I have a .NET plugin that loads an ArcSDE geodatabase layer programmatically using AcMapMap.LoadLayer(layerFilepath). I have been trying to programmatically remove the layer from the Task Pane using AcMapMap.GetLayers().Remove(layer), but this function is returning 'false' and is not removing the layer.
View 7 Repliesi can access the General layer properties thru the api (circled in green on image). how can i programmatically access the Attributes (circled in red). is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn C# I noticed that when I loop through the LayerTableRecords in the LayerTable some of the layers in the drawing do not show up. If I look at the layers in the UI it shows the missing layers with a grey icon for their status while the ones that it does detect have a blue icon for their status. The status has to do with which layers that the drawing believes are in use. In the UI you can press a refresh button and this will fix the problem. I want to know how I can fix this through the .NET API, COM API, or command line.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am using MAP3D 2012 and have the following query. Under Task Pane and Display Manager I have added drawing data to a drawing layer. Added Style>Text and selected the Object data I want to have displayed (e.g. drawing number).
Since the drawing is going to be accessed also by users with a simple AutoCAD version I want to copy paste the text from display Manager to a Layer In layer Properties Management.
However, every time I create a new layer and copy paste the text does not appear or carry through.
In this particular drawing I have a layer I can see in my Layers Properties Manager but I cannot find in my drawing and it will not let me remove it.
this is a record of what I have just done:

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?
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?
I´m having a problem with the Inventor 2012 Task Scheduler. I´ve done a couple of migration tasks over the last 2 months, actually quite some big tasks on our Vault Server.
Now I´m getting no more access to the application, it´s either showing a message that the server is busy and not responding or the application starts up and sits for a minute in the task bar and then opens up but still I can´t click any menus or create a report to control the tasks I've done earlier.
But I need to check the last couple of tasks to see which files have been successfully migrated and which are not. I know that I can view the logfiles manually but that still leaves me with no more tasks that I need to run to fix our database and Inventor files.
Let the application run with administrator rights doesn't work either. What else could be done to get the task scheduler back up running?
My task scheduler crashes as soon as I dbl click on it, does not even go to main window. Is there a way to only reinstall this part of INV Suite.

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.
Is there a way by which I can run a vba - macro over all the file in a folder using Task scheduler.

can remove 1 pixel from all around the layer using ctrl + something, but I cant remember which book it was, and I cant find info on this online.
This feature is really handy when you are cutting a piece out of a picture with busy background.
I want to automate the check in of design files to Vault on each PC, prior to running workspace sync (Vault) which does have command line support.
I know you can schedule tasks within the Inventor Task scheduler, but has task scheduled the Inventor Task Scheduler? I suppose in theory you could schedule the launch of Inventor Task scheduler via the Windows one? or is there any need? If the Inventor Task scheduler isn't running, but a task has been scheduled, will it execute the program itself?
In 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a task to import (convert) a specified folder of MDT files using a specified ini file to ignore the layout drawings (tests resulted in near-useless idws with most missing drawing views - mainly due to our ignorance in creating MDT drawings). I specified a subfolder as the destination for the converted ipt files. After the task runs, the ipt files appear in the main folder (where I did not want them), while the destination folder has files with the names of <original part number>.dwg.ipt. The ipt and dwg.ipt files appear identical and have the same feature tree.
A typical entry in the Import.txt file is:
22926.dwg Get Translator Success ...InventorConvert MDT Files
dwg 22926.dwg Open Success ...InventorConvert MDT Files
dwg 22926.dwg Import Success ...InventorConvert MDT FilesInventor parts converted from MDT files22926.dwg.ipt
dwg 22926.dwg Close Success ...InventorConvert MDT Files
So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. It appears to be mainly working, but it will require cutting/pasting/deleting I wasn't expecting. The main goal here is to create ipt files that our CAM system can (we hope) work directly with, as they dumped the MDT translators a while back.

I am trying to add geometry programatically to a duct fitting. This is because the content builder is incapable of correctly building some types of fittings. I found some old code from an Autodesk University class that shows how to add geometry to a AEC object. I have modified it a little to be able to work with a duct fitting but it does not work. The code compiles fine and runs fine without any errors. The geometry is just not added.
