Using VB .NET we're trying to find the Resolved path of an Xref. We can get the Saved path (which, for us, is only the xref dwg name) but we need to determine where the Xref was "found at" by AutoCAD.

Yesterday I purchased the ultimate bonus pack online ( Winzip,Painter Essentials, User Guide,KTP and Photolooks) from Corel.The photo looks plugin installed with no problem. The Corel KPT Collection (PSPPX3_KPT_01 set up file) would not install giving me the following error message"The path to the language folder could not be resolved, setup cannot continue".I use Win 7 64 bit

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have many drawings that were created with the xref's as full path and I need them to be relative path. I would just go in and reatch them as relative path but the drawings are complete and there are different layers frozen in each one.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attaching a File as a xRef. At the time of Attachment, I select attach as attachment, and No Path in Path.
Now if I try to fetch detail of this file using MdiActiveDocument.Database and BlockTableRecord, I gets only file name not the path. However, In AutoCAD we can see the file path under "Found At". Can we read / fetch this using C#.
In case of Full Path or relative Path, I gets full path in btr.PathName
Here is my code and I am using AutoCAD 2013
Database db = acadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;
using (Transaction Trans = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) {
BlockTable BlkTbl = (BlockTable)Trans.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead,false,true);
db.ResolveXrefs(false, false);

So I've got these 11 design packs that I have been working on for months. Every time I need to make a major change I copy the entire folder and work on the copy so that I supposedly can get back to where I was if/when something goes awry. I am now working in my fourth version of the folder.
Most of the designs work just fine, but when I try to open one of them, it can't find the Xref. In the first place, when it tells me where it thinks the Xref should be, that's where it is - the path is correct - but AutoCAD can't find it. In the second place, when I go back into my supposedly safely saved earlier versions of the design, suddenly AutoCAD can't find the Xref in those versions either, even though I have not touched them since they last worked.
How I can correct it? I do NOT want to lose the scaling I have in the viewports, as I have gobs of labeling in paper space that points to features in the viewports.
How to find a given block inside a Xref.
I can run through the entire xref object and find the block - by name - but is it posibel to search direct like searching in the main drawing.
I have a drawing which has a reference to an external drawing in it for the company logo which is used in the title block. We have moved the location of the company logo to a new drive and thus I need to modify the properties of the path.
But when I open up the properties on this it does not allow me to change the path. I found the only way around this was to delete it and start over using the new path .
My computer is not searching for the xrefs correctly. Whenever I switch to another job and try to load an xref, the computer searches under the last job I worked on and nothing else. I have several folders listed as search paths but it just seems to be ignoring them. We never used to have this problem and I cannot figure out what has changed.

Opened drawings but cannot brows to select and save new path for xrefs. No brows button exists.
I am using acad LT 2012. So many unnecessary changes for so little benefit. Miss my old square screen also.
How do I update the path in simple terms nice and easy like previous versions of autocad. Storing xrefs in same directory is not an option. Reference manager does not appear to be part of acad LT 2012.
Drawings will not open in previous versions due to autodesk objects so using my trusty acad LT 2007 is also not an option.
Is there a way of showing only the location of the xrefs using a diesel expression (or otherwise)?
At the moment I'm using $(xrefs,5), but all the xrefs are in the same folder, and I only want that folder path shown once.
I.e., even if I have 5 xrefs, I just want one line showing the folder path of those xrefs.
I'm getting a problem regarding getting a document database. I've tested two alternatives:
Alternative1
doc = autoCadApp.DocumentManager.Open(fullpath);
autoCadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument = doc;
doc.LockDocument(DocumentLockMode.Write, null, null, false);
Database db = doc.Database
Alternative2
Database db = new Database(true, false);
db.ReadDwgFile(fullpath, FileShare.ReadWrite, false, string.Empty);
Because what I'm trying to do is modify the xref path of documents, and when i detach the xref and then attach the newer xref, if i access the database from the alternative 1, I don't get any error and the xref is updated correctly. But when I use the alternative number 2, when I attach a newer xref i get and ePermantlyErased exception. Shouldn't that be the same? By the way, I need to open the document silently that is why I'm using alternative number 2.
Is it possible to change the saved xref path without reattaching the xref.

here is the question,basicly, i have a folder named "A", and this folder include 5 DWGs, named 1,2,3,4,5. "1" is the main DWG, so, 2,3,4,5 is attached or overlayed to main file. First step im copying this folder from server, and im pasting to my desktop.Im doing some modifications on xref files, and im uploading "A" folder to my friend's partage from local company server. its allright till here..
my collegue is copying this same folder "A" and opening main file, and main file reading another "3" file from his desktop... this is the problem. file names are same, and it has to be this way. i want to make the main file read from its own folder. we are using 2008, 2012.
I wanted to attach an image as Xref to my drawing. I like to set my Xref's relative but in this occasion I get the error "Relative path cannot be assigned".
My version of AutoCAD is 2011 btw.
A part of an application I'm writing involves detaching a specific xref of known filename and path from an open drawing. I'm having a surprising amount of trouble figuring out how to do this or finding any examples "out there" (A'desk forum, the googles, A'desk developer's guide). I have the code for attaching an xref, but detaching is presenting unexpected problems.

View 3 Replies View RelatedPeriodically, when I try to create an XREF using the Relative Path option, C3D will tell me that it can't use the relative path. But if I then close the drawing and reopen it, the command works just fine. why C3D sometimes fails to do this, or why closing and reopening the drawing fixes the problem.
Never saw this problem before C3D 2012.
How i can change, path type of xref file from fullpath to no path
View 1 Replies View RelatedLooking for registry keys to control the default attachment type (Full, Relative, & No Path) for XRef, Image, PDF, & DWF in the attachment dialog. (I'm using C3D but this applies to plain ACad also).
For XRef the key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskAutoCADR18.2ACAD-A000:409ProfilesMyWorkSpaceDialogsXattachDialog
The value is "PathType" DWORD = 1 for relativepath
For Image the key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskAutoCADR18.2ACAD-A000:409ISM
The value is "ImagePathType" DWORD = 1 for relative path (NOTE: this value didn't exist, once I created it, C3D used the key for both storing the value when closing C3D the reading the value when presenting the attach dialog).
Looking for keys that control PDF & DWF attachments.
Any variables that would cause my XREF paths to change from Full Path to Relative Path when I save a drawing?

and now I am thinking I will have to do this manually, extract contours, and trim/extend my way to victory...I really would like to have this in a dynamic situation so I can make adjustments. Also, it would be adventageous to have the line actually follow the grade so I dont have to add curves in etc later...
