I am using AutoCAD 2012 and the .NET API. Can someone help me how can i loop through the document objects of all the open documents? i am trying to do something like the code below..I have this question on Autodesk Forum too.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to write a program. This should be a simple task for most of you, but I have taken one class of programming back in High School so I'm kinda lost.
The program needs to do the following:
-Open AutoCAD File
-File=>Export=>PDF=>Save
-Close AutoCAD
If possible to select a whole folder full of these AutoCAD drawings and have the program run a loop until all the files in the folder have been exported into a pdf file.
I have a problem with WebBrowser control and cookies.First of all what happens when one navigates in a normal Web browser (IE9 in my case): open page
I enter my username / password,
I leave the checkbox "Stay signed in" unchecked and click "Sign in",
IE9 opens my GMail page with all my mails listed. That is OK.
1.2. At the top of GMail page there are a lot of links like "Calendar", "Documents", etc.
When I click the "Documents" link, my documents page is opened in a separate tab in IE9. No additional login information as name / psw is asked. This is fine too.Now, what happens when I repeat all that in WebBrowser control (I have created a very simple VB.NET application with single WebBrowser control in it).
2.1. In form load event the following code is executed:
Private Sub MyForm_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs)
Me.MyWebBrowser.Navigate("http://www.gmail.com")
End Sub
2.2. I enter my GMail login information (name and psw) in WebBrowser control,
2.3. When I click the "Documents" link, a new instance of IE9 is opened,
2.4. Instead of showing a list of my documents, Google asks me to login again in an IE9 window. Why? Why I have to enter my credentials again?I think there is something wrong with cookies and they are not set correctly in a step 2.2.
I've been asked to get the page counts for documents stored as tif files. What I have now is looping through our third party software to open them and then get the page count. I can't stop the image from flashing and it is very slow. Does anyone know of a way to loop through them quickly and can the page counts (one image can have many documents)?
View 5 RepliesI always get an out of memory exception with my drawings...I read somewhere that I have to dispose my graphics to diminish the amount of memory used by the system.
I have the onPaint event and in there I call my functions with
Dim g as Graphics = e.Graphics
draw_all(g)
So in fact I have to dispose the e.Graphics every time he has to be repainted. Now my question how can I do that, because when I write before the draw_all function g.Dispose, that doesn't work, because he deletes the declaration of g and he doesn't know anymore what it is. If I dispose it after the draw_all function, he doesn't want to draw either.
I've problem with clearing all the drawings I've created in my PictureBox. In fact I've created animation which stops after certain time and remains on the screen. The animation is created/painted with collection of about 25 TextBoxes - input of a user. Now I've added a button which clears all that info in TextBoxes and also should clear PictureBox -ictureBox.Refresh(). The problem is when I add new info in 25 TextBoxes nothing appears in PictureBox and I can't start an animation. Wondering why...

I am trying to develope a small graphics application in VB.NET. My startup form has a picture box with a background image loaded from a file. The user can click spots on the picture box and this draws some circles on it. On exit the coordinates for these spots are saved to a file.In my form load procedure I load the background image, the coordinates for the graphics(saved from the last time the program was run), and then call the drawing procedure.
The drawings appear for an instant and then dissappear. If you click the picture box the graphics re-appear.The form works fine once you do this.I guess the picture box is refreshed by the form load event and this is causing the drawings to be wiped.(I stalled the call to the drawing procedure by using a timer and this works but I am sure there is a proper way of fixing this)Is there a way of ensuring a form is fully loaded or making sure the drawing procedure occurs only when the form is fully loaded?

View 2 RepliesIm a newb so if I word this a little funny im sorry. I am using VB.net 2005 developer edition and Im trying to import a layout of a conveyor belt system onto a screen. We will be using the screen to show status on motor overloads and devices attached to the conveyor. For example here is a jpeg of one of the screens I would like to make:
We will have to change the color of the symbols when the are active or non active. Also, we want to have the ability to scroll over the symbols and have a message box pop up and tell the status. I am just trying to figure out the most logical way of doing this. I can change the file format of the drawing to Jpeg or bitmap or even PDF.
problem statement is to open the image file on form & edit the image in same form & to set the properites of the object in that image when clcik on the image & then provide the edited image to controller which will run a robo on it Input image is autocad factory map
I also wanted to know how can i get the object of autocad files as they have table block structure inside their file format i wnat to store these image so what should i use??
I've been going in circles trying to read autocad's dxf files. I've downloaded the dwf tool kit, however nothing seems to work.

