AutoCad :: Duplicate Definition Of Block ArchTick (Copy / Paste)
Apr 10, 2013I've got a drawing from a client, I've created a layer and I'm adding MTEXT to the drawing. Rather than creating a new MTEXT every time, I copy and paste the previous one and edit.
It works for a bit then out of the blue, it will give me that error after there's about 16 copy/pastes.
_pasteclip Duplicate definition of block _ArchTick ignored.
I don't understand what _ArchTick is or how I can get around this error?
AutoCAD .NET :: Error While Changing Block Definition Of An Block Reference
Oct 21, 2013I'm trying to change block the definition of an block reference.
I did something like this:
blockreference.BlockTableRecord = newBlock.ObjectId;
In most cases this works well. However I found a case that it not work as well. When I try to change the definition from a new block that I have created in my test DWG, it disappears from the model.
AutoCad :: Parameters In Block Definition
Sep 10, 2013I have a question regarding parameters in a block definition, or more specifically how to constrain parameters. I have attached a PDF showing exactly what I am working on. Basically I have an arm for a monitor which I need to add some parameters to. I need to be able to have a point that I can grab where the "primary grab" is located, and when I grab that I need the arm to pivot at the indicated pivot point, but be restrained by the first arm that is constrained to the circle. Is this possible to do in AutoCAD?

Dec 7, 2011how I can get VBA to insert/redefine a block reference from another file into a block (of the same name) that already exists in the target drawing?
I've tried using the insertblock method but it produces a 'filer error' - As a bonus point, it'd would also be good to be able to retrieve the contents of the blocks collection in the source drawing in some clever way other than opening it (a bit like browsing using the design centre) ?

AutoCAD .NET :: View Block Definition From External Program?
Aug 20, 2012I need to view a block definition from an out-of-process app (written in C#).
The app uses True View Acctrl to as a viewer.
It works fine for whole dwgs, but when it comes to viewing just one block definition' the best I could come up with was:
<pseudo code>
start a new Autocad instance;
open the dwg in Autocad;
perform a Wblock of the block definition to some temporary file;
open and view the file in the Acctrl;
erase the temporary file;
</pseudo code>
It seems clumsy though.
Is there any API for doing this? (preferably not higher than Acad 2008)
AutoCAD VB :: Updating Block Reference After Making Changes To Definition
Aug 23, 2013I have a small vba sub wich changes the color and layer of all entities inside a block. It seems to work pretty well for the majority of blocks, but then if I try that on a dynamic block, the definition is correctly altered, but the references aren't updated...
I know for a fact that the definition has been correctly modified because if I type bedit, I can see the definition is modified. Then, in the block editor, if I save the block, the references are correctly updated.
How to force references to update after I made the modifications inside the definition ?
I searched for methods within the VBA Reference and I tried blockRef.Update but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

AutoCad :: Creating Dynamic Block With Attribute Definition
Jun 10, 2013I'm having trouble getting my attribute definitions to work with my blocks.
I'm trying to create a tag that can flip around (dynamic) and have a tag number easily entered (attribute).
I notice that I could only get the attribute definition to work during a drawing insertion is when I wblocked out my block and inserted that drawing file. I was not able to insert the drawing file that had the block in it.
I can't seem to make a dynamic block drawing file, and then insert that dynamic block drawing file if I want the attribute to work..

Line type definition. The length of the line before the first shape is set to a specific value, the length after the first shape is the same value (the shape should sit in the middle of the two values if they are equal), but the position varies when the line is stretched to a length anything other than a multiple of the original length.
why this happens and how to force the first shape to stay in the specific value (length from start of line) position.
AutoCAD .NET :: Linetype Definition Inside A DWG
May 27, 2011Is it possible to examine the linetype definition stored in a drawing. I would like to update linetypes that use an old SHX file with newer definitions but because the name of the linetype can change (RENAME or XREF merging) the only way to reliably do this is to look at the definition (e.g. A,7.25,[LINE5,old.shx],9.25,-5) of a linetype and update it (e.g. A,7.25,[LINE5,new.shx],9.25,-5). Is this possible with .NET or LSP?

I am not the best, at writing computer language, so I know my issue is operator error, and me being the operator; I don't know how to solve it. I changed the ending of the file to ".txt" so it would upload, I couldn't get it too attach in the ".lin" format.
On another note, I'm extremely distracted right now from work, after Yahoo flashed there was a shooting incident at Texas A&M Univ. It makes a person wonder, "What is going on, with all the gun violence lately?"
