AutoCAD .NET :: Change Current WCS To Object UCS
Sep 9, 2013
I would like to change current WCS to the object's UCS.
In AutoCAD I manually do this:
a) WCS -> OBject.
b) I'm selecting object;
c) PLAN.
I wrote this
if (sourceObject is Entity) {
Entity ent = (Entity)sourceObject as Entity;
Point3dCollection pts = new Point3dCollection();
ent.GetStretchPoints(pts); Point3d pt = pts[0];
double viewsize = (double)Application.GetSystemVariable("VIEWSIZE");
[Code]....
how to set current coordinate system to the object's UCS?

Dim AcadDoc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim CurDb As Database = AcadDoc.Database Dim lt As LayerTable = DirectCast(tr.GetObject(CurDb.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForRead), LayerTable)
if fails on last line with error:-
Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

I just received a large floor plan and loads of the text is upside down. Usually I would use the TORIENT command in Express Tools although this doesn’t seem to work.
The error I get is:1 object was not parallel to the current UCS.No valid objects selected.
I’ve tried flatten, mirror & rotate but I still can’t get the text to display correctly.
I’ve attached a DWG file (2010 format) with a piece of text.

there is a way to show or hide a specific object (not the layer it is sitting in) in a specified viewport without affecting its visibility in model space or other viewports. I came across a .vlx file from www.cadstudio.cz/dl./hideshow.vlx that does the job of showing or hiding an object in model space( and hence in all viewports).

I have a small application that zooms on an entity with specific properties. The problem is that if I am in paperspace and the entity is in model space, i cannot see the entity. How can I make the entity's space to become the current space?

When I set a layer as current, every object or line I select in the drawing appear to be on that layer in the toolbar. Although in the properties toolbox, I see that the line I selected is still on the right layer.
I can't work in paperspace either, when I freeze a layer it freezes all objects. It seems like whenever I give a different layer to an object, it attributes to all object that same layer.
When I open the same drawing in acad 2008, everything is ok, the objects have the proper layers.
Is there a command for that or it's an acad 2013 problem?

Just starting to use 2014, and so far not so good. I tend to keep the Properties Palette open and docked. In 2014, if my current layer is 0, any object I select in a drawing shows as Layer 0 in the Design tab of the Properties palette. If I change to a different layer, any object selected shows that layer in the Properties palette. If I start a new drawing, enter WALLADD and draw a wall segment, the A-WALL layer now correctly appears in the Layer Manager, but when I select the wall, the Layer in Properties is the current layer, not the A-WALL layer it should have gone on. Also, Quick Properties is on, but doesn't pop up anywhere.

i have this drawing which i created data reference to the wrong project in the wrong coordinate system and worked off that. then now i am trying to correct it. so i copied the dtm and did coordinate transformation and got that right. now the model drawing is still linked to the original dtm from the other project folder.
if i remember right back in 2007 version there was a completely built in shortcut editor which allows you to change the path in current drawing. now it's all greyed out. there is no access. so is there a way to bypass this? probably pretty common thing to do. say you want to try different version of the same object to try your design just swap it back and forth.
They should make a right click button on the data shorts in current drawing and says "browse data reference" not show up when only broken reference occurs.
one way i can think off now is copy the files to local. disable network drive, then let it broken reference show up then browse to desktop one then delete desktop one and hopefully it get the broken reference again and not look for the very original one. i think it's probably gonna do that, there is some "hidden" thing stored in the object to point to the original path which not available to users.

I want to navigate along my feature line, viewing which point is screen is the current point at the grid.
My feature line shows its points with blue circle & square grips and the current point is showed by a green circle.
The problem is the zoom level, Grips have always the same size but circular green indicator does not.
You can only view this last at a very detailed zoom.
I'd like to have a "big" arrow or something similar.The problem is the great difficulty to identify points....

how can i know if the current view/display is align with the current ucs?
let's say i have rotate the ucs about z axis 45 degrees and make it plan now i draw some things and then i change back to world
worlducs = 1
viewdir = 0,0,1
ucsxdir = 1,0,0
ucsydir = 0,1,0
but the display is still in the ucs z 45 (ucsfollow = 0) set the view to PLAN current (now the view is aligned) but the system vars does not change.
For a plan UCS, you would need to compare the VIEWDIR system variable and the cross product of the UCSXDIR and UCSYDIR system varaibles.

