AutoCAD .NET :: Retrieve Command Names From ARX File
Nov 4, 2012
I'm looking for a way of retrieving command names defined in an arx/dbx file, and doing it from an external process (i.e. without loading the file into AutoCAD).Ditto for checking the Acad version the arx was compiled for.
I have a parent directory with x-amount of folders contained inside. I say X-amount because I would like to keep adding or deleting folders as time progresses. I want the folders contained within this parent directory do be read into a lisp variable and then be printed to the command prompt till every folder is displayed by name, then the loop may stop.
I accidentally included a file rename when I just imported a batch of several hundred pictures. I violated a rule that I teach my own Lightroom students, and that is to look carefully at the import panel choices before proceeding. Â How can I correct this so that the files are named as they originally were? I know how to easily fix the filenames in Windows (using a tool called BulkRename, for example), but then I'd have to "find" each image one-by-one and correctly point to the renamed version. I tried selecting all the images and then using F2 to rename, but none of the templates allow deleting a portion of the filename. Â P.S. Here is an example of what I mean: Â ON CARD: IMG_0001.NEF ... IMG_0300.NEF Â WHAT I RENAMED TO ACCIDENTALLY:
IMG_0001 {shot by John Doe}.NEF ... IMG_0300 {shot by John Doe}.NEF
is possible to retrieve the information of the reference in the iam file without open the file in session ? Opening with notepad the iam file, at the end of file, the references is contains in the planar text.
Is possible to retrieve documentation for this request ?
How can I retrieve a block from DWG file using Objectarx SDK.Lets say I have a cinema hall design with a lot of chairs and I am using a blcok named chair to design it. Now I want to retrive this blocks and their positions. Is it possible?
I need to save a drawing file and give it the name of my desire using a single command, I don't want to issue "saveas" and then specify the name in the file name prompt. This problem is has been faced when I was using ScriptPro and I couldn't succeeded to do that. Hence I need to know if it is feasible to do the stuff using a single command. It will be preferred if I can choose the location to save the file also rather than save the file to the default location.
I would like to be able to retreive data from a sepcified cell, in a specified worksheet, from an excel file.
I don't have any clue how to connect to an excel file and read the data. Most seems to think you already had an understanding but I'm starting from the beginning.
Using (setq Filetab (vla-get-files (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))))(vlax-dump-object Filetab) returns most pathname as specified under Options. However, the Action Recorder path is missing. How do I retrieve this path?
I'm in the process of creating 3D points (as an overlay) on some laser scanned data (using RiScan, it's just 3d dimensional data, with a northing, easting and RL) and unfortunately the only export option is to export to .dxf... Which is fine but when I export, the information has the point ID as the layer name.
I am aiming at getting this data into another program to analyse and it needs the point ID or name to be my annotation, as opposed to the layer.
So what I need is a way of converting the names of each individual points layer, to the point ID.
when I publish to PDF, CAD automatically names the PDF file as the drawing name and then the tab name eg, Radome Lighting Mounts - 22-095 with the Radome Lighting Mounts being the drawing name and 22-095 being the name of the layout tab.
My question is, are you able to reverse this so that the file name of the PDF reads 22-095 - Radome Lighting Mounts?
1) Is it possible to extract data from dwf file in autocad 2012?
2)I need to extract blockNames from dwg file but i dont know how to extract blackNames because text in dwg file may change but pattern will remain same.
I'm trying to get the filenames of some drawings in a folder. I've got the following code, but it's not working. I get a file count from the line "filecount = objFiles.Count", so it's recognizing "objFiles" as the collection of files in the folder, but everything after that simply does nothing. Oddly, I can change the "If" statement from "<>" to "=", and it still reads the "Then" statement in both cases. However, the FileName is blank.
Dim objFile As FileDialogs    Set objFile = New FileDialogs    objFile.Title = strFolderName    objFile.StartInDir = "C:Documents and Settings"    strFolderName = objFile.ShowOpen  [Code] ...........
