AutoCAD .NET :: Retrieve Attributes Without User Input
Sep 14, 2012
I develop addins for Inventor primarily, so the AutoCAD api is very new to me. I'm working in AutoCAD 2010 and visual studio 2012.
I've looked at many posts for getting block attributes, but they either seem to assume I already have the Blockreference, or they give a prompt to the user. I'm hoping to avoid both of those.
I know the info I need is inside of a blockTable by the name of "DET".
Database acCurDb = openDoc.Database;using (Transaction acTrans = CurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { //How can I access the blockreference in here which corresponds to the blockTable "DET"? }

Any way to trap when the user hits the escape key without a user input function. The idea is to loop infinitely and perform some analysis until the user hits the escape key.
I suppose I could do the same thing with a form but I would not.

I'm looking for the function to retrieve User Profile from LR 4.2, it's because I'm using some LTM or non-6bit Lens. If I can get User Profile, then I know what kind of Lens I used for the picture.

I have a form with some textbox on it, which should be filled in with imperial dimension. Like foot and inch. Users right now complain about it is not user friendly ,to put data in form, and honestly they are right. I didn't a good job .
Some people like to put vetting in inch and then by the time textbox lost it focus it should automatically convert data to feet-inch format. Some other user like to put decimal I have to be able to should them in 1/8 inch.
some user like to use space as separator between foot and inch and some other like to use dash.
Bottom line I stocked. Is there any function for this in autocad ?
when I look at my code I just struggled with pure string. I thought maybe there is something in autocad which give developer this option. Like the way we input dimension in command prompt.

I have got a problem about getting user input. In a function i am first getting a selection from the user by editor.getselection(...)
then i show a palette set with my user control in the same function. everything is fine so far.
but after showing paletteset i try to get a string from the user by editor.getstring(...) in the same function but statement continues as i never request it. when i check the PromptResult status it is equal to cancel.
i mean
Transaction acTrans = null;
Document acDoc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Database acCurDb = acDoc.Database;
acDocLock = acDoc.LockDocument();
using (acDocLock)
[code].........
i tried to lock the document but it doesnt work either. when i comment out "showpalette(true)" it works correctly. i realized that if my document window s state is not WindowState.Maximized then my code works just fine but if it is WindowState.Maximized it does not work.

;;;PROMPT USER FOR BLOCK NAME HERE
(setq userinBLKNAME (getstring "
Please type in the block name shown in the allrevblocks - ex: IFCC4:"))
;;;INSERT BLOCK BASED ON BLOCK NAME PROVIDED HERE
(command "-insert" "B:\CAD\REVBLOCKS\IFC\"USERINBLKNAME PAUSE "1" "" "")

I've been trying to append a user input by adding this text "ABC" to the front of it. How can I do that?
(setq NUMX (getstring "
Please specify NUMBER:")); INPUT NUMBER 123 HERE
(SETQ NUMXX (append '(ABC) NUMX))
So that NUMXX now equals ABC123.

I made a toolbar button with the macros @, and tried also @ pause.
I need this in order to shorten the procedure for relative coordinate input, but, after pressing the button the last point is entered and i cannot continue entering values like in the manual input at the command like, like: @5,5
Even if i use the "@ pause " sequence it doesn't work.
How to wait for user input?

I want to write a very simple AutoLISP program to scale selected objects by a factor of (1/25.4). How to I get the program to pause and allow the user to select the base point? I know that "~" will bring up a selection window, but what is the character that will allow point selection (in this context)? While we're at it, what is the operator that would trigger a pause and allow user command line input?

Is there a way to have an alert box pop up at a certain point in the code which gives the user a chance to cancel the LISP program and not proceed any further?

I am trying to locate a .wdp file with minimal user input. this is what I have so far
;All file saved in this folder
(setq filedir "I://PROJECTS//")
;User will put the following in, but there might be a small description after 915-01. That is why I have a wildcard
(setq filename (strcat "915-01*"))
; string together everything
(setq nextlevel (strcat filedir "JOB " filename "*" "//ACAD"))
;; the final path should look something like this:
I://Projects// JOB 915-01(something here... could be anything or nothing)//ACAD//915-01(something else could be here as well).wdp
;set file extension
(setq fileext ".wdp")
; search files
(setq wdp_file (vl-directory-files nextlevel (strcat filename "*" fileext)))
I am confused on where and when I can use wildcards for searching directories.

I want to change 'mutil value select" to "custom value input" in ilogic user parameters. something like this:
if condition A then
multivalue.setlist("length", 1,2,3,4,5)
else
(users can enter any value they want, how can i remove the list first and set it to custom value input?)

Currently have an iLogic rule in my drawing template that base on user input brings up the Drawing View dialog box (as though you click on base view). I want to know if there is some coding I can do to control or handle what happens if the user clicks the cancel command inside this dialog box. Possibly show a message box. Or even run another rule after the cancel button has been clicked?

