Our 50% plots don't print some entities. They plot fine at 100%. This occurs across multiple workstations. I first made sure that all the systems were updated with the latest updates and that the plotter driver was updated to see if that would fix it. No change. All workstations have Revit 2012 with update #2. Printing to and OCE TDS600 with the newest driver.
View 4 RepliesI received a drawing from an outside contractor that uses something with proxy entities. I can see them just fine on the screen but when I try to plot the drawing they disappear. It also came from a newer version so I had to use the DWG True View to convert it if that may have caused my issue.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a project that requires modelling in revit but exporting the final drawings in Autocad format. As a requirement from my client, I am demanded to export the entire paper space into the model space as Autocad entities.
When I export the drawing, the composition that I model in Revit is shown in the paper space, Is there a way to automatically export this composition into the model space?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm plotting multiple sheets in revit 2011 (doesn't matter if it's 2 or 20,)the first sheet comes out fine, but all the rest has text / annotation that has disappered. Text in the title block, elevation markers, section markers, and column bubbles. The markers appear, but the text doesn't. My work around currently is to plot to pdf and then plotting the pdf. But this is a step that I shouldn't have to do.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to plot a drawing with a 3d shape and a title block around it. I would like for the occluded lines to not be drawn therefore I'm using the hidden visual style and set shade plot to hidden as well.
My problem arises from the quality of the plot to PDF versus the quality coming out of a printer. It is just a 8.5x11 page. The pdf comes out with horrible anti-aliasing and jagged lines, whereas the print is entirely smooth. Is there something simple I'm missing? It would be even better to find a way to make the plot to PDF come out in vector format! I know it is possible to show the layers and have them vectorized in a PDF... How is this done?
looking for a way to read in the DXF data for a surface entity in AutoCAD2012. There's plenty on reading in simple objects (e.g. 3DFace, Points, etc.) but nothing on surfaces. The data itself is also not as intuitive as I would have hoped. The DXF reference PDF from AutoDesk shows 7 possible unique entries and the data I need is most likely stored in the proprietary data. So, in short I know where it is but how can I read it?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow could I get the ObjectIdCollection of all entities (points, polyline) in a certain layer?
I am using the following code at this moment.
private ObjectIdCollection GetEntitiesOnLayer(string layerName)
{
Editor ed = doc.Editor;
TypedValue[] tvs = new TypedValue[1] { new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.LayerName, layerName) };
SelectionFilter sf = new SelectionFilter(tvs);
PromptSelectionResult psr = ed.SelectAll(sf);
[code]....
But it seems the function fetches more ObjectId than I expected.For example, if I draw 3 points and 2 polylines in "A" layer.
ObjectIdCollection obc = GetEntitiesOnLayer("A");
int i = obc.Count;
I was expecting i to be 5 (3 points and 2 polylines), but i seems to be more than 5.
I have the dialog window with the settings for entities graphical appearance used in my plugin.
My goal is to create the same preview as AutoCAD dimension style manager dialog has, the dynamic thumbnail of the entities while user changes the settings in dialog.
Probably one option is to create temporary block (created based on data from settings dialog) and then use BlockTableRecord.PreviewIcon, but I am not sure if there is some other way.

I don't want the user to select the entities, instead I loop through the whole drawing.

I have a requirement to find all connected entities on a given line of a plant P&ID. In other words given a certain line or reference point the requirement is to 'walk the line' and list off all entities (with certain attributes and in order) that are connected on a line.
Now not having any experience with underlying object models and API's, whether A) this is possible B) which object model to use - I'm a bit confused as to which one to use.
I'd like to automatically hatch all visible polygons of a drawing. My vision of how to solve this is basically:
- for each visible drawing do
- pick internal point
- hatch
- end for
I'm having trouble by automatically picking an internal point inside the polygon.
I've found these two methods : Crossing numbers and winding numbers [URL]....... but they don't seem to work if there are some polylines inside an polygon.
Is there another solution to my problem for automatically picking an internal point inside a polygon ? Can I automatically hatch an polygon without picking it's internal point ?
My code takes the selected entities and reads out all the text of the attributes.
If no blocks are selected, the code prompts for a selection.
Unfortunately, by ending the transaction, the entitis are deselected.
So how to keep the selection, because it will be handled in a follow-up step.
Below a shortened code for the procedure:
private void Get_Text(){ Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.SetFocusToDwgView(); PromptSelectionResult sel = edt.SelectImplied(); if (sel.Status == PromptStatus.Error) { TypedValue[] auswahl_typ = new TypedValue[] { new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Start, "INSERT") };

