.NET

[#1]

Hi there,

@The moment i am trying to get the saveAs settings that were used when the user hits the save/saveAs button in autocad.

My addin needs to store the current document with these settings. i dont want to use some pop-up dialog.

The .currentVersion property saves the document with the applicationversions standard saveprofile.

I need some kind of property that reflects the users saveAs settings.

Is there any way getting those information via the .net api without doing the interop stuff?

thank you

If you mean the current format for save, then, for example:

[CommandMethod("DefForSave")]
public static void DefForSave()
{
  Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
  Editor ed = doc.Editor;
  object acadObject = Application.AcadApplication;
  object preferences  = acadObject.GetType().InvokeMember("Preferences", 
    BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, acadObject, null);
  object prefOpenSave = preferences.GetType().InvokeMember("OpenSave", 
    BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, preferences, null);
  object dwgversion = prefOpenSave.GetType().InvokeMember("SaveAsType", 
    BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, prefOpenSave, null);
  ed.WriteMessage("\nDefault Format For Save= {0}", dwgversion);
}

Thank you very much for your quick answer Alexander,

i am getting an integer value.

unfortuntley i cannot just use this value within the saveAs method of my document.

i get the following values

DWG2010: 48

DWG2007: 36

DWG2000: 12

is there any mapping-Table ? do i have to map it myself?

But you can use this value with AcadDocument.SaveAs method:

object adoc = doc.AcadDocument;
object [] parms = new object[2];
parms[0] = doc.Name; parms[1] = dwgversion;
adoc.GetType().InvokeMember("SaveAs", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, adoc, parms);

Good morning Alexander.

Your suggestions where just perfect. Exactly what i was looking for. Thank you very much.

Is there any documentation about the invokemembers and its parameters for ACAD2012/13?

For the rest of this thread it can be closed. 5-Stars-Rating.

InvokeMember is a method of type System.Type (part of Reflection)

AcadDocument, AcadPreferences, etc. are classes from AutoCAD ActiveX API
