im a little puzzled about this one - it seems i cannot access the PLOTTERMANAGER with the version of autoCAD i am running.
Ive tried the 3 methods listed - and all 3 methods just take me to an explorer window where the .PC3 files are stored.
I would like to access PLOTTERMANAGER to create a new PC3 file.
Just loaded 2013. Of course right away I get an error. "Internet access is required to access the Help" Well as you can see I have internet access.

I've run into a problem with my "Jet.oledb.4" connection string not working for x64 machines. I've done some research and found out a few things, but am still confounded.
The code was written on a x86 XP machine with vb.net 2010 express. AutoCAD will load the dll just fine on x64 machines. Everything will work except the connection to the database. I tried installing the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable for x64, but couldn't because the MS Office installed is x86!! Instead I installed the x86 version, but got the same unhandled exception at runtime.
Do I need to have the current x86 MS Office uninstalled and then install the x64 version of MS Office on those machines? Is it that the code is compiled as x86? If so, how can I compile to x64? I didn't see any options in settings, and haven't been able to find any examples.
The thing I really don't understand is that the same connection string ( "Jet.oledb.4") works in an old VBA routine on all machines!!
My company has an excel program that extracts data from AutoCAD title blocks, processes it, turns it into printable spradsheet BOM's, and uploads the data to our ERP software. We're currently starting a transition form AutoCAD to Inventor. I've been asked to figure out how to make our excel program work with Inventor.
I'm hoping (but not expecting) to be able to change some lines around in the section that deals with extracting data and get it to work that way. I'm pretty sure of what needs to change, but I'm not so sure what it needs to change to. Does anyone know of any resources that someone who just started programming a couple weeks ago (me) could look at to learn more about how Inventor interfaces with VBA?
The other possible route I see is to export drawings from Inventor into AutoCAD.
The excel program reads block attributes. I've read that Inventor's version of attributes is prompted entry text, however, when I export Inventor drawings with prompted entry text lines that match the attribute lines from the old AutoCAD block they come in different. They're not editable inside of AutoCAD and the excel program doesn't see them. I haven't the slightest idea what's happening here.
A third way would be to use Inventor's iProperties, but there again, I don't know where to find information for the coding side.
Have a problem seeing my quick access toolbar, there seems to be a white shading over most of it, how I can get rid of shading ? Not a display problem with my screen as only happens in Autocad ! See the attached screenshot .
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have previously written an assembly (netload) application for our document management system for our office. This assembly loaded a sheet set file (dst) and read / manipulated / saved and exported data. It was very slow.
I was wondering before I progress a reimplementation if it is possible to have external application access to the dst file using the various dll files and lib files (autodesk shared / application root and object arx 2010 - 2012), and if so, which ones.
I have tried to use the same references I used for my 2010 / 2012 netload assembly but I am receiving errors like "FileNotFoundException was unhandled" I belive I have traced this to the issue that I need more or specific references in addition to:
acdbmgd.dll (.net)
acmgd.dll (.net)
acsmcomponents18 1.0 type library (com)
autodesk.autocad.interop.common (com)
the actual error message when I open a dst file is:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException was unhandled Message=Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {DA236FEC-D990-4825-95FA-651AF4C2B407} failed due to the following error: 8007007e The specified module could not be found.

I would like to know if it is possible to save changes directly in the source data base file (Access) from Auto Cad Map.
I have a polyline draw (Footpath network). I have converted this draw to shapefile, and then I connect it to the Access Data Base via ODBC with a join.
The problem is that this shapefile is not definitive, and it is probably that some people will need to edit and create new features, and I don´t know how to do it.
Which would be the best option to do this? It would be better if I work with the dwg drawings and the data sources?.
I've found a number of articles outlining the process of extracting data from AutoCAD to an Excel file, but I'm wondering if it's possible to do the reverse. For my work I have a number of databased already established in Excel and am able to create information tables rather quickly that access these databases. Currently, after creating a table in Excel I then copy, paste, scale to the right size in AutoCAD.
There's gotta be a way to create a table in AutoCAD that simply accesses this information in Excel and just updates automatically. I produce a number of CAD drawings off of a template daily so this process has become quite the bottleneck.

Is there any way you can access an AutoCAD file embedded in an IDW by using VBA?I have an IDW with about 100 sheets; it would like to control which file is embedded in each of the sheets.
The best would be to use linked files but I do not know how to make certain files visible on certain sheets.
Is there a way to access the object of the last entity modified.

I'm a vb.net developer and i've a project to do for my job (my company is building laser machines). So i have to use autocad for drawing and, inside autocad, add a vb.net project to transfer all coordinates to a laser.
There's no problem for the most of object, but i've some difficulties with the hatch. I explain.
I can get the coordinates for hatching with the " . explose " (it gave me lines and after that, i can have all the points x and y)
But i need to "Rotate the hatch" (for making some sorts of holes in metal by example)
(Ex : Hatch angle start at 0 degrees, then 45, then 90, etc... etc...)
How can i rotate this hatch in vb.net ? (The hatch must not change on the autocad screen, so i use a clone for getting lines). I've find a method for getting the pattern angle (ex : MyHatch.patternAngle) but it returns me strange angle (like 0,00812 etc...)
And a other problem is that the origins of hatch angle seems based on 0,0 (so, when i change angle, it change from 0,0 and not the center of the Hatch)

For a while now whenever I open a new assembly the default is place from content centre, I use the drop-down and select place.
Today I needed place from content centre and it just doesn't come up.
It is loaded/automatic in the addins.
If I open my projects, in the bottom right corner where I would usually click to acess my installed libraries, I click but it does nothing!
I also noticed studio and BIM are greyed out, but I have started to play with Showcase so not really a problem. I need to set up a read/write library soon, so it's going to be a problem.
I was put in charge of modifying The commun library of our content center. Later today, i found out that one of our draftmen played around our library and modifying some of the preset that i setup.
My question is: What can be done to limit access (Putting it at Read-only) to certain library for certain users without limiting my own access?
Also, I'm pretty sure its not possible but ill ask anyway, is it possible to know who modify those library and when?

I have a model with two Workpoints and have to automatically create a dimension for these workpoints in a drawing.
The drawing has two views, a basic view and a section view.
The dimension of the workpoints has to be in the section view.
When doing this by hand, I would select the section view in the model browser, select the view's model, and then select the models centermarks and make them visible in only this view. After this I can select the CenterMarks for the dimension command.
When I look at the API, the workPoints are represented inside the drawing as CenterMarks, but the CenterMarks are children of the sheet and not children of a view !
And there are only two CenterMarks on the sheet, when I manually can select four (two in each of the views).
How can I programmatically access the centerMarks in a specified view ?
I'm experimenting with treadsafe progressbar, that would allow me to stop the process.
