I try to place a block on top of another one, and make the new placed block the same same size as the other one. But the block scalefactors doesn't change.
Public Function FixtureConditionOverLayTest(objID as objectID) As Boolean Dim db As Database = acApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database Dim trans As Transaction = acApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction Try
'--Get Block Ref
[code]....
But I use the same block "5dPlano" through COM, it works fine
I am trying to scale down a table by half and "scale factor doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong ? it always come in original size and not scale - I tried to put the line before transaction and after appent and before , Here is Code.
Using tr As Transaction = Mydb.TransactionManager.StartTransactionDim btr As BlockTableRecord = tr.GetObject(Mydb.CurrentSpaceId, Open Mode. ForWrite) btr.AppendEntity(tb) tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tb, True)tb.ScaleFactors = New Scale3d(0.5) tr.Commit() End Using.
I am in the process of fixing one of our dynamic blocks. It's a fairly simple fix where there was a typo in one of the names of our items in the lookup that needed to be fixed.
I changed the name of the item in the lookup table. I went and did the test block and it seemed to work fine, but when I bring the block into a drawing, it reverts back to the old lookup as if I did nothing at all.
I made sure that the path was correct and I even just dragged and dropped straight from Windows Explorer to no avail.Does AutoCAD keep referring to the old block? Did I forget to change something else?
I have created a dynamic block with a stretch, flip and rotate. Everything works great in its file. When I insert it in another file, the grips move but the block does not change.
i have tons of column tags but wants to change the distance between column size and the circle and make the font smaller. I can do this individually but can't do one by one..... is there any way i can adjust all by one command or one magic touch?
When using the block editor to rename an existing block to clean that instance of the block name out of the file, the block replace command from express tools does not work.
I select a block enter block editor save block as (new Name) save and exit block editor.Insert new block into the drawing.Express tab on the ribbon select Replace Block select block A to be replaced by Block B purge out instance of block A after complete. It reports 0 blocks replaced
attached is a file with 2 blocks called Drain and Drain X each have the same visibility states I want to replace Drain with Drain X to purge out Drain from my file.
select all blocks on certain layers in a drawing, check attribute CIRCUIT in each block if it starts with MS then attribute CONTROL = switched. I hope thats clear enough the way
(defun c:control() (graphscr) (Setq sc (ssget "X" '((0 . "INSERT")
I have created a dynamic block which has hatchings in it.
In the block editor when I do a test of the block everyhting runs smoothly.
Howevfer when it is in model space it fails to keep the hatch boundary associativity. Even when the same dimensions are used as the block has as default.
I have problem with attached block (also with other similar blocks with field). This block include field in block attribute. Works fine if I copy and paste this block. When I drag and drop from Tool Pallete field disappeary.
I have this Dynamic Block which has a few distance parameters on it and an attribute at beginning of each parameter which are attached to a stretch action. If manually bring the block in. And set a value to attribute and then stretch the it , attribute move along with action. But when I do it pragmatically it doesn't . Basically attribute stays at original location of original block before stretch. What is wrong with my code. Or Shall I do something to Attributes when I change the distance parameters in Program? I don't know .
I have a function which bring the block in and set attribute first and then another call which change the distance . So I don't show the first function which to me works fine . The problem is this part.
For Each myBRP As DynamicBlockReferenceProperty In myBRC For I = 1 To NumbderOfDistanceParamsinDynBlk If myBRP.PropertyName = "Distance" & Trim(i.ToString) Then myBRP.Value = DynDistancevalue(i) End If Next Next
I type in the command ( I'm an old school typer, hate the buttons ) BLOCK....then the next thing that happens is (after hitting enter of course), my crosshairs instantly turn into the Windows arrow.
I wasn't playing with any switches. I was just trying to make a little block with a number in it.
Yes, I restarted AutoCAD, restarted the computer, did not reload in AutoCAD.....AutoCAD 2011 by the way.
I run Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
I have to do a WBLOCK to make the blocks I need to bypass this odd behavior.
I have the same problem and want to scale only in one direction. Through the search I find out that the solution is block/insert and I use it.But what is my problem?, Dimension lines.
My drawing has dimension line and I want AutoCad to change the dimension value after inserting according to scale factor. How can I do this? At present after scaling in one direction, dimension value remains same as before scaling.
As in the title, expected result in attached drawing. I'm trying to change Origin X /Y, but that doesn't change the origin of the hatch. It there a setting that controls it?
I just started using Inventor and I have this issue, that whenever I set a dimension in a sketch, the sketch doesn't update to the new dimension until I move my mouse/cursor. Is this normal? Is there any way to change it so it updates as soon as I hit the enter button (after entering a dimension)
Using 2013 sp1.1...After I change the hole size in the part, the callout in my hole note does not update. (crazy, I know).
If I pull a new hole note after the change, it has the correct dimension. But, if I change the hole size again, this new hole note does not update.I put the part on a new idw and it updates correctly, so somehow the idw is hosed.
How to access the BTR, read and write BRef, attDef, AttRef etc. But this has me stumped. There are a few different examples but can’t find anything that works and don't know why.
I have inserted a block in modelspace, I have the BlockRefID and now want to change its attribute values. This finds the attributes tags but doesn’t write the sValue. Why it isn’t writing the value to the block.
Public Sub ChangeAttributeValue(ByVal BlockRefID As ObjectId, ByVal sTagName As String, ByVal sValue As String)
Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim db As Database = doc.Database Dim tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() Dim br As BlockReference = DirectCast(tr.GetObject(BlockRefID, OpenMode.ForWrite), BlockReference) [code]........
I recently changed a block that i then re-saved to a different palette on my tool palette. i deleted the old block out of a current drawing and when i go to insert it i get the old block back and not the new one. if i open up another drawing and insert the block its the new one.
I'm sure I've seen it here before and have probaly forgotten how to do something that is simple although how do I change an inserted block (A) into block B? i.e. if I select 1000 instances of Block_A I want them to all be converted into Block_B (without editing Block_A) where Block_b is already defined in the CAD file.
i have a title block in the layout tab which i use for all new docs. when starting a new drawing i open my old one, delete the drawings and save it with a new name - this way i always have my title block how i want it in the Layout 1 tab. this has worked for me so far. but now I need to create an A3 print out.
i have created the picture that i need in modelspace but when i click in the viewport within the layout and select the scale that I have been asked to use, the pic becomes too big for the page.
when i go into page setup i can select a3 and preview this but it just shows my a4 page in the middle of an a3 page. so how to i make the titleblock and viewport bigger (to fit a3)?
If I have a dynamic block of a window. I can move either side of the block but the basepoint doesn't move. Is there a way to move the basepoint as well so its not off in space? or just delete it and have it now shown?
I have a nested entity block reference. In this entity I have three blocks. if I change any of the block reference attribute definition in the nested block reference then it is changing the original block itself.
Actually I am getting the handle of the selected block reference in the nested Entity. and change the attribute reference later. but it is making change in the block itself and other block reference too.
Here is my
static public void CONTACTS() { Document doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Editor ed = doc.Editor; string contactName = string.Empty;//to hold contact name, from xdata [code].......
