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.
View 1 RepliesI recently upgraded from LT2013 to LT2014. I never had any issues with 2013, but now seem to be battling with 2014. My OS is Windows 7 Home edition.
When selecting an object and then clicking the properties menu, the properties of the selected object are not displayed, but instead the properties of the selected layer are shown.
In the attached screenshot:
1) My active layer is "AM_VIEWS".
2) The layer of the object that is selected is "MEDIUM".
3) The properties dialog box shows the properties of my active layer and not the selected object.
I am therefore unable to override any settings of the selected object and manually change settings e.g. Linetype, Linetype scale etc.
Is there a way to access AEC-data (connection properties etc) using the SDK?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently I upgraded to 2013 and I been having some issues with my survey DB, first of all I created a base data shortcuts project template folder with all my folders and a default Survey DB.
once I create my project, and import points to the default DB, I have no access to the Figure Properties. Is this feature, that worked in 11 & 12 now broken in 13? I have gone into the setting and copied a new files to the folder several times, to no avail, and there are no other versions of C3D on this machine.
So now that I have my points in the drawing, I go to translate them to my survey, generally I will utilize line in the drawing between field data, and platted data to translate and rotate to the platted lot or lots and the work from there on any calcs or changes. However, when my OSNAP toolbar is docked and locked and I go to select a point line the midpoint, I have no access to the OSNAPS. This also, worked in 11 & 12, but seems broken in 13.

I am looking for a way to use the .dwg file properties of a drawing to generate an updateable drawing list/register. One that will update automatically as the file properties are updated. I have already created a title block that uses text fields to display custom properties of the file on my title block, such as the job no., drawing no. etc.
I have searched the web for answers, came across this site, joined and searched through it... There are a number of threads that 'sorta' deal with my needs but alway tend to digress more towards the "poster's" needs and away from mine. I noticed that they all talk about Lisp Routines and I have no knowledge of using them. Is that the only way to go or can I use another route? Another one was the Sheet Set Manager but I don't think that this is exactly what I am looking for...
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 ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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).
Is there a way to access the object of the last entity modified.
If a dynamic block is changed I want to collect the changes.
I'm guessing I use the AcadDocument_EndCommand to kick off the routine but don't know how to identify the modified object.
I have a program in C# where i am trying to access a sub-object which is of type Connectors/fasteners.
In a drawing, I have an object with class (PnPClassname) P3dConnector, and when I click on it's red circle with <ctrl> pressed, I access an object with class (PnPClassname) BoltSet. I have added the event oDatabase.ObjectModified, but this only access the P3dConnector-object, not the BoltSet-object. See the image and attached file.
How can i access this sub-object? I have tried to loop through prompted result set using SelectAll. The P3dConnector-object is listed but not the BoltSet-object.
I'm upgrading some older COM based code to work in VB.Net with Civil 3D 2012. The app iterates through all of the Alignment objects, finding the ones with SuperEleveation, and places the names in a listbox. The user can select one or more of the alignments from the list to have the SuperElevation slope values modified.
The problem I am having is when I get the alignment object to update I get an execption that the object is locked. It's probably something simple but I'm at a loss to where to go next.Here as a brief code snippet:
' Sub1 is called to find all of the alignment objects with SuperElevation
Sub Sub1()
Dim objCol As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectIdCollection
Dim objID As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectId
Dim tm As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Transaction
Dim myAlg as Alignment

How to get the Object Properties by Javascript
I found that it is hard for me to get the property of selected object by Javascript.
Just like the following code, I can get the object ID of each selected entity. But when I want to get the property of the DBEntity, just the center of a Circle entity, or the Position.X of a Point, I dont know how to Continue. The getExtent is the only function that I can writeout the property, it is List in the develop guide.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Acad experience is very old-school, and I have been away from true Autocad for a number of years.
I have been attempting to edit the properties of objects in the block editor and ran into a problem.
+ I select an object.
+ Right-click and choose Properties.
+ A list of properties is displayed, but they are not for the object I am trying to edit.
I did a test by selecting the object and using the command prompt, used the CHPROP command to change the objects color. It did change color as expected.
However, when I used the right-click/properties method, the properties shown do not show the new color. So, I suspect that my right-click/properties method is not showing me the object's properties. But, rather the default properties when any new objects are created.
So, obviously right-clicking is not the way to get there. What am I missing?
I am working on a template for a project type (Residential). I have created all of my drawings, views, sheets, etc. I have a View drawing set up for a site plan - where I include some m-text regarding the survey and site plan information. I want to create fields that reference the Surveyor's Name, the Survey Date and the Project Address.
I tried creating custom properties in the project, but it appears that fields that reference the project properties only update on the sheet views in paper space. Is there a way of creating drawing specific fields in model space where I can input some data and them extract it in a field in model space that is quick and easy (as opposed to creating some type of MVB)?

I cannot change the color of any object in any drawing file from the properties manager or color command. I can change the color through the layer manager by assigning a new color to that layer, but cannot override the ByLayer and ByBlock settings with the object properties.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow do I get at the hatch objects within a drawing using iLogic?
I would like to be able to customize hatch color based on various part properties.
ie:
Purchased part = Green Hatch
Refrence = Light Grey
and much more
This would be possible if I can get to the hatch object and determin what part it is associated with.
I only see iLogic code that allows you to change visibility of all hatching, and set general hatch angle.
Since I can select a hatch in the drawing and change its color, I assume there is an un-published API object that relates to hatches
it sure is useful to be able to get to the rest of the object properties that are there but hidden from property sets.
