AutoCAD .NET :: XRef Listing With RealDWG
Aug 29, 2011
Is it possible to get a listing of all of the X-Refs contained in a particular document. I am attempting to do this with the following
db.ReadDwgFile(testFileName, FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndWriteNoShare, true, null); using (var tx = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { var xrefGraph = db.GetHostDwgXrefGraph(true); for(int i = 0; i < xrefGraph.NumNodes; i++) { XrefGraphNode xgn = xrefGraph.GetXrefNode(i); Console.WriteLine(xgn.Name); } }
I know that this drawing has 3 attached X-Refs, but none are coming up in the node graph.

We people are doing the Autocad CAD customization using COM & .NET API.
Now I have heard that we can read or write thedwg file using realdwg toolkit without installing AuotCAD on my machine so it is beneficial that we can do without AutoCAD.
Rather than this advantage, how it can be usefult to our team if our organization will but it ?

Is there a way to access AEC object (AEC_WALL etc.) properties from RealDWG? I am able to get the class name AecDbWall. And even the extents of the entity.There are some Aec*.dll files in the RealDWG folder but I am not sure what to use to get the properties of Wall,window.I'm using visual C++. I have installed the object enablers of Architecture Structure Drawing, MEP, and also of Civil.

I have developed a C# winforms app with RealDWG SDK. When I close my form I get the "App has stopped working" error below. I've added in some Dispose methods to see if that was the issue, but I still get the error.
I added a dispose method to my HostApplication class and I called my Winform dispose method. I thought that the error was caused by unfinished RealDWG business at the Form Closing event.I am using RealDWG 2013, Visual Studio 2010 SP1, Windows 7 64-bit. I also have AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 installed.
I know that AutoCAD and RealDWG both use acdb19.dll. My app contains 6 classes with around 1000 lines of code on each class, so to paste in my code would be impossible. Here is my code structure.
I start by implementing a HostApplicationService Class (MyHost.cs)
Then I call my Windows Form. (MainForm.cs)
From my form I collect object data from a SqlDatabase.
Once the data is acquired, I send the data to a Class that handles my AutoCAD classes. (AutoCAD.cs)
In this class I create my RealDWG Database.
Next I pass the database to various IDisposable classes that perform AutoCAD actions.
I.E, CreateTitleBlock() CreateLayers(), DrawShape(); etc..
Everything works great, except when I go to close the app, I get the error. I dispose everything I can think of right before exiting.
I've tried:
this.Close();
Application.Exit();
How to dispose the app or close it cleanly?
Here is the error....
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: LongBayRD.exe
Application Version: 1.0.0.0
[Code] .....

In the process of cretaing an installer for a RealDWG based web application(VS2010 web setup project). The intended target environments for now will be win server 2003 and win 7. They will be fairly clean in the sense that no other autodesk or realdwg based products are installed or is planned to be installed.
The tips and techniques chapter of the RealDWG documentation have a section of how to create an installer and it says that all merge modules from the Redistrib folder should be added to the installer.
However the Redistribution requirements chapter mentions that for Shapemager functionality either a couple of merge modules should be included (for read/write support) or a couple of other merge modules should be included(read only support).
I've tried to only include the mergemodules that are listed as required but that did not work when I tried to run the deplyed app. (acdbmgd.dll missed several dependencies to other dll's that were not listed as required). When trying to include everything I get errors when doing a validation of the msi in Orca(probably originating from the shapemanager mergemodules).

I know that in ACAD you can use the xref manager to see where the actual file for the xref resides on your computer/server/etc. What I'm curious about is whether or not the inverse action is possible. Can you somehow access the file (not the output sheet where it's being xref-ed) and see what other files are using it as an xref?
I've come in on a project that is nearing completion and have been assigned the task of "cleaning up the project folder." Unfortunately, there are a ton of files in the different folders that are no longer in use on the final output sheets and I need to keep the ones still in use and archive the ones that are no longer needed. What I've been doing is going through those sheets and reviewing the xref manager for each sheet to see which files are actually put onto those sheets and making a physical checklist from which to organize my findings. Once the checklist is made, I then archive all the files that are no longer being used.

Is there a way to count all types of object in a drawing?
Like this:
Command: ????
Number of blocks: 22
Number of 3d faces: 2
.
.
Number of hatches:1
"Qselect" does it but it can be very slow if there are a large number of objects in the file.
I guess this information is savea as "meta data" and can be accessed even without opening the file???

We use autocad lt 2012, when creating a drawing, the same component can be used more than once, is it possible to print a detail listing of all the components used in a single drawing in some sort of report format, or maybe export the listing to a program like MS excel....etc.