Is it possible in Lightroom to automatically append/prepend directory names in the file path into the file name itself? Example:  DirectoryA Sub-directoryB filename.jpg (original file name)  ==>  DirectoryA Sub-directoryB DirectoryA_Sub-directoryB_filename.jpg (concatenated new file name)  If this is not natively possible within Lightroom, any plug-in that delivers this functionality?
I need to export 3dpolylines from C3D 2013 to an ERSI SHP file.
Using the mapexport command I’m able to do this, however, the lines in the shp file don’t retain the layer name and colours that are in the C3D file.
Do I need assign ‘object data’ (or something similar) to the 3D polylines before exporting the shp file.
is there a way of find and replace tab names in one drawing file? one file with six tabs named 001 rev A, 002 rev A etc. i would like to change all the "rev A" to "rev 0" with out going into each tab seperatly and changing them.
I thought I had found the answer to file naming nightmares with the autogenerated sequential numbers in Vault. Â Everything went OK until I renamed some frame generated files with the design assistant and checked those in. Â Vault obviously doesn't look to see if a file name is already in use because it did not go to the next free number, it just blindly continued with the sequence, ignoring the fact that those names were taken.
Is there any way to have Vault check and keep proper count when parts are added or renamed manually? Â Or at least manually set the counter to the next available number?
The preview of the picture still appears when I select it in Photoshop, and even appears for a few seconds in Adobe Bridge before going back to black. But nothing I tried, from restore plug ins to online retrieve systems (that tried to bring back individual layers, only accounting to a single black layer and a bunch of blank ones) worked. I'd really like to get the picture back, or at least a png of it, but I'm at loss for what to try next. I use Cs5.1 64 bits.
I'm trying Frame Generator one last time to design the custom frames we build for our equipment. I've always had problems with getting FG to generate the right part numbers and file names. I have the part numbers figured out, but does Frame Generator still not have a good way to automatically create unique file names for frame members? If no one can get it to automatically generate unique file names, how do you manage all of the duplicate file names generated over time?
I have a data shortcut file where i keep my EG surface that now has File Name.dwg [DS] [DS] [DS] [DS]. What's the deal? Has this managed to morph itself into something it's not. It used to have only one, had two for awhile, and now 4 references to the DS (Datashort cut project folder).
Have I done something wrong here to get these wonky file names, would be nice to see just 1 reference being made to my DS Project folder.
my plot file names don't include the drawing name, only the layout name. it used to include the drawing name. i must have changed something but i don't what.

We are using a title block and it has an attribute field that links to the file name. Now one of our projects is adding the revision to the CAD file name, but it messes up our drawing sheets.
i.e. It was fine when the CAD file name was 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456.dwg and this would display the complete 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456 in the drawing title.
Now we need to do this, the CAD file name, 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456-001002-A1.dwg and we still need to just show 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456 in the title block, striping away the 001002-A1.
I notice that whenever I plot with DWG to PDF.pc3 the filename for the PDF always comes out as:
(.dwg file name)-(paper space name).pdf
Is there any way to change the inputs for this? Let's say for example I wanted AutoCAD to automatically insert a timestamp at the end for me, so that the filename is always:
(.dwg file name)-(paper space name)-(date and time here).pdf
This would keep me better organized and also make it easier for my less computer savvy coworkers to go through old drawings and see changes between drawings. I know I could type it by hand every single time, but why do that if there's a way to have AutoCAD do it for me
I have a text file with a list of image tile names with their bottom left hand easting and northing see attached. I have a lisp that asks for the name of the image then should  insert the image at its coordinate with a predefined scale and rotation but it isn't working so I would like an alternative method to test.
I can no longer change the name of raw files when saving as JPEG. Software will convert to JPEG but only with the same file name. Previously saved files work fine.
i'm currently working on a new website with a friend, we are using Dropout to share the files, he's the coder, and i design. Im using a pc at the moment, and he's on a Mac, when i save my files, they are saved with capital letters, and to upload it in dreamweaver on a Mac they cant have capital letters. So my question is, is it possible to change the file name to .jpg instead of .JPG? And how do i do it?