I have a list function that asks for the user to pick points when it is run. It looks something like this (foo arg1 arg2) When invoked it asks the user to pick points and press enter when done It.
Instead of getting the points from the user i want to pass it a list of pre-defined points. The code cannot be changed so I must use it as is.Is this possible, if so how can it be done?

I'm trying to build an action that makes thumbnails out of images and adds a few effects, but I want it to let me select what area of the image it takes the thumbnail from and making that thumbnail size instead of shrinking the whole thing to 100x100 and losing all the detail. Any suggestions?

Create a Form that can be sent to a customer as an email attachment. The customer must be able to Save and Open the Form with software that is available on most Windows computers. The customer should then be able to enter the requested information in the Form, Save the Form and then attach it to an email and return it to the sender.
I could achieve the above using MS Word. But it is a real pain to layout a complex Form using Word. I would much prefer to do this using DP6 as it is considerably easier to lay the Form out.
But... I simply cannot see a DP6 Export file-format that I could use to achieve this result.

I have this working without the prompt, if I under manually the margin via var margin = 10; it works. it also seems to return correctly when I print what the input from the user is, but it doesn't seem to want to work and freezes.
it says "point value expected"
//Helper functions
function print(i) {
if(i == "object"){
print("you are trying to printObject, use printObj(); function");
}
else {
$.write(i+"

I'm inquiring whether or not it is possible for Revit ceilings to be customized by the input of a user regarding the shapes and sizes without using a .pat file. Almost like a parametric object with predefined limitations. For example: a rectangular ceiling tile 'x' can be from 6 inches to 10 feet and side 'y' can be from 6 inches to 6 feet. So someone can select the ceiling type and actually input what size 'x' and 'y' they'd like while staying within those limitations.

My need is to create up to 50 points from the same origin in a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system but I’d also like to have a labels for each point that show up in the feature tree.
Are there Inventor 2013 plugin (i.e., add-on, 3rd party, AP) to convert a list 3D Cartesian coordinate system locations (i.e., points) to Inventor to work points(x, y, z)?
I found that I cannot create 3D points in the assembly. Is this correct? I did find that an Inventor part may be used to create a 3D sketch that creates points in 3D space. In the past few days, I found two ways to create 3D points within a iPRT; the batch way uses an Excel file but it then does not allow me to name the points in the feature tree. The second way is to create them one at a time but that take way too much time.

I am UNABLE to follow a tutorial on how to make a repeatable pattern using 'texture transfer' on some fire I want to make into a pattern!!! every time I select the area I want to use and the 'input map' and paste as new image and I tell Resynthesizer to use that image it ALWAYS errors out as "The Input Map Should Be The Same Size As The Input Texture Image" according to the tutorial another person gave me on this forum he said NOTHING about being the same size!!! in fact, his selection was SMALLER than the actual image that he was using Resynthesizer on!!!

After getting Vault installed on our server and successfully setting up users and connections, I used the Library Transfer Guide to move our Content Center (including custom) to the Vault. I then changed the Inventor Application Options -> Content Center -> Access Options to Autodesk Vault Server.
This seems to have worked, as I can Place from Content Center when in an assembly, and it is pulling standard content as well as our custom files properly from the vault. However, in the instructions that I used for the installlation, it was suggested to stick with a standard folder structure within the Vault, namely two Library Folders named 'Content Center Files' and 'Libraries' and also a regular folder named 'Designs'.
I created those folders prior to transferring the library, as I thought they would be populated with the standard/custom content. This was not the case and I am curious when these folders come into play? *they are empty*
Also, today I will be attempting to 'Check In' a project to the Vault that I recently completed; does this usually maintain structural relationships between files?
Would you recommend using a single project structure in vault for two people? It seems, since we won't be working on the same project at the same time, having a single project would not be relavant to our situation..

I'm working on setting up a process where I can bring AutoCAD drawings into GIS. I need to assign an attribute to a Polyline or Line so that the attributes can be viewed in GIS. I've noticed there is a way to convert AutoCAD to a SHP or SDP however I'm not familiar with this process.

From the attached image you can see what I'm talking about.
(left=original, middle=ROTATE, right=PROPERTIES)
When I rotate blocks using ROTATE command everything is fine, but when I rotate blocks using PROPERTIES my attributes get messed.
I need to rotate several blocks at once with PROPERTIES, because I don't have time to rotate each one separately.
The same thing happens when scaling blocks, but this was resolved using the command BSCALE in the command line.

My dvb project file was getting bigger and bigger so I decided to split it into individual files. However, I want to have one file that contains all my library images and I had hoped to reference this library from all the other projects.
So, I have a MASTER.dvb project which contains a library of images, one of which is called LOGO.
In TITLEBLOCK.dvb I want to refer to that LOGO image and place it in my userform.
When everything was together I used LogoTB.Picture = Library.LOGO.Picture.
How do I modify this? I tried LogoTB.Picture = MASTER!Library.LOGO.Picture and variations thereof but can't get it to work.