I tried it with ed.SelectionAdded and ed.SelectionRemoved but it doesn't work if I for example pressing ESC.
I want to get the Object Ids saved in a ObjectIdCollection and I don't want to run an autocad command every time.
I wrote a program that trys to move all the entities in a dwg file by calculating a grid transformation for each point in each entity. For example to move a pline
Case Is = "AcDb2dPolyline"
Set o2DP = oEnt
retCoord = o2DP.Coordinates
For j% = 0 To UBound(retCoord) Step 3
yaa# = retCoord(j%)

My problem is moving hatch entities. I haven't succeeded in finding equivalent code to move the hatch entities. I did find another post here, but I still don't get it.
Just a follow up to the inquiry on the Flatten command. Is there a way to use set all entities in a drawing to elevation 0? like moving them all to Z=0 like the flatten command but all entities in one command including blocks, hatches, etc.

How can I trim entities in an array? I can make the array just fine, but I don't know why it won't let me trim them. I suppose it's trying to keep references to the array and the original entity that the array is based off of, but at this point I don't wish to keep that information.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have some blocks which are placed with some routines in VB.net and are linked by a unique code to a external data file (XML-file). I want to try to created a kind of propertybox (in a toolpalette) which indicate some of this external data values. If one of these values are changed (by changing the values in the propertybox), some routines need to be executed.
Is it possible when a object is selected (not during a command), to run a piece of code (VB.NET). I have found some basic principles about "overruling" but I'm not sure this is the correct/possible way to solve the problem and I'm not there yet.
What i want to do is popluate a Listbox with with the area of previously selected Objects.This is what i have at the moment:
i = 0ListBox1.ColumnCount = 2For Each ssetOBJ In sset objarea = ssetOBJ.Area i = i + 1 With ListBox1 .AddItem .List(.ListCount - i, 0) = "Fläche" .List(.ListCount - i, 1) = objarea End With Next.
But the code only writes the area of the last Object in the first Row of the Listbox.I think in the FOR EACH Expression the variable "i" pass always "1" for the Row Number.
I'm try to set a classification for a list of objects with .net. I'va found some discussions regarding changing and iterating classification trees, but none setting the classification for entites, similar to selecting a classification in ui.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe're having a problem with Ordinate dimensions. When we dimension to a radius corner, we dim to the "implied intersection" of the two lines, rather than to the center of the radius. We make a sketch with the two "tick marks", then dim to the intersection of the tick marks.
Ordinate dimensions are not allowing us to pick the intersection: it wants to put two (or three) dimensions, one to each end of one or the other tick marks (see attached). We use Ordinate dims about once a year, but I'm sure I remember being able to ordinate dimension to the tick marks.
I'm trying to rewrite some old VBA code into VB.net (which I'm not even Novice level yet), and I'm stumped on what would be a fairly simple principle (in VBA)..
For Each BlockDef in ThisDrawing.blocks If Left(BlockDef.name, 12) = "*Paper_Space" then Select Case True Case BlockDef.Layout.Name Like "*Test*" blah blah End Select End IfNext
Essentially conditional manipulation of paperspace elements depending on the layout name.
The following fragment allows me to recurse through entities in paperspace, but I've no idea which layout tab..
Dim BlkPaperSpc As BlockTableRecord = ScanTrans.GetObject(BlkTab _(BlockTableRecord.PaperSpace), OpenMode.ForWrite)For Each AcObjId As ObjectId In BlkPaperSpc Dim PspaceObj As String = AcObjId.ObjectClass.NameNext
What I need to do is to be able to identify a type of object (a table), confirm it's location, delete it and replace it with another one, depending on which layout tab it's on.
