Is it possible to do Thematic based on attribution display for a layer.
For eg: I have a layer called CIty with object data for name, country, etc. I would like to display a common symbol for all city points in ASIA, a different symbol or color for others etc. how can it be done with autocad.
I am trying to make an thematic map and i want to enter at the value an interval. For example i want to dysplay all constructions that were made between 1980 and 2012 and i dont know what to write at the Value. I've tried to enter (1980,2012) but is not good

(I think this so, as in arcview the .avl file, or in arcmap the .lyr file)
Can I export, and than import the thematic rules?
Setting the label size for multiple thematic rules, I couldn’t figure out how the label size can be set for multiple thematic rules in one go (attached).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some problems with this drawing. I have some parcels and buildings, and a number for each of them. I attached data to parcel and building number, and I want to create topology and then to create thematic queries, based on any data attached to the numbers. And I don't know how to do that, and how can I use thematic query to show me the specific parcels based on the data I want if the table is attached to the parcel number and not on polylines. Same thing on buildings...
For example: I want to make some thematic maps based on tax value, street where the parcel is located, area, or on buildings: how many levels they have, and more.
I uploaded a example file to be more specific, with data attached to numbers, without topology created (drawing cleanup is done).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have a Windows VB.net app that uses COM to open/save/close and manipulate drawings in AutoCAD..Here's how I open a drawing
AutoCAD_CurrentDwg = AutoCAD_Instance.Documents.Open(strAutoCADFilePath)
I work with various blocks and their attributes like so
Dim AutoCAD_Block_Attributes As Object = AutoCAD_Block_Reference.GetAttributesFor Each Me.AutoCAD_Block_Attribute In AutoCAD_Block_AttributesDim strAutoCAD_Block_Attribute_TagString As String = AutoCAD_Block_Attribute.TagStringAutoCAD_Block_Attribute.TextString = strSomeDB_Value
As I mentioned, this runs external to AutoCAD but I was wondering if it would be beneficial to re-write the app to run within AutoCAD... also, I believe that COM is "obsolete"? I think that my app could be revised to run inside AutoCAD via NETLOAD, using ObjectARX? One concern I have is that my app right now works with many versions of AutoCAD, not need to re-issue because my DIM statements are generic...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to select all Text-based items (Text,Mtext and Attribute References) in a drawing to check to see if they match a pattern in a regular expression. Although i have a block with an attribute in the drawing and the selection filter consisting of
DxfCode.Operator, "<OR"
DxfCode.Start "ATTRIB"
DxfCode.Start "TEXT"
DxfCode.Start "MTEXT"
DxfCode.Operator, "OR>"
It isn't picking up the attribute Reference in the block.
Is there a workaround using the Editor.SelectAll method and not having to programmatically check each block's attributes? I'm using AutoCAD 2009.

Is there somone who can explain/show a sample of how a custom drop-down list in OPM can be implemented? Based on some articels by Kean Walmsley, I have successfully implemented categorized properties in the OPM using a .NET wrapper and C#. I have a class imlementing the members of the IDynamic EnumProperty, ICategorizeProperties and IDynamicProperty2 interfaces (based on ObjectARX 2013).
However, I do not really understand how to code custom drop-down list using .NET wrapper and OPM. I am using AutoCAD 2013 and 2014. I have read a lot of posts regarding OPM but there was no useful information in regards to create custom drop-down lists.

I'm working on a command that lets me select polylines on a specific layer, then converts them to 3d solids. I'm having a slight issue where if a polyline has the same start and end coordinates (this happens in some of our drawings), then the command stops and I get an eDegenerateGeometry error. I want to modify my command so that it detects these objects, removes them from the selection set, and then notifies the users of their prescence so they can be removed manually. The last part i think I can handle, however I'm not sure how to modify either my filter or my routine to detect and ignore these objects. I'm assuming that since i'll want to record these objects to later notify the user, that i'd probably want to modify my routine.

Our team is doing program customization in Inventor 2011 that extract drawings based on 3D model. When the program runs and reached the line that has either open, close and save method, Inventor program automatically terminated and “Inventor Send Error Report” appears. When we tried to debug the program and when it reached the line that has either open, close, and save method, we force to exit our customized program but the same case, when it is totally terminated, Inventor program also terminated and “Inventor Send Error Report” appears. When we investigate the problem, we tried several solutions such as setting the active document to new variable, added a method to pause the program for few seconds, etc but still no effect.
Is there a VBA for Inventor that is intended for 64 bit machine? Because I think we use 32 bit VBA in Inventor. What does “Inventor32bitHost.exe” means in task manager? Is there any relation to Inventor VBA?
I have a problem when I insert blocks who were originally saved as dxf.
For years I've been recieving dxf-drawings from our suppliers, and for years I've opened them, saved them as .dwg and then inserted them into my drawings. Lately, when I insert these blocks, they're scaled up by 25.4... It appears that AutoCAD converts them to inches instead of in mm.
When I check the scale of the block in "Properties", the insertionscale is always 1.
I've checked the "UNITS" in the dxf and the dwg, both are mm. I've checked "INSUNITS", "INSUNITSDEFSOURCE" and "INSUNITSDEFTARGET", all of them have value "4", which is "mm"...
The screenshot above is taken in the dxf-file. I've used the "DIST" command on the dimension which states "326", and as you can see, the distance measured is also 326...
The screenshot below is taken after I've saved the dxf as a dwg, and then inserted the dwg-file as block into a new drawing. The same dimension is measured, and then I get this:
8280.4/25.4=326
i developed a windows form based stand alone application in Vb.net 2010 that calculates all the geometry data needed for a Spur Gear ,my final goal is to send all Calculated data needed in Autocad 2012 and draw automatticly the Spur Gear.
At first i started to experiment my self with a simple only task (created a new project only for this) to draw 4 circles with the same center (radius1,2,3,4) in autocad with a simple click of the command button.
The code i used is the following (for 1circle) but it returned a error like this>> SendACommandToAutoCAD()-->>Could not load file or assembly 'Acmgd, Version=18.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I want to create a command:
My selection set consists of dbpoints that exists on my drawing and they are more or less in line
I create a new point3dcollection with this db points
I want to create a 3d polyline based on this point3d collection
My problem is : how to sort this point3d collection based on a picked start point and picked end point?
The only idea I have is:
from start point i calculate the distance to each point3d from collection and based on the results i sort the point3d collection based on distances.
My vision is when someone inserts "block A", a promt will come up and ask "how many of "block A" do you need?" Based on how many you need, it will insert the block along with the arrayed amount the user has typed in.

I’m wondering if there is a way to set the lineweight to be color-based such that all the objects have the same color will take the same lineweight automatically.
Sure, we can control such behavior through the “bylayer” feature but I’m not sure if this very particular behavior might exist in the AutoCAD; color-based lineweigth!

I want to create a pyramid with a base of three sides with different lenght. In the end i want to have a solid where i can drag and move the notes to change the hight,lenght and the angle of the sides.
I already managed to draw it in 3d but now i want to convert the drawing into a solid and keep it flexible to change the parameters by draging the notes.
I also tried to extrude a triangle with a specific angle but then i was only able to move the top note up and down changes the hight. Doing it this way the top note also kept beeping in the center-point of the triangle.
