AutoCAD .NET :: Capturing Escape Key During A Command
Dec 17, 2013I have a vb.net Autocad add-in which runs an iterative routine with a while..wend loop that often takes a few minutes to finish. The routine is very stable and always restores user control eventually, but if the user hits the escape key while it is running, a fatal error occurs in acad.exe.
if there is a way to detect that the escape key has been pressed so the routine is exited?

Oct 7, 2010Yesterday I was cruising along as normal when all of the sudden my escape key stopped working. I believe it happened after I accidentally loaded the dbconnection manager or something similar but not sure. When I envoke a command, the escape key does nothing. When I select something and hit the escape key, it doesn't deselect everything. I know it's not my keyboard because I'm using a laptop and both the attached keyboard and the keyboard on the laptop function the same in that the escape key doesn't work. I also have a Logitech Performance MX with a button set as the escape command and that doesn't work. When I type in cancel or ^c^c, the response is "unknown command".

AutoCAD Inventor :: Clicking Escape Button Disables Selection Events?
Nov 25, 2013When I click the Escape button, All the selection events are stopped working. Please follow the steps below reproduce.
1. Create the Select Events Object using the following steps.
m_pCommandManager->CreateInteractionEvents(&m_spiInteractor);
m_spiInteractor->put_SelectionActive(VARIANT_TRUE);
hr = m_spiInteractor->get_SelectEvents(&m_spiSelectEventsObj);
m_spiSelectEventsObj->put_Enabled(VARIANT_TRUE);
m_spiSelectEventsObj->PutWindowSelectEnabled(VARIANT_TRUE);
[code]....
2. Open the part and Select any face in the model.
I get the following event.
STDMETHODIMP CSelectionEventHandler:nEvent_OnSelect(ObjectsEnumerator * JustSelectedEntities,SelectionDeviceEnum SelectionDevice, Point * ModelPosition, Point2d * ViewPosition, View * View )
3. Now click on the Escape button. Now if you try to select any face , no call back is received.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Ribbon Does Not Respond When Pressing Escape Key At Command Line?
May 15, 2012To reproduce this bug, you must set the Command Line in the new semi-transparent style as featured in AutoCAD 2013. If it's docked in old-fashion like previous AutoCAD versions, the bug won't work.
When there's no command active, you have the following Command Line with the text "Type a command":
If you press the Escape key to cancel (weither you're in a command or not), AutoCAD focus on the command line with a bar sign and the transparent background turns white:
Now if you move the crosshair with your mouse in the drawing area, the Command Line bar sign will revert back to the "Type a command" text, which is fine.
But if the mouse cursor hovers the Ribbon region and you press the escape key, and then you click a Ribbon button, instead of executing the button's command/macro, the Command Line will simply revert to the "Type a command" text. So in the Ribbon area, if you want a Ribbon button to work, you must not have the bar sign in the Command Line. This gets annoying when you often have the habit of pressing escape while in a command and having the mouse ready to chose another command in the Ribbon.
My guess is that the new Command Line format in 2013 may have focus priority issues with other AutoCAD pallettes like the Ribbon. In AutoCAD 2012, the Command Line did not have a friendly "Type a command" message. So it probably has to do with this new implementation when AutoCAD decides when you have the "Type a command" text or the sign bar.
Photoshop :: Escape Key Function
Sep 22, 2012I work in AI more than PS, so my habits from AI are hard to break. One interface difference I ran across was the "esc" key functionality. In AI hitting "esc" saves current changes in the symbol editor and moves the user back to the artboard. In PS, hitting "esc" cancels any editing tool, such as "transform" or "Puppet Warp" without saving changes. While the PS "esc" function is probably more appropriate, it is annoying for someone who is used to the AI worflow. Image my frustration when I worked diligently on a "Puppet Warp" session and lost it all by hitting "esc". Noticed this inconsistancy in the two programs?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Replacing A CC Component
Oct 19, 2010My office procedures dictate that when we place a content center part that we do so "as custom" for several reasons that are irrelevant to this question (I can expound if needed).
My question is: If I have an assembly with a content center part that is placed "as custom" and I use the component replace tool (CTRL+h) to replace it with another content center part that has already been created and placed "as custom" in another file, how come I get a new CC component that is not the one I selected?
It appears that I am getting a CC part from the same family as the original when what I need is the component to be replaced with the one I am selecting.
In other words: when I say replace "this" with "that", how come I get something else entirely? This functionality works perfectly on non-CC parts.

