I have a situation where it would be expedient for me to be able to bind only one instance of an xref and leaving the others intact. I have to do this for several different x-refs. Is this possible in Autocad 2008? If I use the xref manager I can only see an option to bind the entire reference.

Im using autocad 2008 and i'm having difficulty in binding xref. i've been usign autocad for 3years now but sad to say, it's my first time to try binding xref.
So here's the scene, got xref file, then bind it, and then the whole xref drawing disappear but the xref filename is still in the list at the xref pallette? What should i do?
I'm trying to insert a new instance of a X-Ref already present on the drawing. If i use Database.AttachXref(path, name) I receive "ref NAME has already been defined. Using existing definition." on the command bar. I've tried to retrieve the ObjectId of the X-Ref definition from the X-Ref name, but my code don't work. Where is the error?
Here's my
Private Sub AttachXRef(path As String, name As String)
Dim Doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
Dim Db As Database = Doc.Database Dim pPtRes As PromptPointResult
Dim pPtOpts As PromptPointOptions = New PromptPointOptions("")

Sometimes when I drag a new symbol instance to my artboard and resize it, the instance looses it alignement with the pixel grid.
This happens despite the fact that...
I checked the box for pixel grid alignement when I created the documentthe symbol option is set for align to pixel gridthe original shape in the symbol is aligned to pixel grindthe original shape has the align to pixel grid check box in the transform panel checked
So why when I resize the symbol instance does it break the pixel grid alignmnet and result in a blurred 1px stroke?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing ACA 2012 and Windows 7 Pro x64. I have a drawing with two viewports. In one I'm showing the electrical layers and the base floor plan. In the other I'm showing casework and the base floor plan. All of the layers are contained in one xref so some are frozen in each viewport. When I bind that xref using the insert method (bindtype=1) some of the electrical layers show in the casework plan. I've tried everything I know of but I can't figure out how to surpress this behavior. If I use bindtype=0 the problem goes away but I end up with ugly layer names.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know that in ACAD you can use the xref manager to see where the actual file for the xref resides on your computer/server/etc. What I'm curious about is whether or not the inverse action is possible. Can you somehow access the file (not the output sheet where it's being xref-ed) and see what other files are using it as an xref?
I've come in on a project that is nearing completion and have been assigned the task of "cleaning up the project folder." Unfortunately, there are a ton of files in the different folders that are no longer in use on the final output sheets and I need to keep the ones still in use and archive the ones that are no longer needed. What I've been doing is going through those sheets and reviewing the xref manager for each sheet to see which files are actually put onto those sheets and making a physical checklist from which to organize my findings. Once the checklist is made, I then archive all the files that are no longer being used.
Is it possible to run a lisp which can extract all the xref names, make a layer with that name and then change the xref on the layer? I have got a similar routine from earlier posts but it doesn't work if any xrefs inserted in paper space (works fine on model space). could change this routine allowing to change the layer of xref in paper space too.

I am using (trying to anyway) a :VLR-xrefSubcommandReloadItem reactor. My only question is how to get the xref/block name from the 'reactor callback data' Object ID.
I am ultimately trying to pass it to (vla-get-xrefdatabase ....), but I cannot figure out how to turn the second parameter from the reactor callback data into something I can use - for example the second parameter returned may be "65" or some other number.

when you bind an xref the link disappears from the xref manager.
is it possible to bind an xref, but preserve that link in the xref manager? i realize that will lead to two copies of the same object in the drawing (one xref, plus the new block). everyone's okay with that happening.
I've been teaching myself inventor over the past couple of months so I can design the rear suspension setup for my car.
I've got the IRS modelled with enough detail to show my engineer the concept, but I want the suspension to "work", ie each link will move as the suspension flexes.
I'm attaching the arms (blue, dark green, red and yellow) to the cradle (orange) using the joint command, and selecting "rotational". This works fine and the arms can swivel about a single axis as they should. But as soon as I attach the knuckle (lime green) to the other end of all the arms using the same type of joint (except the joint with the blue lower control arm, which is a ball joint), nothing will move.
I understand that in real life, each joint has a bit of "slop" in it, allowed by rubber bushings, which prevents the whole setup from binding.
To my uneducated mind, the solution would lie in one of 3 methods: Convert all the joints to ball joints (I'd like to avoid this if possible) Add some kind of flexible rubber bushing to all of the joints (probably not possible) Get rid of the rotational joint constraints altogether and somehow mate all the parts to each other using work points, rather than a cylindrical bolt and eyelet, so that each arm has full range of movement in both the X and Y axes.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'had just met another matter for my Add-on. I noticed that when I instance a new drawing, while a first one is opened, when I load a new Form, this one keep all first drawing's properties. What could happen?
For example, I would like to add the layer list on a ComboBox.
My source:
Private Sub LayerBox_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load '***************************' '* Initialisation LayerBox *' '***************************' Using acTrans = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() acLyrTbl = acTrans.GetObject(acCurDb.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) For Each acObjId As ObjectId In acLyrTbl acLyrTblRec = acTrans.GetObject(acObjId, OpenMode.ForRead) ComboBox1.Items.Add(acLyrTblRec.Name) Next acObjId End Using End Sub
This source works, but if i instance a new form on a new drawing, the first drawing's layer list is kept and the new layer list on the second drawing is ignored!
I have created a block which contains various part numbers, with a description and some other bla bla, with a total number box, I issue this to clients to make the specification of product much easier. My idea was for people to use the quick select command to find how many instances there is of an object within the drawing.
As this is a slightly tedious process, as you have to physically type the part number then mentally take one instance off as it counts the number in the legend block as well.
Is there an addition/summary of object instances command I could use to make this process more dynamic and straightforward for the recipient/user of the block I issue?
I call an instance of an inventor using inventor api ,vb.net code. here is my code

I'm getting a "NullReferenceException. Object reference not set to an instance of an object" using:
For Each SetEntry As DBDictionaryEntry In SetRootDict Dim SetEntryDict As DBDictionary = CType(SetEntry.Value.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead), DBDictionary) Next
I have the same lines letter for letter in a different procedure and referring the same unchanged root dictionary where it works fine.
I've run into to some trouble when trying to create an instance of AutoCAD.

I want to create some modules for a platform deck. The modules are made of C5x6.7 channels in one direction, L2x2x3/16 angle stiffeners in the other direction, and 3/16" deck plate on top.
My "drivable" parameters will be length and width.
The modules will all be different sizes, so I need to be able to have every instance of the assembly be different.
The workflow I was attempting to do before I got stuck was this:
1. Create a skeleton part (just a sketch) with Length and Width parameters.
2. Insert in an assembly and use frame generator to build the structural shapes (channels and angles)
3. Insert another part (the 3/16" plate) that can reference the length and width and adjust to be the correct module size.
Is there a way to make parts in an assembly all follow the same parameters? More importantly, can each instance of this assembly show up differently and be adjustable when I place these modules in my main assembly?
I don't know much about iParts - but it looks like an iPart lets you choose from predefined dimensions - I want something that I can custom input any size I need.
