AutoCAD .NET :: Divide (Measure) Polyline With Certain Interval
Jul 16, 2012Is it possible to divide a polyline into multiple segments with a certain interval?I am looking for something similar to "Measure" command.But I want to do this programmatically.
SendStringToExcute("measure ");
I need the point objects created by "measure' command in order to draw a new polyine with them.Of course, "SendStringToExcute" does not return such object collection.If you could provide me with C# (or .NET ObjectARX 2010) code snippet.
AutoCad :: Copy Text From Paper Space And Paste Into Model Space

AutoCad :: Referencing Title Block From Model Space Into New Tab Of Paper Space
Jul 11, 2011I just started a new job and am struggling to set everything up the way my old company had AutoCad configured. My old company actually had people that were involved in writing the code for AutoCad on the payroll, so hopefully what I'm looking for isn't some intense computer programming issue.
In short, I am trying to be able to create a generic title block in model space, and reference that title block into paper space of a new drawing without having to create a new tab or anything first. A new paper space tab is automatically created upon attaching the new title block. My old company had its own custom menu bar with lots of custom commands, so the work flow would go something like this: "Old company name" in menu bar -> "Insert" -> "Title Blocks" -> "24x36 title block" (or whatever size we wanted to use obv). Once the desired title block size was selected, a new tab would be created in paper space with the title block as an xref, and a copy of the generic title block was saved to the main folder containing drawings of the project, and could be edited with the specific project info from there.
Is there a semi-easy way to do this, or is this a coding issue that a non-programmer such as myself might have some difficulty doing?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Auto Update Of XY Coord In Model Space Onto Paper Space (Layout Tab) Block
Nov 5, 2013I've tried doing a block that automatically updates the X and Y coordinates from its moveable leader. I can get it to work in model space or paper space. But my problem is I want it to work in PS, but update with the MS coordinates through the viewport.
I can get it to update, by LISP, by picking a point and passing the points to the blocks attributes. At the moment I have a LISP when actioned it locks the viewports, activates the viewport, and asks you to select a point. Once selected it de-activates the viewport (going back into layout tab) then asks which block you want to update. Where you now select the block and it updates the coordinates. I.e. manually pick the point in MS, switch to PS and then manually pick the block. Then I have to manually modify the leader to the correct location.
I'm hoping that I can (In PS) move the end of the leader to snap to a position in MS and the coord updates to reflect the correct MS coordinates. I'm thinking that maybe this can't be done automatically and that I maybe can move the leader but I'm not sure how I can do it without running a LISP to update the block?
I'd be happy moving the leader then just running a single command and the leader coordinates updating without having to select the points and the block again.
I've attached the block showing the auto update of the attributes (fields).
AutoCad :: Changing Of Units In Model Space Does Not Affect Length Of Line In Paper Space
Dec 26, 2012Wile using acad2011...
In model space I set the units form my dwg (cm), draw a line (100units). Next i go to paper space, create a viewport. When the viewport scale is set to 1:1 the ploted line is 100mm in length (not 100cm). Why is this so? How should I correct this? Changing of units in model space does not effect the length of the line in paper space.

Jan 11, 2013I have a weird problem with exploding block reference with vb.net as follows.
When I use BR.explode(DBObjectCollection), and append the entities in the object collection to model space,
the 3d Polylines inside the block reference do not get appended and I do not get any kind of error. The reason for this eludes me as of yet. (remember, simple polylines and lines and other objects do get appended to model space)
When I use BR.explodetoOwnerSpace(), the block reference explodes as it normally is expected to, but then I have no way to collect the objects from the exploded BR.

AutoCAD .NET :: Block Insertion Along Closed Polyline
Aug 3, 2011I've been using the admittedly pieced together code in order to insert border blocks around a closed polyline. Yhe problem I'm having is that when the Block angle is say "zero" the block is inserted the same way both on top and below the polyline. Since the blocks surround the polyline the blocks on the downside should have an additional 180 degree rotation. How to deduct that the portion of the polyline is in a certain quadrant and adjust the insertion angle as necc? I 'm not sure thats even the best approach.

