AutoCAD .NET :: Read Layers In Active Document From External App?
Jul 22, 2012
I have an external drawing processor and one of the functions is to read the layers in an AutoCAd drawing and if the name matches freeze/thaw it. With modifications over the years I have had it working with 2002 through 2008. Now I'm getting errors. When I tru to use the Interop, I get "Call Rejected by Callee" errors, when I use the
ApplicationServices method to get the application and active document, I getI" Method 'GetEnumerator' in type 'Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.LayerTable' from assembly 'Acdbmgd, Version=18.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an implementation." errors.
Basically for the interop method I use this
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop Public Function GetAcadApp() As AcadApplication Dim progID As String = My.Settings.strAcadProgID Dim acApp As AcadApplication =

I would like to turn off all the existing layers in active document. I have found in developer's guide how to turn off one layer with specified layer name but can not apply it on all layers with any layername.
I tried to get all the Object ID's in layer table and then for each object turn layer off but seems that it does not work.
<CommandMethod("FilterLayers")> _Public Sub FilterLayers()'' Get the current document and databaseDim acDoc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocumentDim acCurDb As Database = acDoc.Database'' Start a transactionUsing acTrans As Transaction = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()'' Open the Layer table for readDim LayerTable As LayerTable = acTrans.GetObject(acCurDb.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForRead)Dim LayerTableRecord As LayerTableRecord = acTrans.GetObject(LayerTable.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite)For Each ObjectId In LayerTableLayerTableRecord.IsOff = TrueNext'' Save the changes and dispose of the transactionacTrans.Commit()End UsingEnd Sub

How can I stop changing active document? I was thinking I could use this, but I don't know how to cancel it in the event handler:
AcadApp.DocumentManager.DocumentToBeActivated += new DocumentCollectionEventHandler(DocumentManager_DocumentToBeActivated);static void DocumentManager_DocumentToBeActivated(object sender, DocumentCollectionEventArgs e){ // Messagebox to ask if user are sure bool AreYouSureYouWantToChangeActiveFile = MessageBox.... if(!AreYouSureYouWantToChangeActiveFile) //cancel change active file somehow...???}

Is there event for change current (active) layer of document?
(it's not Database.ObjectModified - it's not raised).
I tried to do it with binding as:
public void Initialize()
{
var layerList = Application.UIBindings.Collections.Layers;
layerList.PropertyChanged += new PropertyChangedEventHandler(LayerList_PropertyChanged);
And -= in Terminate, but... Autocad 2012 chashed _sometimes_!!!
Impossible to understand when it happened. So I reject this way. Is there other way to handle this event?

I'm trying to change the active document window size with vb.net. This seems like it should be straightforward, but I'm having some trouble. Below is some code that I tried to use which I found on the AutoCAD DevBlog.. I thought I understood how this works, but I can't seem to import the correct references to make it work.
Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument()
Dim docWindow As Window = doc.Window
Dim size As Size = docWindow.Size
docWindow.WindowState = Window.State.Normal
docWindow.Size = New Size(500, 500)

I'm trying to get the value of the Category iproperty of the model on the active drawing sheet. This is not a problem in a single sheet drawing, but I'm not sure how to specifically retrieve the Referenced Document of the Active Sheet in s multi sheet drawing.
Here's what I have:
Option Explicit
Public Sub PartsListFilter()
'set reference to the drawing document
'assumes that a drawing is active
Dim oDraw As DrawingDocument
Set oDraw = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Have been working on a little something and would like to know what units the user is using in their document. Basically what is selected here:
The thing is, no matter what is there (and while all other menus and such use the units) Active Document.unit stubbornly returns inches. Is there a way to get the proper ones using VBA?

Is there a script to convert a layer or layer group to a 32-bit image rather then the entire active document at present that is the only option in Ps 5.x.

I would like to make the active layer name the same as the document name. I know very little about scripting. I found this script:
var idoc = app.activeDocument;var ilayer = idoc.activeLayer;var filename = idoc.name;ilayer.name = filename;
It does almost what I need it to do. except that it also copies the ".ai" in to the layer name. Is there some way to modify this script to have it exclude or delete the file extension?

