I use AutoCAD 2012 .NET API to add my custom control to palette, but this palette changes size of my control and all its children - they become bigger than in Visual Studio designer.
Why this happens?
Is there any solution?
Will WPF controls be bigger in palettes too?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have developed a C# winforms app with RealDWG SDK. When I close my form I get the "App has stopped working" error below. I've added in some Dispose methods to see if that was the issue, but I still get the error.
I added a dispose method to my HostApplication class and I called my Winform dispose method. I thought that the error was caused by unfinished RealDWG business at the Form Closing event.I am using RealDWG 2013, Visual Studio 2010 SP1, Windows 7 64-bit. I also have AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 installed.
I know that AutoCAD and RealDWG both use acdb19.dll. My app contains 6 classes with around 1000 lines of code on each class, so to paste in my code would be impossible. Here is my code structure.
I start by implementing a HostApplicationService Class (MyHost.cs)
Then I call my Windows Form. (MainForm.cs)
From my form I collect object data from a SqlDatabase.
Once the data is acquired, I send the data to a Class that handles my AutoCAD classes. (AutoCAD.cs)
In this class I create my RealDWG Database.
Next I pass the database to various IDisposable classes that perform AutoCAD actions.
I.E, CreateTitleBlock() CreateLayers(), DrawShape(); etc..
Everything works great, except when I go to close the app, I get the error. I dispose everything I can think of right before exiting.
I've tried:
this.Close();
Application.Exit();
How to dispose the app or close it cleanly?
Here is the error....

The controls that used to appear on the workspace after the pattern fill tool is selected are no longer accessible. I don't know the name of this control, but it has handles allowing a pattern fill to be re-sized and rotated within an object.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI had my Layer Properties Manager and Properties pallets docked to the left side, and had the Layer Property Manager pop out at a specific height-(tall enough only to show the 10 layers in my drawings) so as to still be able to view most of the screen. Now, the palettes are 'locked' in height- (anchored to the left, but full window height), and I can not re-size it unless I un-dock...but when I re-dock, it goes back to full window height. Does that make sense?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I control the width of a palette?
ps = New PaletteSet("MyPalette")
ps.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(164, 266)
ps.MinimumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(215, 150)
ps.TitleBarLocation = PaletteSetTitleBarLocation.Left
For some reason changing the Size and MinimumSize doesn't seem to have any impact.
Also..I've been basing a project on the width it allows me but on a lower resolution screen it loads cutting off the right hand segments of the controls.
n CS3 I could change the size of thumbnails to be large, but in CS5 it only allows me to do that from the upper bar (left side top). I can barely see the brush imags on the palette (right side). How do I change them also? Here are the two screenshots showing how dramatically different the sizes are. In CS3 I could adjust them with the down arrow on the palette, but that option is not available on CS5. (See 3rd and 4th screenshot of cs3 versus cs5.) CS3 has "large thumbnail option).
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy work bought me a huge new Thunderbolt monitor yesterday, so I took advantage of the real estate and expanded my Layers palette to be very tall, and along with several other adjustments, saved this out as a custom workspace. Today though I am working only on a laptop offsite with no Thunderbolt and the bottom of the Layers palette is offscreen where I can't get to it. I know if I change workspaces to one of the Adobe presets it will give me a standard size Layers palette, but if possible I would like to work within my custom workspace and just change the height of the palette.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat the maximum size xml file one can use when making data driven graphics in Illustrator?
I can successfully batch when I load a single variable library with about 100 datasets at one time but anything much larger than that in the same xml format gives me a “the incoming variable library is invalid” error. Elsewhere on this discussion forum I have seen answers say there is no limit to the size of the XML file. [URL]..... But my experience with Illustrator CS5 says otherwise.
1. If there is a maximum size either in file size, number of datasets, or number of variables/values, what the limit is.
2. I still need to create thousands of the final document I am creating - if the limit is close to 100 and I need to create many thousands - scripting or other methods to get this done?