The only other way I know of is to redefine the block current block, then rename it to the new name.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace Component Replacing Incorrectly?
Dec 19, 2013I have an assembly with two similar items in it and have written code to replace the component based on a given selection. If I try to change item one, nothing happens. If I change items two, it changes both item two as well as item one. In the attached screenshot item one should have a full cover panel and item two should be open; however, they are both the same. I have stabilized the browser by changing the names to "Leg One:1" and Leg Two:1) and the components that are being replaced are standard assemblies to be replaces with other standard assemblies.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Replacing Content Center Parts Automation?
Nov 20, 2012[URL]
You're code is definitley a great starting point, and will most likely save me a ton of time!
I am currently diving into a small project which should save a lot of time for designers in the end if it pans out.
Issue being resolved:
We use the Vault and have a ton of machines that get re-used from time to time through the Copy Design method. There's obviously some changes that are made from job to job, but the big issue is changing a machine from an Imperial to Metric one. This is the time (and mind) consuming process I'm looking to shorten.
What I have:
Currently I have a code (few tweaks needed but it works) that is run from an upper assembly. This code then cycles through each and every sub assembly and part that exists within it. As it cycles through, it checks for hole features which are tapped, and if it finds one of these instances, changes the thread from Imperial to Metric according to a Hard Coded set of values.
Current Dilema:
What's the point of changing the holes if the designer has to go through the assembly to change the bolts and fasteners anyways?
I've practiced a bit with your code and been able to replace items, the issue is everything must be hard coded in order to do so. My question is:
Is there a way to get the Family from the Part Occurence / Document / Anything related?
I've looked through the API, but have only found that everything related to the Content Center.... is only accessable through the Content Center, and nothing else.
For Example, yes I am able to tell if a part has come from the content center (ie. PartComponentDefinition.IsContentMember), but that's as far as it goes, just a simple Boolean.
There MUST be a way to find out some sort of Content Center information from the direct Part / other related documents. I've looked at the "Replace Content Center Part Sample" provided in the API, but this example hard codes the ContentTreeViewPath as well.
In the end, I don't quite understand the point of hard coding this path with no way to access it through the Part Document. This only creates the need for constant manual change and / or MANY rules to compensate each and every family.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Replacing Text In Tables?
May 30, 2013Consider the following
(if (ssget "_X" '((0 . "ACAD_TABLE")(1 . "PIPE LIST")))(progn (vlax-for a (setq ss (vla-get-ActiveSelectionSet (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))) (repeat (setq r (vla-get-rows a))(setq r (1- r) c -1)(repeat (vla-get-columns a)
(if (eq "*PL*" (vlax-invoke a 'GetText r (setq c (1+ c)))) (vlax-invoke a 'SetText r c "THREAD ONE END"))))) (vla-delete ss)));progn);if
Basically, it replaces this text inside a table:
1 1/2" NPTM - A53 - 3000LB - A-53 - 3000 LB
with:
thread both ends.
But I'm limited to the size of pipe, it's material and its pressure rating. I can't change how the text in the field is populated. It would be nice if, it did a search for NPTM, and when that string exists in the string, change it to "thread both ends".
Essentially right now, I have 46 lines (and growing) of different scenarios. I just want the NPTM to trigger the string change.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Browser Is Not Refreshing After Replacing Elements With ILogic
Jul 10, 2012When I replace elements with iLogic the Inventor Browser is not automatically refreshed.
E.g. I have a file A.ipt and I replace it with B.ipt then in the Brwoser will be shown: A.ipt:1, even when B is already inserted.
Is there some refresh, like "Update Browser nodes when done" ?
These both has no influence on it:
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True
InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
By the way. To Update the Browser manually, I have to rename the block nodes (From Filename to Filename). So it's only opening up the Renaming Function and then hitting "ok".
If there's no direct function to update the Browser, maybe there's a way to do the manually way by iLogic?

AutoCAD .NET :: Replacing Text Of MText And DBText Entities With Some String Value
Jun 15, 2012I was writing code for my custom .net extension dll and one of the procedure involved therein was to replace the Text of MTEXT and DBTEXT entities with some predetermined Text String. I am using C#, AutoCAD 2012, and Visual Studio 2010. Here is the part of code wherein I am trying to replace the Text String of the MTEXT or DBTEXT entities.
foreach (SelectedObject selectedObject in selectionSet) { Entity currentEntity = transaction.GetObject(selectedObject.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite, false) as Entity; if (currentEntity == null) { continue; } if (currentEntity.GetType() == typeof(MText)) { ((MText)currentEntity).Contents = textToCopy; } else { ((DBText)currentEntity).TextString = textToCopy; } } transaction.Commit();
The issue is that the text of the MTEXT or DBTEXT is not getting replaced with the string I am trying to. I debugged the code and it correctly hits the setting of MText.Contents == "Some String" and also transaction.commit(). But the text of the MTEXT still remains to the old value. Is this the correct way of changing the text of MTEXT / DBTEXT through the .Net API.
