepath).

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn C3D (2012 or 2013), the Pipe Properties Dialog reports "Hydraulic Properties" of a pipe section. Through .Net (C#), I can access part data such as Hydraulic gradient etc but I cannot seem to find any reference to three members I see on the mentioned dialog aka "Flow Rate", "Junction loss" and "Return period".
I have "fudged" a term "Flow Rate" into the pipe part parameter definition file (AeccPartParamCfg.xml) and can access that programmatically but I think this "Flow Rate" in the Pipe Properties Dialog" is part of the Auotcad database and I cannot seem to find a route to get hold of it.
I am trying to use iLogic to programatically create virtual components in an assembly. These components will by used as iProperty "buckets" to hold Machine Center specific information to be exported to production planning software. This information is hierarchical in nature and cannot be (conveniently) stored in the assembly iproperties directly.
