I have a command which proccess entities in the drawing and creates a SelectionSet. But, on the drawing i do not see the selected objects . I need to show grips on selected objects . It is a looks like a Quick Select command. What can i do? What method showing the grips?
View 2 Replieshow I can use VBA to select objects in the drawing, so that the grips are enabled/shown. The editing of the object will be done manually in AutoCAD. All I want for VBA to do, is to select them.

However, while trying to solve the problem, i've opened another drawing where i AM able to make grips "hot". It doesn't appear to be a system setting issue.

If I use the same sketch and I extrude one side then it is possible to use the 3D Grips to select the component to extend.
I have three identical squares on top of each other at different elevations. As all of their location grips align vertically it should be possible to select the same corner grip of all of them in one easy operation, but how?

How to select all entites of a layer?

I need a function similar to Qselect.
In this case I would like to select all entities on a series of layers. (i.e.: a-site-* or a-fill*). I know I can do this with qselect by doing each layer one at a time and append the existing selection set.
Instead, I've been locking all layers except the series I'm looking for, but it seems like there should be a quicker way.
I coded a utility to work with entities rotation. This is a part of a bigger project so i just cutt and pasted together the part of code that have this problem.
Basically i get the selection, i clone it (because this is a copy and rotate) and through a draw jig class i rotate all the entities. This works well but just sometimes when the command ends it happened this weird thing, the entities appears in the draw but they can't be selected. And all get back to the normally after saving, closing and reopening the draw.
This is the utility.
public void Run(object param) { Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Editor ed = doc.Editor; Database db = doc.Database; List<Entity> toRotate = new List<Entity>(); PromptSelectionOptions pso = new PromptSelectionOptions(); pso.MessageForAdding = "
Select objects"; pso.AllowDuplicates = false; pso.AllowSubSelections = false; PromptSelectionResult psr =

When trying to select entities with a window or crossing polygon (and hitting enter) there are no grips showing to indicate that the selection has been completed even though the entities seem to be highlighted. Syntax: select, enter, wp, enter (draw polygon), enter.
I am a part time user of this wonderful program and only recently moved to 2010 and yet I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I have Googled and looked in my texts and still am having difficulty (also attempted to search FAQ on this site but the link malfunctioned).
When I select more than 100 entities all of the grip points disappear. With ACAD 2002 there seemed to be no limit to the number of entities you could select without losing the grips, but with ACAD 2007 they started dissapearing though with '07 clicking "View" "Regen" would bring them back into view (unless you accidentally click on another entity). With ACAD 2013 if I go over 100 that's it. This is mostly a problem for me as I use the spacebar shortcuts extensively in creating and manipulating my drawings. I have found other ways to to acomplish my needs such as using the move command but I have much successful history using my old methods and would like to continue with them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe 'application' I am trying to make currently adds entites to a drawing. Each entity has data associated with it but also part of a tree of infomation so I store xrecord data along with the objectID in a dictionary tree within the drawing.
I want to be able to select multiple entities and have any matching data shown in a palette. The same way the properties palette behaves.
I have it working but I can see AutoCAD crunching the data. It cycles through the selection set and the dictionary tree extracting entity data until it finds an ID match in the xrecord.
How the properties palette works so quickly or how I could improve the speed.
How do I to set and to see or show the existing grips point when drawing new line?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a button such that if the user clicks it, AutoCAD will automatically draw a border that just includes all entities in the drawing.(Something) like the viewport border in the paper space)
Approach #1: The first approach could be zoom extent and draw a border around the zoomed view. how to zoom extent and draw a polyline, but can't figure out the exact size of zoomed view.
Approach #2 (optimal) : If the entity is a right circle and my AutoCAD window is not in square shape (for example, the AutoCAD window is maximized and my monitor is wide-screen monitor), Approach #1 will create redundant spaces at the right and left side of the circle entity. So if I could get the grid coordinate of far left, far right, top, and bottom entities, I can draw the optimal border around all entities in the drawing.
I have a dxf file that consists of multiple rectangles (filled). I need to keep the X-Y position of each rectangle / entity the same but scale the size of the rectangle.
So for example, scale by -10%. If its a filled rectangle centered at (1,1) size (2,2) I need it to be centered at (1,1) and size (1.8, 1..
DXF is a text file and I can write a piece of VBA code to go through, decode the text, find the rectangles, scale, save the text file back to DXF.
I key in "Crtl A" and this selects ALL objects/entities that exist, however some of these objects/entities are not visible nor are they selectable.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI created a drawing where I created a grading object (pad) under a site, a couple of alignements, etc.
After deleting everything to maintain layer states and settings, I saved the drawing as a starting template for day to day drawing (left it as a dwg, not dwt)
When I start a new drawing from a saveas of the template, it says that there is already a grading group named 'pad' but there isn't anything shown in the prospector. Purge hasn't worked. Any ghost entities left in a drawing.
I've also noticed that if you screw up a grading and try to delete the entire site and start over...you get weird results too. It's like it remembers old stuff you did (ghost entities) and won't let you start with a clean slate.?

im used to opening up two drawings simultaneously, and i used to drag & drop entities with one another but for some strange reason i cannot do this drag & drop thing anymore with my drawings, i tried to use ccleaner to clean up the clipboard, tried searching it here and googling it but still cannot find any clue.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI know through the block command you can write out a selection of entities to a single drawing.But what I am wondering is if it is possible to have two drawings open, and transfer data quickly between the two?
As an example as we are detailing an assembly we create a title block around a detail, put dimensions and notes on as needed and would then like that to be transfered into another drawing next to the previously transfered detail drawing.
We have this need to have all of the solids in a drawing to be placed in the "solid" layer.
Sometimes folks are drafting lines to develop these solids, and keeping the lines on the "solid" layer, rather than moving them to another layer, or deleting them altogether.
I could get folks to run this command before leaving the drawing.
I'm thinking something along the lines of:
Select all entities that are on the solids layer that are not solids.
If nil, great, do nothing.
If entities are selected, let me do something with them.
I'm hoping the following can be modified ever so slightly.
(setq non_solid (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "3DSOLID")(cons 8 "solid"))))
My drawing- block is a little bit complicated, it contains few actions and parameters and everytime i open block editor to add, or to modify some action I can't see my drawing because actions grips and parameters grips obscure my drawing. I tried to refresh layout but it doesn't work.