Apparently, in the CS3 is impossible to do any scripting and using any actions. Can it be done using plugins sdk, without creating a new document? I tried using the functions SetPageSetup and SetCropBox but no effect

I have a form with a combobox and a commandbutton.
All layers in the layermanager must be locked except the active layer chosen in the combobox. I try it with this code but it’s not the right solution.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()Dim layer As AcadLayer'check if all layers are lockedIf layer.Lock = False Thenlayer.Lock = True'make the layer selected in the combobox currentThisDrawing.ActiveLayer = ThisDrawing.Layers.Item(ComboBox1.Text)End SubPrivate Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim layerColl As AcadLayers Dim layer As AcadLayer Dim LayList As String ' all layers locked For Each layer In ThisDrawing.Layers If layer.Lock = False Then layer.Lock = True End IfNext 'fill combobox Set layerColl = ThisDrawing.Layers For Each layer In layerColl ComboBox1.AddItem layer.Name Next End Sub
2. When I choose the for next method to lock all layers (40 layers) it’s very slow.

I´m having som problems to publish a part in to the Content Center. It´s the first time I´m doing this.
The part is made with parameters and is a little bit more complex than a bolt.
The problem is that I got this message: "There are external dependencies found in the document. Please remove the dependencies then proceed with this comand."

Automated AI so much so that it can read instructions from an external source like xml or txt and automatically creates files and folders.
For example we have something like this:
File1
Hello
Font: Myriad
Size: 22
Colour: Pantone 254C
Image 1.jpg (link)
Source: Image1.png (link) clipart1.eps (link)
----------
File2
and so on.
I want AI CS5 to:
1. create an eps File1, create a folder named File1, put File1.eps in it
2. type the text Hello, apply Myriad 22pt and PMS 254 to it, centre it to the artboard
3. Place all jpegs, pngs, eps source files on the artboard and embed them.
4. Save the file as eps legacy version 10, close the file and move to the next file.

I use an external hard drive for my Lightroom images. When I travel I take that external (plus a second identical one for back-up) with me and use my laptop. When I return home, I use that external to view and edit my images on my desktop. Suddenly about 350 images show up as missing or offline when I view that external drive on my desktop. Nothing is seen as offline or missing. What can have happened? I use the same external, the same catalog and do not understand why the images are seen only on one computer and not the other. I am an Apple user but can't see what difference that would make.

Since Edge only has rectangles and ellipses built in as available shapes, how to I/we work with polygon shapes and active mouseover areas INSIDE of these shapes and non-active mouseover areas OUTSIDE of the shapes?
Problem/symptom: when I import a polygon, be it any file format from from Photoshop or SVG from Illustrator, a rectangular border/background (transparent) gets applied, leading to this rectangle defining the mouseover area of the shape - and not the shape itself (be it a star or whatever).
WHAT I WANT: the very shape defines the mouseover area. How do I achieve this?? See examle below:
WHAT I DON'T WANT: how is is now:

I am trying to create a new document with new layers, but paste in an existing floor plan since it's the shell I need to be using. When I copy clip and insert into new file, all the layers import with it. I transferred everything onto 0 layers and went into my layer manager to try and delete the extra layers and it says i cannot delete o, xref dependent, etc. I want to create my own layers, and then assign the lines in the plan myself onto the new layers.

Well, to join the two different parts i have choosen AE software (actually is After Effects CC).Well, as i said the animation and scenario are in a different project, and i have joined both in AE. But the scenario is not always just a landscape. Sometimes is a building that the actor walks on it, so i have (in some way) to put the actor "in" the building, and if i was working with images i would easly solve that problem: select and extract to another layer what i want to be in first place, or to be the landscape. At the same logic, how can i do this in After Effects CC?Can i extract some objects by color as i can do in Photoshop?
2º For storytelling reasons, i would like that , in some moment, everything turns gray , and the actor is colored. but there's more! i would like that the actor leaves a colored path (the path that he is taking in animation). Is there any way that i can do it?
If i cant do it, i have to re-build the entire animation in Cinema4D.

I loved an ability in Photoshop 5 to just drug and drop layer onto different doc tab to paste it. But seems like i cant do this anymore in Photoshop 6. Are the copy/paste and arrange docs the only ways to move layers in to a new location in cs6?

Im currently running photoshop CS6 on windows 8 and when I try and open a file the images come up in the layers but not the actual document.
I know this has already been posted about Photoshop CS5 but I think CS6 is slightly different.