Is there a generic programmable input box for the AutoCAD Ribbon?
My LT 2012 for Mac does not show a tool for "display all layers" in the layer pallet. I've fished around for some option to add this tool or expand the upper row of existing tools, but can't seem to find it. Does this feature exist in LT for Mac? If so, any guidance on how to make this tool active? Right now, I have to select all layers in the panel and then click the display button of one to change all selected, but I notice in tutorials for Windows based versions there is an icon for this function.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a routine that uses a windows form to gather data from the user. For a lot of this I need info for the Left side & the Right side. I have pretty much finished writing the code to take care of the Right side. I have 40 properties now all with "Right" in their names in anticipation of needing corresponding "Left" ones. I have numerous textboxes, checkboxes, & radio buttons on the form along with various input validation methods used to set these 40 properties.
I could just copy all of this code & replace "Right" with "Left", but there are about 500 lines of code (hard to tell since I use a lot of white space), and that seems rather inefficient, especially if something needs to change.
I'm starting to think that maybe I should develop this into one custom control that could be used for both sides. Any alternative ways of dealing 40 right properties & 40 left properties and all that goes behind making those properties work.
I am looking for the location of the setting that controls the background of paperspace. Not the printable area, but the background. See image below.

VB.NET loses me again.
In my VBA program I had a function to read/write an external data file to retain and recall user settings on a form.
The nature of the function was quite simple:
For Each oObject as Control in Me.Controls
If TypeOf oObject is ComboBox
Do my thing
ElseIf etc.
......
end if
Next
This code is almost identical in my VB.NET references, but when I try to run it I find the "Controls.Count" value for the form is only 1 (that object is a Tab control) thus I'm unable to access the individual controls with this code.
There is also a "ControlCollection" object, but this appears as "Nothing". Where should I go from here?
Our office recently upgraded from AutoCAD 2005 to the new version AutoCAD Architecture 2013. I’m having difficulty finding the layer override toolbar for the lines. I have found that I can change the color and/or line type of an line in the properties dialog box but in AutoCAD 2005 there was a toolbar specifically assigned for the color, line type and line weight of a line. Dose that toolbar still exist in 2013 or do they control this in another location.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow do we use Vault with an outside vendor that controls a large ‘master layout’ directory of AutoCAD drawings that is given to us each week by way of FTP? How do we update the files in vault without having to check out dozens of files or folders then copy the new files (which often have missing xrefs that have to be fixed before Vault will accept them) into the working directory then check back in the files. This is way too time consuming and complicated to do on a weekly basis.
The simplest procedure we can think of looks like this:
1) Download new set of drawings.
2) Open these drawings in AutoCAD reference manager to fix/remove broken xrefs so Vault will accept them.
3) Check out the entire folder that needs to be updated from Vault
4) Paste the new drawings over the drawings in MyDocsVaultVendor
5) Check all the drawings in through Vault, solving any vaulting issues that may have been missed in the reference manager.

When opening a parcel (xml) report created from AutoCAD Civil3D 2012, Internet Explorer 10 displays message stating "internet explorer restricted this webpage from running scripts or activex controls."
In Internet Explorer 9, we would previously just click "allow blocked content" and the General Legal Description dialogue box would work correctly, collapse, expand, show information when buttons are clicked, etc. The attached file does function properly with IE9, but not IE10.
After upgrading to IE10, the General Legal Description Dialogue box will not collapse, expand, the dropdown buttons will not function properly, and information is not displayed correctly after clicking "allow blocked content"
I am assuming there is a new security feature in IE10 that will not allow the script/activex control to function properly in the .html file that was created. I have reduced Security levels in IE10, and also changed settings under Tools > internet options > advanced > checked boxes: "allow active content from CDs to run on My Computer," "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer," and "Allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid." and restarted computer. This did not change the issue as stated above. I have also opened the html file in IE 10 64-bit and firefox, and still get the same results.
Attached is the file I am troubleshooting with. I have changed the file extension to .txt. If you download the file, just change it back to .html extension.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThe same keys seem to be used to move the viewport camera, but the behavior of the viewport camera seems to have changed. For example, press Z to focus on an object, middle-drag the camera off to the side in one direction, and alt+middle-dragging used to just rotate the viewport camera around a new focus point. Now, it's almost like the viewport camera is getting swung around on a rope around the original focus point.
How can I change it back to the original way?
