AutoCAD 2010/2011/2012 DWG Format

[#1]

hi all.

I'm developing an application in c# and I use sendcommand to draw shapes and write text in autocad.

I use lisp  to write text in autocad. here's an example :

ActiveDocument.SendCommand("(defun c:writeText() (Command \"text\" \"{0},{1}\" \"{2}\")));

ActiveDocument.SendCommand("writeText");

{0} and {1} are coordinates of the start of text and {2} is the text itself.

the problem is when text is drawn its start position is not what I passed to sendcommand SOMETIMES!

sometimes it is exactly written in the coordinate I specified, but sometimes it gets changed a little.

I checked autocad commandline and it recieves the parameters correctly everytime.

does anyone have any idea?

thanks in advance.

Hi,

depending on country settings it may me the decimal-separator that makes troubles. E.g. for us we have a comma as sep and if you send now the coords with your syntax the result for X=10.1 and Y=20.2 would be

10,1,20,2     instead of   10.1,20.2

for the definition for one point. So we would have first to replace the comma to a point before we send a double-value (converted to string) to the command-line.

The second reason (always critical when using points-coords in SendCommands) is the objectsnap. E.g. if you have a line from 0,0 to 10,10 and you try to set a text at point 1,1 the object-snap "ENDPOINT" will result in ==> the text is positioned at 0,0 (and not at 1,1). So deactivate osnap first.

thank you very much.

disabling objectsnap resolved the issue.