Is there a macro/script/deisel that will automatically print a pdf (cute pdf autocad lt 2007) to current plot settings in current drawing directory and give it the current drawing view name and number? Disk space not a problem these days and would save time to have a pdf copy of all drawing tabs readily stored in the directory ready for issue.

Technique that can check the current plotter name for the current tab and assign it to a variable? i.e. can it be assigned to a variable to check if if equals "myplotter1". The next step - is there a technique to change the plotter name to "myplotter2.pc3".
I have partially done the latter part of this in the past using the -plot command line to ASSIGN a new plotter but I would really like to only run the routine if it really needs to.

Inside my current action, I have this Axis+Image with some keyframes on opacity and transformation, also some keyframes on X blur/Y blur in my Media list. How do I recycle this setup for other Action?
I tried the save selected object, but when I load it from other action, using Add Nodes + Media method, only the Axis and Image show up (with keyframes). The Media of it shows empty.

The Arrow head size didn't change corresponding to the scale, i included the pic below, the top picture, the arrow head was set at .18" but was really small when i plot out, so i wanted to make it bigger, when i changed to .50" or .75" or even 1" the arrow head became even smaller than .18". Only when .18" than the arrow side is legible

Does this signify something? How do I change the current color back to black?

I'm trying to use some images in my ScriptUI dialog, but I want to use a "relative" path name, and I can't seem to get it to work.For example, this myScript.jsx works just fine, but as you can see, I'm using an "absolute" path name to transparencyGrid.jpg:
var w = new Window ("dialog");
var f = new File ('~/Desktop/transparencyGrid.jpg');
w.add ("image", undefined, f);
w.show ();
However, I want to be able to use a relative (to myScript.jsx) path to point at transparencyGrid.jpg, like this:
var w = new Window ("dialog");
var f = new File ('../../../transparencyGrid.jpg');
w.add ("image", undefined, f);
w.show ();
But, I can't seem to get this to work because relative paths seem to be relative to the current folder, Folder.current, not the location of the currently executing script.I say that because when I do this:
alert(Folder.current);
The only thing the alert message shows is a backslash (/), indicating to me that the current folder is the root of my OS, but I thought it would be the folder where myScript.jsx resides.
So, is there a way of setting Folder.current to the location of the actual script?

I have 1 Next button that is used on the timeline. Each position has a pause then a play so there is only 1 button. I need to get the label info so I know where I am so I can save the location of the timeline that the user was at if they exited before they finished the process.

I got a simple question about the creation of copies of an object. Is it possible to have the objects in the mirroring of an object change with the object used as reference for mirroring?
If there is no function to do this directly is there a way to do it via Ilogics to update the mirrored objects? If possible even by deleting and creating a new the mirroring yet not manually but by i logic?

I recently set up Elements 12. Prior to this I used elements 11. In that catalog I have more photos that I don't want. So I decided to export the ones I want then import into PSE 12. As I do this many of the dates on the pictures change from the date taken to the current date. I have tried several different ways and can't stop the dates changing. I am putting them into mobile albums in PSE 12 if that makes a difference.

When I have a none vector tool active for example the brush tool and I press and hold the Ctrl key down I see the cursor change from the current tool to the move tool cursor. If I presses and hold the Alt key I see the cursor change from the current tool to the eyedropper tool. If I press and hold both the Ctrl+Alt keys a see a cursor icon change to an icon that has two up pointing Arrow heads one Black the other White. What tool is that cursor for? It seems to copy and move the current layer and move its position over the canvas.

According to this [URL] article I tried to add context menu to my object:
ContextMenuExtension nodeContextMenu = new ContextMenuExtension();
....
Application.AddObjectContextMenuExtension(RXClass.GetClass(typeof(DBPoint)), nodeContextMenu);
Next, I found selected object:
private static ObjectId GetSelectedObject()
{
Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Editor ed = doc.Editor;
[Code] ........
Ok, I found it and tried to change properties of selected object:
using (Transactiontx = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
{
DBPoint point = tx.GetObject(selectedObject, OpenMode.ForWrite) asDBPoint;
At this line Autocad has been crashed. This line works if I open object ForRead, but I can't open it ForWrite or call UpgradeOpen. Is it possible to change object from context menu?

Is there a way to change linetypes within a certain object?
EXAMPLE:
I want to show hidden lines under another object.
So far, what I do is trim the existing lines and draw new ones with a new layer.
