Hi,

I would like to load a dxf image, then create an empty version of this dxf file and save it to disk.

The empty version of the dxf I want to load as an overlay to the original file. Very much like redlining, but I need to use lots of layers.

Is this possible with CADImportVCL?

Regards,

Andy

Sergey,

I gave that a try, but I still get the whole of the image repainted.

What I would like is that only the active area of the layer that I have turned on or off is drawn, not the whole image.

Is this possible?

Hi,

How can I control the drawing order of the layers? i.e. how can I send a layer to the back of the drawing so that if it's a solid colour, I can still the the other entities on top of it.

Hi, I am using the following code snippets to turn layers on and off: sgImagePlan.LoadFromFile(DBTextPlanFilename.Caption); sgImagePlan.Align := alNone; sgImagePlan.Align := alClient; Fimg := TsgDXFImage(sgImagePlan.Picture.Graphic); Fimg.Converter.LayerByName(LayerName).Visible := true; //on or Fim...

Sergey, Thanks for the example. This is why I asked the question about the layer count in a dxf file. As you say, the unique part of the entity in this example is the layer name, so If I want to add 110 unique entities, then I would need to create an additional 110 layers. Is there a limit for dxf f...

Hi, Looking at the example from the 28th April, this will colour all entities on the 'www' layer - if I am interpreting it correctly. How can you select just one of these entities? Is there an attribute for polyline, or circle etc, that can be set to a unique value, and hence, check this value when ...

Sergey,

Please do.

Thanks...

Hi, I have installed the component into D2005, and when I run the viewer demo, load a dxf, and hit the layer button, the program throws an exception. Is this a known problem? If so, what's the fix. Also, I have noted from the demos that there appears to be very little in the way of adding entities a...