AutoCAD .NET :: Find Nearest Polyline With Block?
Nov 7, 2012I'm using VB.NET to write a routine that autmatically calculates the area of the polyline nearest to a block (the pline surrounds the block) an then adds the area to the blocks attribute.
I managed to write the program to do this manually for a selected pline and block.
How can I automatically select a pline nearest to the selected blocks' insertion point?
AutoCad :: Polyline And Accurate Block Insertion?
Mar 5, 2012I have a polyline which consists of straight lines and curves in 2D enviroment.
I want to extract some coordinates. I usually use block refferences and "dataextraction" command. However, the problem is as follows:
I need to mark many things along the polyline's way at no constant intervals (not possible to "measure" it) If I have "osnap" on, I can't hit the spots I like for obvious reasons. If I have "osnap" off, I can't place the object accurately on polyline's way.
So, what I need is: how to allign multiple blocks to a said polyline. Allignment needs to be done as accurate as possible, prefferably perpendicularly to closest tangent of polyline.
AutoCAD .NET :: Convert Line To Polyline
Oct 28, 2012I want to convert a line (Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Line) to a polyline (Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Polyline).
Currently I get all the properties from the line, create a new polyline with it and delete the line. I fear data may get lost this way. What is the best way to convert a line to a polyline?
// Line properties:// Color.// Layer.// Linetype.// Linetype scale.// Plot style.// Lineweight.// Hyperlink.// Thickness.// Material.// Start X.// Start Y.// Start Z.// End X.// End Y.// End Z.// Start point.// End point.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Explode Polyline / Polygon Within Block
Jul 23, 2012I would like to explode a polygone I've created within a block.
But I get the "_amexplode This command is not allowed while the REFEDIT command is active."
Um so, I have to explode the block, explode the ployline/polygone and recreate the block.
Or, I could minus the polygone from the block set, save the block, explode the polygone, reopen the block and add the lines back in.
I don't see an explode option in the "pedit" options.
Am I missing something here, is there more than one explode command now? It worked in a previous version.
AutoCad :: Label For Polyline Width In Dynamic Block
Jan 14, 2011I have a dynamic block with several look-up values for the polylines width and I'd like to label them (as a text in the drawing over the block), and be able to move this label where best fits. I've being trying inside the block, but then it can't be moved outside of it. I tried MText with field outside the block, but it has to be applied in many one by one.
Should I use the block itself (how?) or there is a lisp for this? I have a lisp for bearing and distance for lines, which places the bearing text above them and the distance text below those lines, no matter what angle is. It will place in the middle and in the same angle as the line. I edited this lisp file, but how to change it for my purpose, as I don't understanding all the codes inside of it.

Jun 19, 2013I have encountered the paste as block command of using AutoCAD 2012. i exploded the block and modified. After that i select the objects that i exploded and want to create another block again. I could do it before now most of the time when i select the objects and used the commond option " copy with base point" . When i select the base poing it took about 7-8 seconds( which is supposed to be very long) and in the commond line it display as Img-1. After i selected the base point..again it will take a few seconds and display the following Img-2 & Img-3. And my autocad performance is really slow nowadays. Any option i can do for faster speed? Especially whenever i select the object i hv to wait about 3 seconds.

Feb 20, 2013how a drawing was exported from another program. My problem is: the PEDIT command won't give me the option to convert a line "I" add to a pline.
PEDITACCEPT: 0 or 1, problem remains
It is a drawing from an house designer, I am adding structural members and notes over the drawing. I could xref, but I need to move/erase some of their notes as well. It becomes cumbersome to switch to the source dwg, edit & save, move to current dwg and refresh, to have the note where needed.
This is a pretty strange to me drawing file. It seems that a bunch of system variables are altered and hopefully it doesn't migrate over to files originating from my machine.
AutoCAD LT :: How To Turn Polyline Into Ordinary Line
Mar 2, 2013I am working on drawing supplied by someone else. In this drawing virtually all the lines are polylines whereas I just want to work with 'ordinary' lines. It causes problems with filleting lines as it automatically turns new lines into polylines. Is there a way to turn a polyline into an 'ordinary' line or do I just have to redraw each line or put up with the problems it causes?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copy And Paste As Block In Drawing?
Oct 11, 2013I have had this issue in 2013 and now after downloadign 2014 the same problem has come up. Drawing is fine other than every so often after you copy a group of items and try to paste it as a block it thinks for about 10-15 seconds then when you are prompted to enter a base point it doesnt show up. I can however select items, copy, and paste as long as it is not a block. I have tried to copy and paste a block that consists of just two polylines so I know it is not a size issue. To add more confusion if I shut down my computer and restart open the same file and try to copy and paste the same item as a block it will allow me to do it once and then it wont work again. I have attached a screenshot of the command history while trying to paste as block. I am not sure why it substitued all of these items? I dont need to shut down and restart everytime I need a new block inserted.

AutoCAD LT :: Polyline Thickness - Line Weight Standards
Dec 21, 2002I've been working on a floor plan after which I wanted to mark the border of a particular area. So, I drew a polyline surrounding the space and used a 2 (inch?) lineweight. It appeared on my screen to be very thick so that was great. The problem is I can't seem to draw any other polyline without seeing this big thick line on my screen - even if the linewieght is set to something thinner. It still "shows up" huge. It's like my viewing setting is frozen to only show polylines real big.
