FYI: Here are the AutoCAD acAlignment constants. acAlignmentLeft = 0 acAlignmentCenter = 1 acAlignmentRight = 2 acAlignmentAligned = 3 acAlignmentMiddle = 4 acAlignmentFit = 5 acAlignmentTopLeft = 6 acAlignmentTopCenter = 7 acAlignmentTopRight = 8 acAlignmentMiddleLeft = 9 acAlignmentMiddleCenter = ...

Thanks!

We're trying to make entities within CAD Import .NET software closer to AutoCAD entities.

That's good to hear. Do you have anything similar to XData or XRecord where I can attach information to the entities?

Hi,

Can you let me know the possible values for the CADMText.Align property?

I can't seem to find them in the documentation.

Thanks!

Hi,

It would be really useful to me if the entities each had a Tag property that accepts any object of type system.object, just like you will find with most .Net controls.

Do you have plans to add that in the near future? If not would it be possible for you guys to add that to the entities?

Thank you!

Hi,

Is is possible to create a new Dxf drawing? The only menu options I see in the examples are for opening an existing drawing.

Hi, I found a work around to make the insert's invisible. I iterated all of the entities in the block collection for the insert and individually set them to visibility = false and that seems to work. In a perfect would It would of course be great to not have to do that and if you set the parent cont...

Hi Alexander, I have found the cause for the bug. It seems I didn't have a reference to a PropertyGrid control set to the EntityPropertyGrid property in the CADImportFace class. i.e. CADImportFace.EntityPropertyGrid = this.propGrid; Here is the code from the FAQ_Demo.Net example private void InitExt...

Hi, I have noticed that setting the visibility property to false does not change Insert's visibility, it will change the visibility state of lines. I am using the FAQ_Demo.Net sample and in the mousedown event I am finding the layer of the entity selected and then I iterate over all the entities in ...

Hi, Maybe if I'm more specific you can tell me if it can do this. Say I have 100,000 lines in my dwg and 200,000 block references for a total of 300,000 entities in my drawing (lets not even talk about points). I want to be able to quickly select all lines on layer 123, that are red and have a linet...

Hi, I am using the CADImage.Select(x, y) method in a mousedown event for a CADPictureBox. When I do it returns a Null Reference exception, below is the stack trace at CADImport.FaceModule.CADImportFace.SelectObject(CADEntity ent) at CADImport.CADSelector.Select(Int32 x, Int32 y) at CADImport.CADImag...

Hi, So iterating over the entire collection of entities is the only option? I ask because I can see times where there might by 100,000 entities or more and having to iterate through each one might be an issue. Is the underlying structure of a dwg a database? If it is could you not have a method to q...

Ok I have discovered from the FAQ_Demo that CADPictureBox control mouse down event does fire and I am able to use it to do what I need. :P I'm new to CADSoftTools and I have a couple of questions, 1) what's the purpose/differences in the CADImport.FaceModule.CADPictureBox, CADEditorControl and the C...

Hi, I am using the CADEditorControlDemo and I am trying to get access to the entity that I select/click in the viewer control. However none of the mouse events for the control fire when I click into the drawing. Can you please let me know how I capture the mouse click event from the control? BTW: I ...
