is there any way to check the entity selected by NonInteractivePickPoint? iwant to get the ownerid if the item selected is a 3d or 2d vertex. How is it written in vb.net?
View 3 RepliesI would like to add additional entities to the selection if any of the selected entities contains a an xdata value.
If I put the condition into the ImpliedSelectionChanged reactor I imagine will probably loop back on itself.
I filtering for objects based on layer as shown below.How do i know which type the entity is like whether it is arc or line or circle..
Dim ss As SelectionSet
Dim idarray As ObjectId() = ss.GetObjectIds()
Dim id AsObjectId
For Each id In idarray
Dim entity As = trLocal.GetObject(id, OpenMode.ForRead, True)
Next id
I would like to iterate all entity in Block and display the type of the object. For example: LINE, BLOCK REFERENCE, LWPOLYLINE, TEXT . . . .

I would like to determine the Proxy ObjectType returned from Constraint.EntityOne (i.e. If oConst.EntityOne = kWorkPointProxyObject Then ....)

how IDispatch works.
Dim oAsmDef As AssemblyComponentDefinitionSet oAsmDef = oAsmDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim oConst As AssemblyConstraint
For Each oConst In oAsmDef.Constraints'Below will print the Enum 67120288 (kEdgeProxyObject) or 67119520 (kFaceProxyObject) if
'it is constrained. It will Err if a Work or Sketch Proxy Object is Constrained Debug.Print oConst.EntityOne Debug.Print oConst.EntityTwo Next
I am looking for a function to print out the entire entity list of the selected entity...
so... walking down through the entity data... print out what it finds... any time it encounters an entity name... then do an entget and print that out too.
Is it possible to find the type of a browsernode?
In my code I can only see that the type is a browsernode.
Should I use Browsernodedefinition to get the type?
Maybe it's not possible, so I can stop trying.
Dim oPane As BrowserPane = oDoc.BrowserPanes.ActivePane Dim tNode As BrowserNode = oPane.TopNode Dim oNode As BrowserNode Dim oNodes As BrowserNodesEnumerator = tNode.BrowserNodes For Each oNode In oNodes MessageBox.Show(oNode.Type) Next

I am looking for some code that would allow me to select a MTEXT Entity - or other entity - (as the DEFAULT option) but also to allow me to type in some text manually or to pick a point in the drawing. Something that would present the user with:
"Select an object or [P to pick a point]" or
"Select MTEXT or [M to type].
I can write some code to type in text manually as the default option and get the second option to select entity using get string and then write some condition of if code but I don't know how to do it having entsel as default option.
The spell check works, almost. when I type a word that spell check does not recognize, I get the red underline, but when I choose to add it to dictionary, no dice. if I ignore, close the editor and reopen, the red underline is there.

How can I iterate through and check the object type of all objects in model space? And... then delete them if they are certain types... like lines, circles, polylines, text, mtext, etc?
Is there a way to determine the type of ACAD object that the user selected? I need to retrieve the value from either a dimension or text. The info could be in either format so the lisp routine needs to determine what was selected so the correct vla-get command is used.
Once I determine what the object is I can use an if statement to retrieve the value.
;user selects the object
(setq dimobj (vlax-ename->vla-object(car(entsel))))
;If ACAD object is a dimension do this.
(setq dimvalue (vla-get-textoverride dimobj))
;If ACAD object is text do this.
(setq dimvalue (vla-get-textstring dimobj))
want to upated attributes in proxy entity is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn previous versions, when in the file requester, with the File Type field focused, I could type the first letter of the format I wanted (ex. J for Jpeg), and it would select it. That was a nice little feature that sped up the saving process (...didn't have to open up the File Type pulldown, and scroll through the selections until I found the one I wanted).
Is that now gone in CS3 (extended), or is there some setting I can change to get that back?
I am doing a routine to break a polyline in different points.
I do this by prompt with SendCommand.
string strHandle1 = id.Handle.ToString(); string strEntName1 = "(handent "" + strHandle1 + "")"; string strCommand = "_BREAK" + "
" + strEntName1 + "
" + String_point + "
" + String_point + "
"; Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute(strCommand, true, false, true);
However, I need the new Id of polyline to continue break in other point.
I have tried this:
ObjectId idNewEntity = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.EntLast();
to get the last entity created, but with "break" doesn´t consider new entity created. Then, How can I get the new Id after "break"?

I need to export points from 3D map as a .shp file so I can bring them into Maya and have them line up exactly where they need to be based on their coordinates. The points line up pretty close to right in map 3d, and they have a style assigned to them. When I go to the Map --> Tools --> Export, I choose .shp as the file output, and go through and select the layer I need to export. When I've got everything set up, I get an error message saying "no entity to export." I have searched on the internet for this error but not a lot comes up. I'm not sure what I'm missing in order to make the points export.

