Save CADInsert in DXF not work

[coo5hda]

Hello,
I am adding several CADPolylines in a CADBlock and this last one I add it to a CADInsert which I charge to the CADEditorControl.Image however, when I want to save the elements stored in the CADInsert in DXF format, it does not store the elements nor the CADInsert

Hello,

The elements (CADPolylines in the given case) are actually stored in a CADBlock, not in a CADInsert. CADInsert just refers to the CADBlock through a CADInsert.Block property.

Could you please post your code which creates a CADBlock and CADInsert and adds these objects to a CADEditorControl.Image? We will check it.

Code: Select all

        private bool PlaceEntity(CADEntity aEntity)
        {
            return PlaceEntity(aEntity, "");
        }

        private bool PlaceEntity(CADEntity aEntity, string aLayoutName)
        {
            CADLayout vLayout;
            if (aLayoutName == "")
                vLayout = editor.Image.Layouts[0];
            else
                vLayout = editor.Image.Converter.LayoutByName(aLayoutName);

            if (vLayout == null) return false;

            editor.Image.Converter.Loads(aEntity);
            vLayout.AddEntity(aEntity);

            return true;
        }

        private void DrawDoriArea(DPoint point)
        {
            CADBlock block = new CADBlock();
            block.Name = "blockDoriArea";

            block.AddEntity(DrawCamera(point));
            block.AddEntity(DrawLens(point));
            block.AddEntity(DrawIdentificationArea(point));
            block.AddEntity(DrawRecognitionArea(point));
            block.AddEntity(DrawObservationArea(point));
            block.AddEntity(DrawDetectionArea(point));
            block.AddEntity(DrawArc(point));

            CADInsert insert = new CADInsert();
            insert.Block = block;

            if (!PlaceEntity(insert))
                editor.Image.Converter.GetSection(ConvSection.Blocks).RemoveEntityByName("blockDoriArea");
        }

this is the code

There are two problems in your code:

1) You didn't add the CADBlock to the BLOCKS section, the following code is missing:

Code: Select all

        private void AddEntToSection(ConvSection aSection, CADEntity aEntity)
        {
            editor.Image.Converter.Loads(aEntity);
            editor.Image.Converter.GetSection(aSection).AddEntity(aEntity);
        }

            ...
            
            CADBlock block = new CADBlock();
            block.Name = "blockDoriArea";
            AddEntToSection(ConvSection.Blocks, block);

2) The CADInsert must have the insertion point, the following code is missing:

Code: Select all

insert.Point = new DPoint(0, 0, 0);

This point is always (0,0,0)?

This point is always (0,0,0)?

No, you can use any (X,Y,Z) value, depending on where you want to place the CADInsert object. (0, 0, 0) is just an example.