I am trying to load files into a Datagridview:
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Dim myFileDir As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath)
For Each myFiles As System.IO.FileInfo In myFileDir.GetFiles("*.*")
DataGridView1.Rows.Add(myFiles.Name)
Next
I am able to get the files.I have 2 columns "filename" & "readonly"
a) how can I filter just .dwg
b) how can I get readonly a tag that says "yes" into datagridview, so I can see which files are set to readonly.
c) I will be launching the list of files through autocad (I know the process.start method to launch, is there any way I can launch then via desktop shortcut, the reason I ask is there is a script file attached to the shortcut, which amends the drawing when autocad is launched:
"C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD 2012 - Englishacad.exe" /b "A:SCRIPTSmyscript.scr"
I am trying to open a dwg file in vb.net forms without opening a autocad application But tere occur a problem : The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E).Also i want to edit the image in dwg file i.e most probably a factory layout & store information about object used in layout to figure out the best possible way to reach from source to destination.This factory layout map is input for a robot which will move according the path avaiable.
View 1 RepliesI have made a userform in AutoCAD, I made some buttons where I want to start software from.The programm I want to run is started by an VBScript from the manufacturer.When I double click the VBScript the program starts, but trying to execute if from a button_click on my AutoCAD userform it returns that I am missing MSVCR70.dll files.The missing file is in the folder of the program I want to run, aswel in my System32 folder.I tried to execute it the next ways:
Process.Start("C:WINDOWSsystem32cscript.exe", """C:Program Files (x86)ProgramRun.vbs") and
Process.Start("C:Program Files (x86)ProgramRun.vbs") What is going wrong ?
I would like to use a treeview control to display related data as Folders(Level0), Projects(Level1), Drawings(Level2). So far I don't have a problem reading data from a database, creating classes to hold the data and displaying the tree from the class data. I have created (3) contect menu strips, one for each level of the tree to perform various tasks. Each menu has an ADD option to either add a folder, add a project or add a drawing.My problem is as follows...After I add the node, in the correct location, I would like to have it set in the BeginEdit mode.
Dim oNode As New TreeNode
oNode = TreeView1.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add(sNextID, "New Project")
oNode.ImageIndex = 1
TreeView1.Refresh()
[code]....
After this code runs, the node.Text changes back to "New Project". As you can see, I added a few debug.print statements to try to see what is going on. It really blew my mind to see that the entire tree printed in the immediate window.I have already created a work around for this, but is isn't really the way I'd like to see the program run.
I have a VB.NET project in which it would be extremely helpful to the users if they would be able to print multiple .DWG files at the same time without manually opening each one and clicking on the print button.
Is this possible to do in VB.NET using the Autocad API's?
I am trying to create an autocad drawing in visual studio with the code :
Dim strTemplatePath As String = "C:\acad.dwt"
Dim acDocMgr As DocumentCollection = Application.DocumentManager
Dim acDoc As Document = acDocMgr.Add(strTemplatePath)
acDocMgr.MdiActiveDocument = acDoc
However, when I try to run the program I get an filenotfoundexception and the program asks me to verify if the file exists in the specified location. The file does exist in the specified location.
I have been using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in MS Office packages and in Auto CAD.

I have written an application that loads a form - frmCad as well as AutoCad. It does this via a class which detects when AutoCad quits.
Friend Class CadApp Private WithEvents AppObject As AcadApplication... Private Sub AppObject_BeginQuit(ByRef Cancel As Boolean) Handles AppObject.BeginQuit RaiseEvent Quit() End SubEnd Class
My main class loads frmCad as well as CadApp.
Public Class Cad Private WithEvents frmCad As CadForm Private WithEvents app As CadApp... Public Sub ShowForm() If frmCad Is Nothing Then frmCad = New CadForm frmCad.Visible = True End Sub... Private Sub app_Quit() Handles app.Quit frmCad.Dispose() frmCad = Nothing .... End Sub
When I debug the program, it stops at frmCad.Dispose()The program continues to execute, but all the code after it fails to work.Looking more carefully I get an error message which contains:-Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Autocad' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
I am trying to count Acad Blocks and then write the block references to the modelview using vb.net (VB 2010 Express).I have been scanning the forums for the error I am getting and before I post the code, I thought I would check and see if anyone is experienced with AutoCad and would be able to give some insight. Have not found much to do with AutoCad on the forums as of yet.I have comments on the debugging process, that might help out somewhat but I can't figure out where the first value is not being assigned (or better yet why).