I'm trying to add an attribute to an entity, however it seems that the AttributeDefinition requires a Point3d and as such appear in my modelspace. I don't want this, i just wanted it to appear as an attribute with a value when i click on my entity, is there any way of making it so that i does not add into modelspace?
BlockTable bt = (BlockTable)trans.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead);for (int i = 0; i < prSelectionResult.Value.Count; i++){ // Get the entity the user had selectedEntity ent = (Entity)trans.GetObject(prSelectionResult.Value[i].ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite);if (ent.GetType() == typeof(BlockReference)) { // Add attribute to layerBlockReference blockRef = (BlockReference)ent;.

I have a method DrawMLeaderLine(Database db, Transaction tr, Point3d point, string text) that draws me a MLeader line to the given point with the given text as annotation. The MLeader line points to the midpoint of a Line entity. What I need is a binding between the Line midpoint and the MLeader line, so when I move or resize the Line, the MLeader line should follow! I already tried to solve that, using constraints, but it doesn't work for Leaders.
This is my code...
public static MLeader DrawMLeaderLine(Database db, Transaction tr, Point3d point, string text) { Point3d mTextLocation = point + new Vector3d(5, 5, 0); BlockTableRecord btr = tr.GetObject(db.CurrentSpaceId, OpenMode.ForWrite) as BlockTableRecord; MText mText = new MText(); mText.SetDatabaseDefaults(); mText.SetContentsRtf(text); [code]........
will be called from a different class...
Line line = DrawingUtil.DrawLine(doc.Database, tr, closestPoints.Item1, closestPoints.Item2); //Get midpoint of line double midPointX = (line.EndPoint.X + line.StartPoint.X) / 2.0d; double midPointY = (line.EndPoint.Y + line.StartPoint.Y) / 2.0d; Point3d midPointOfLine = new Point3d(midPointX, midPointY, 0); //Draw the leaderline MLeader leaderLine = DrawingUtil.DrawMLeaderLine(doc.Database, tr, midPointOfLine, "Connection");

View 6 Replies View RelatedI commonly send serialized data to .net functions.
One of the items I send in the entity name of something as a string.
Once my .net function is done, it constructs a resultbuffer to send back to lisp.
I had been doing this:
AcDb.ObjectId id = new ObjectId(Convert.ToInt32(ename));
but the Convert function is throwing an exception.
I do not recall this happening before, but forget if I ever tested it.

For some strange reason i'm suddenly unable to select more than one entity just by clicking with my mouse.
for eg if i select a line and try to select a second one ,the first automatically is deselected.
i'm only able to select multiple entities using the" cross windowing" or 'fulyl windowing' an entity.
this is only a recent occurence and i suspect i may have inadvertently pressed some key.
Can you add an attribute to a non-blocked entity? Basically, I want to "name" plines.
In case I'm going about this wrong, let me ask the question another way. I'm just getting used to the wonders of attributes & data extraction (I love it!). Right now I have blocks with attributes that I use data extraction to count. I also need some way to calculate length. These blocks represent electrical devices - then I need to calculate the amount of wire used to connect the devices.
So now I use a pline to join the devices, get the length of that polyline, and then manually enter that length into the spreadsheet from the data extraction. But...I'm thinking if I can link an attribute to a pline, then I can include that in the data extraction and automate it. But I don't see how I can use a block for this, since the pline will be completely variable and needs to be "custom-fit" for each circuit.
I have a client that just started using C3D 2010. When I sent him a topographic survey with contour lines (I am also using C3D 2010) he called me and asked if there was a way to select an individual contour line and have it display the elevation in the 'properties' dialog box. I have not been able to find an answer for him.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
For AutoCAD 2006, I have an entity that I am changing properties of, but I cannot figure out how to set the colormethod to "By Layer." I am sure that I am missing something, but I am at my wit's end.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm borrowing from the samples library in the Inventor:
Public Sub GetSingleSelection()
' Get a feature selection from the user
Dim oObject As Object
Set oObject = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(kPartFeatureFilter, "Pick a feature")
MsgBox "Picked: " & oObject.Name
End Sub
Works fine, and is fairly simple, but the problem I'm having is if I press the escape key after starting the command, but before making my selection, I'm not able to start the command again.
I realize from my searching that using the Selection (Simple) sample allows for an interrupt, with some modification, was just wondering if there was something similar for this simpler selection option.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get either location, insertion point, or center of an entity that is inside of a block. I'm getting subentity using the Editor.GetNestedEntity. I create a FullSubEntityPath for highlighting, that works well, and I have looked at using GetSubEntityGeometricExtents using that same subentitypath, but not having any luck, I can't seem to find any documentation on using that method.
I know I can get the location of the owner, then calculate the location of the entity based off of that, but I'm looking for an easy way now, if that don't work out, I can do the lengthy approach.
How could I prompt a "two points" line entity from the user?
Something similar to " Editor.GetPoint() " ??
I was trying to use Editor.GetPoint() method two times. But this option does not show the preview of a line.
I also tried a combination of
doc.SendStringToExecute("line ");
db.ObjectAppended += new ObjectEventHandler(LineAppended);
but this option triggers LineAppended event handler as soon as I create the first point of a line. So it does not work.