Is it possible to run a lisp which can extract all the xref names, make a layer with that name and then change the xref on the layer? I have got a similar routine from earlier posts but it doesn't work if any xrefs inserted in paper space (works fine on model space). could change this routine allowing to change the layer of xref in paper space too.
(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a)))
(defun c:lxr ( )
(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))

I am using (trying to anyway) a :VLR-xrefSubcommandReloadItem reactor. My only question is how to get the xref/block name from the 'reactor callback data' Object ID.
I am ultimately trying to pass it to (vla-get-xrefdatabase ....), but I cannot figure out how to turn the second parameter from the reactor callback data into something I can use - for example the second parameter returned may be "65" or some other number.

when you bind an xref the link disappears from the xref manager.
is it possible to bind an xref, but preserve that link in the xref manager? i realize that will lead to two copies of the same object in the drawing (one xref, plus the new block). everyone's okay with that happening.

I checked a couple of old posts looking for a lisp routine that will count the number of lines and list each different length either in a dialog box or txt file. I am working on an estimate and I have a floor plan of owsj of different lengths. I downloaded the tlen.lsp but that is only giving the total number of joists and the total length.
I am looking for a lisp so that I can window all the owsj at once and have it list or show the result for the joist in this manner
sample output:
xx joists = 10'-0"
xx joists = 20'-0"
xx joists = 30'-0"

Recently installed 2013, previously had 2011inv. Trying to find out exactly what the constraint changes are from 2011 to 2012 inv. I as told that there was a post here with them, but cannot find it (only posts of constraint problems that people were having when they switched to 2012).
what the changes are from inv2011 to 2012 or inv2011 to 2013. Doesn't autodesk have these changes listed somewhere in writting?

I'm using AutoCAD 2013 64 bit and MS Visual Basic 2010 Express (and Excel 2007), and I'm trying to write VB.NET code to list all xrefs attached to a group of drawings. The list of drawings is in column 1 of an Excel spreadsheet, and I want to list all xref filenames in columns 2 onwards - one row per drawing.
The Excel part works fine. I just wish it was as easy to extract information from DWG files.
I created a "Windows Form Application" project in VB 2010 and added a button to Form1. Clicking on the button runs the code.
When adding references I added "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library" COM for Excel (as per Excel website tutorial), and "acdbmgd.dll" and "acmgd.dll" (both with Copy Local=False) as per AutoDesk .NET tutorial. But I got warning messages saying Acdbmgd.dll and Acmgd.dll target a different processor. Is this different to the Excel COM target processor, or do I need to change the target processor for the whole project (and if so, how)?
I tried adding "AutoCAD 2013 Type Library" COM reference instead of "acdbmgd.dll" and "acmgd.dll" which got rid of the target processor warning messages, and I could then open the dwg files successfully, but still the project crashes.
Here's the code so far...
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
' do I need to include Imports for AutoCAD here? Various websites list AutoDesk.AutoCAD... imports here, but AutoDesk isn't an available option when I try adding this here - maybe because I have the wrong references?
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code]....
When I run the project I also get a "A first change exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in MyProject.exe" message. How can I rectify this?
Currently it crashes when it gets to the cadDwg.Database.Blocks line saying "Call was rejected by callee. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010001 (RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED))".
The xlsx file and the dwg files refered to in the xlsx file all exist. I've tried running it both with AutoCAD 2013 running and with AutoCAD 2013 not running. Still doesn't work
I feel so close, but what am I missing? I haven't downloaded the "ObjectARX for AutoCAD 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)" from AutoDesk yet because (i) I have to get a licence, and (ii) it's a very large file, and (iii) I seem to be able to open drawing files without it, but just not access the data I want in the files.
I've got 1500+ drawings to look at by the end of the week. If this doesn't work it's back to AutoLisp (and maybe script files, but that's another headache).

For some reason my Styles Palette lists "most" of my style-sets twice? There is a horizontal rule below my last style listing in the flyout menu before it starts listing them again? Loading a style from either list works. I have done a search on my hard drive and on one file exists for each style .asl file.

I need to list all the bitmaps in my scene.
I've brought in an fbx that was created & materials applied in Revit. The bitmaps don't display on the model in my viewports, although they do render. I need to be able to make a list of all the bitmaps that are applied to this model, so I can go track them down and save copies into a folder.
Back when I was using Max 2009, I could open my material/map browser, set it to search the scene, and list only the bitmaps, not the root materials. How can I do this in 2011?

When the IP address of one of my scanners was changed (due to power outage), two listings of the scanner now show up as separate devices with the same name in the PSE9 WIA list - one of these with the old obsolete IP address. The same device is also listed with the new address and it works. How to I delete the WIA listing with the old IP address?
Only one entry with the IP address for this HP printer/scanner shows up in the Windows 7 list of printers. So this WIA list is a remanent of the past. How do I get rid of it?
