I am trying to delete records from a database file by using the erase event of the AutoCad Document Object, that is:
Private Sub AcadDocument_ObjectErased(ByVal ObjectID As Long)
My problem is that my database identifies objects by their handles in the drawing file. How do I convert the ObjectID into the object handle? I tried:
strHandle$ = Hex$(ObjectID)
but it didn't return the handle of the object that was being deleted
Question,
I have a list of blocks in a datagrid. When i double click a certain record it gets the objectid or handle.
Now i know how too highlight the object. But i don't want to highlight the entity but select it so i can change it's property's in the property pallet.
In the first screen shot you see the code i have. wicht highligts the record but the propperty pallet display no object selected.
But i want it to work like the next picture.
So the question is. When i know an entity's objectid or handle how do i select that entity programticly.
Messing around with MAP in Civil3d 2011, creating object data for sanitary sewer manholes, how do you handle object data for inverts since there could be multiple depths and directions. Whats the best way to set it up? And what kind of addtional info should there be. And when I connect to a shp file, how do you label with multiple lines, I seem to only be able to select 1 feature to label. When zoomed out would like to view structure name and when zoomed in view name, rim elevation, invert elevations.

I need to connect to specific instances of AutoCAD and Plant3D. The Running Object Table (ROT) only holds one instance so GetObject wont work.
I've tried getting the correct instance using the hwnd with the AccessibleObjectFromWindow function. I'am thinking the easiest way is to autoload a plugin to communicate with, maybe through a service.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently I have been modeling a dock with cranes and a container yard. Everything is going fine until I decided change the boxes -solid primitive- that represent the containers for a more detailed container model, also wish to change the color of these individually.
I've tried to simply copy/paste several container models, but the file became huge and the AutoCad performance is deeply affected. So I try inserting blocks of these models with the same effect, even I tried to convert the container model to a brep before paste in my overall model, in order to keep the file manageable, but no much difference.
How can i get what I want? Lot of containers (3270 more or less) who being capable of change their color randomly and individually.
Today i had to use hatch a lot, the mission was to hatch extended and and walls that not with different hatch types.
the first thing that came up is to use wipeuot under the hatch, but its lots of work and time waste (wipeout objects never been plot-friendly).

I have an application that saves the handle of some geometry on a DB.
The geometry is limked with database information, and each time the drawing is open the data is loaded to application via a Handle.
I used the Handle, because the is persistent, but one time when I open the drawing, the applications says the data doesn't match the drawing, I check it and it was the same drawing, when defining again the geometry I realize the handle had change.
I don't know why this happens, I only save and close the drawing. Is there some point the handles need to be recycled on the application?
Or what could happen that changed the handlers of the drawing.
It only happen one time, in one drawing, but I don't know if it can happen again.

I'm trying to employ a technique that I've used with SolidWorks. I'm working on a project with several engineers doing design work on a large assembly. The way I've seen this handled in a SolidWorks shop is to create a master assembly with sketches on the principal planes that define envelopes for sub assemblies, interface dimensions, and so on. Each engineer can have the master assembly in their sub assembly, as a guide. Where I've used this before, it has worked with integrating the sub assemblies later on.
Here's the complication: There are several different "families" of the product that require different dimensions on the master sketches. What I had hoped to do in Inventor was use view representations or level of detail representation to control the visibility of these "families" of master sketches. When an engineer includes the master assembly in his sub assembly he could then easily turn on the "family" he wants to see. But it turns out that neither view representations nor level of detail representations influence the visibility of sketches. (Position representations don't, either.) Sketches are either visible or not visible, regardless of which representation you're in.
Is there some way I can control the visibility of sketches, in groups?
I need to use the Handle of the cloned object during a DeepClone override but AutoCAD shuts down when I try to use it.
This is the best I can think of but it still boots me out when I try.
Public Overrides Function DeepClone(ByVal dbObject As DBObject, ByVal ownerObject As DBObject, ByVal idMap As IdMapping, ByVal isPrimary As Boolean) As DBObject Try Return MyBase.DeepClone(dbObject, ownerObject, idMap, isPrimary) Catch Finally CompileCloneObjects(dbObject.Handle.ToString, MyBase.DeepClone(dbObject, ownerObject, idMap, isPrimary).Handle.ToString) End Try End Function
I was wondering if there was a way to get the object handle ID to display when rolling over an object or failing that, to get the handle ID to show up in the object quick properties?
At the moment I have to select each object and type LIST to get this information and it's very time consuming if I want to check the handle IDs for multiple objects.
Is is possible to get the block handle from an attribute reference? I get the attribute reference from a previously stored attribute collection. I did try attref.BlockId.Handle.Value.ToString(), but it gives a different value, not the block's id.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI wrote code for an application that stores links to lines and blocks in dictionaries using handles. The routines work well and I can manipulate the data marvelously, but if one of the lines or blocks get erased the whole danged opera falls apart. I knew this when I wrote the routines and have always been careful about using the ERASE command, as a matter of fact, I considered disabling it.
I am trying to make the package more robust. I have been experimenting with attaching a reactor (:vlr-erased) to the objects which fires when the object is erased. Unfortunately it fires before I can retrieve the handle of the object so that I can remove the references from the dictionaries. The only thing that I can retrieve once ERASE fires is the ObjectID. I can't seem to find a Visual Lisp routine to convert this value to a handle, does one exist? Is there an ObjectID collection that has any references in it?

I've got 1800 attributes that need to be numbered from 1 to 1800 from left to right.
I got a Lisp that can do that but the only thing is when I select it with selection window, he wil sort all atributes on their unique handle code. So I have the first 40 attributes going from left to right with groups of numbers at the wrong place like 1-10, 31-40, 21-30, 11-20 instead of 1-40.
This is because when you copy an attribute he wil place a new unique handle coded attribute and the copy contains the previous handle code.
But if I select them one by one from left to right and run my lisp it just works fine cause it seems it doesnt look at the handle code to place the numbers in that order.
So is there a way that I can select multiple attributes, like I'm selecting them one by one from left to right, so I can bypass this attribute handle code?
I have a lot of RAW+JPG pictures (shot as RAW+JPG or previously converted from RAW to JPG with other programs), when importing them to Lightroom, I can choose to treat them as the same picture or as separate pictures.
At first glance, they should of cause be treated as the same picture (because they are the same picture), and they do indeed appear as "RAW+JPG" in LR, but how do I:
- View the JPG? (not critical, but it would be nice to be able to compare the JPG with the LR results)- Add metadata (tags, title, caption, etc.) to the JPG file and not just the RAW file? (I have enabled "write metadata to file")
If treated as separate pictures, they behave as one would expect, but it is not that convenient to have two of the same pictures side-by-side.
- Can I auto-stack RAWs and JPGs?- Can I write metadata (tags, title, caption, etc.) to the entire stack in one go?
1. I need JPG versions of my pictures for e-mail, web, viewing on my TV etc.
2. I REALLY don't want to be dependent on LR in the future. If I have spend hours and hours fine tuning my pictures, and only have them saved as RAW, I would need LR till the day I die. And it doesn't end there, my kids, my grand kids and so on, would also need LR to view the pictures (at lease in the quality I would like them to be viewed).
