AutoCAD .NET :: Validate Plotter Before SetCurrentConfig Function To Avoid Dialog Popup?
Jun 22, 2012
I have a .NET program to read plotter information available in ACAD. I use PlotConfigManager.SetCurrentConfig function to set a PC3 plotter as current device and got the PlotConfig to read paper size information.
If the PC3 file is invalid (for example plotter name not exist, PMP file can’t be located, etc.) a dialog of ACAD ERROR will popup. Is there a way I can validate the plotter before SetCurrentConfig function to avoid the dialog popup?

I'm working on my dialog for editing iproperties again and I'd like to make it preview the output of a function. We like using functions in the description for calling out material sizes using parameters. So I have my dialog get the function in the description iproperty, but if you don't know what parameters are what it can be hard to work with.
I'd like to show the evaluated description function so it's easier to work with.
Description function
=<G_H> x <G_W> x <G_T> S.S. TUBE x <G_L>
Evaluated description shown in BOM
4.00 in x 2.00 in x 0.19 in S.S. TUBE x 21.00 in
I know it'd be possible to set the iproperty and get the evaluated version after setting it. But if the user cancels out of the dialog that change would have to be undone, which would require storing the original value and resetting it on cancel. Is there a way to evaluate the function without setting it first?

I would like to know if there is some type of plug-in, etc. out there that would allow me to have all the functionality of a Distiller dialog box when I save a PDF out of Illustrator CS5. Right now, I just have what comes installed with Illustrator. It's a stripped down version of what you would find in distiller.

This seems absolutly silly.
(setq p1 (getpoint))
(setq p2 (getpoint))
(setq Dist (distance p1 p2))
Why does this not work?
I'm trying to build a command to replace AutoCAD's "DI" command, to give distance and delta x, y, and z values in decimal and imperial, and keep the angles in XY plane and out of XY plane.

I'm trying to be able to have a function run another function with the secondary function being passed as an argument to the first. I'm trying to create a recursive function and the recursive part works great. I just need to be able to have the recursive function run other functions to actually do stuff.
Here is something I found that should do what I need, mainly run a function from a function name in a variable.
Sub test() Dim ftnName As String Dim argument As String Dim result As String ftnName = "myFunction" argument = "cat" result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument) MsgBox resultEnd SubFunction myFunction(inString As String) As String myFunction = inString & " has " & Len(inString) & " letters."End Function
However I get the error "object required" on the "result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument)" line. So I'm guessing the Inventor VBA doesn't like this method of doing this. I'm just hoping there is a way to do this or this function will be useless or reduced to hardcoding functions which still defeats the purpose.

How do you TURN OFF the Plot and Publish Dialog box in AutoCAD LT 2012?
I opened up the dialog box and chose to only notifiy me for "Errors Only"......but it still pops up for ALL my printing and then won't shut off unless I close it myself.....very annoying!
I have turned off the notification for my OS setup but this is unique to the Autodesk software.
I have attached a word doc with my screen shot of the dialog box that pops up and then the larger box that opens up when you want the details.

When I plot my Autocad drawing, arrows (see attached image) arrow.jpgpop up. I'm pretty sure they are coming in from one of my architecture x-ref files, but as they only pop up when the drawing is plotted, I cant seem to figure out how to turn them off.

When I run the DI command and specify two points, it gives all the details including the distance between the points in the commandline.
Is there any way (may be using cui or lisp) so that the same result appears in form of a popup window??

I am porting some VBA to VB.Net.
Several of the modules do a ThisDrawing.SendCommand("_color" & vbCR) to popup the AutoCAD color picker, then process the response by doing a ThisDrawing.GetVariable("CECOLOR") to get the selected color.
With .Net, the SendCommand does not execute until the .Net program ends.
How can I get the AutoCAD color picker to popup inline in my code so I can get the user's selection?

When i used to draw a rectangle, circle, line, etc- a box (or several) boxes popped up after i clicked the first point. These let me enter the distance then hit the tab button and go to a second box to enter height or angle depending on what i was drawing. There was also some popups that showed up when clicking the chamfer or fillet buttons but now those are all gone. When i input numbers, it goes to the command bar.
How can i get those small popup windows to reappear in my modelspace?

I am running autocad 2011 for mac to design sails. I was given a autolisp file that will automate the majority of the process, but it uses a .dcl file to input all the numbers. Unfortunately .dcl files are not support with the Mac version and therefore I am looking for any solutions.
- Is there another way to input the information and therefore link the lsp file to something different?
- Is it easy to re-write the lisp file and input directly into that?
At the moment the time I am wasting researching how to make the .lsp program work, I could have hand drawn most of the sails anyway!

I have createdMtext for the points present the dwg file, so that they get displayed as labels.
But when there are some densely located points, these points overlay and cannot be read. The font size also adjusted. Then too there are lot of overlapping.

So we have a new plotter at work, and I am trying to use it with the publish command. However, because all of our old drawings are saved with our old plotter name, choosing the new plotter isn't an option for all of our old dwgs that havent been set up using the new plotter name. Since our dwgs number in the 1000s, going through each one and renaming them would be impracticable.. but having to individually plot each one is pretty impracticable as well..
So I tried to figure out a workaround, by opening up our new template that has the new plotter configuration on it, hoping I would be able to use it to set all the old dwgs that I have open at the time to the new plot setting.. but the printer name comes up as something different when I try to use it for publish, and if I use it, I get an error and nothing prints. I know the settings used in the new template work, I have been able to print it out. So what I'm asking is, is there anyway I can use the new plotter to publish all of our old drawings?

using a plotter on a network. I moved all my plot styles to a folder on the network where everyone can use them and pointed the path on each station. My only problem now is that each station seems to have the drivers ect.. for the plotter on stand alone stations. What happens if I open a dwg on my station and then close it and go to another station I get warning that drivers are not found,the device can not be found. Do I need to copy the driver and device folders to the network and have the settings on each PC point to that folder.

How to avoid broken links to an Xref while migrating to a new server?
We will migrate our servers and have to move all Xrefs. The Xrefs are composed from files located on different harddrives. Let's say A: / B: / C:
When migrating to our new servers I suppose we are just fine when we name the new harddrives exactly the same as the current situation? Are there any other things we should take care of?

Which setting(s) do I need to change to avoid dimensions that "explode" after inserting into a project. Example, several Architects I deal with, when any dimension string is placed into the drawing, there is a prompt to either type in or hit enter for the dimension shown. I will save the drawing, but if I get into the drawing later and need to continue the dimension string, I cannot select the previous dimension as it is now just lines and text. I am using Autocad 2013 and have never been able to figure this out.

I have recently created an iLogic driven kitchen door that can become any door, at any size in our range. (Which is too big) The descrption udates to identify the characteristics of the door in fine detail.
The problem we have: Is there a simple system that will let our CADCAM guy know he's already tooled a door of that descrption before?
Previously we were using iParts, which made it simple for him, but a bit of a nightmare for the guys in the drawing office as our range was huge and full of custom sizes, that in some cases only varied by 1mm.
