Edit multiple drawings -Enotaplicable

[kresimir.kukec]

Hi

I am  trying to edit multiple drawings by changing DBtext i MText objects.

tekstovi lt = new tekstovi();
            Double pov = (Double)numericUpDown1.Value;
            Double ps = (Double)numericUpDown2.Value;
            if (true)
            {
                System.IO.StreamWriter sw = new System.IO.StreamWriter(plf+"logzamjene.txt");
                foreach (string put in filepathss)
                {
                    try
                    {
                        doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.Open(put.Replace("\\\\","\\"),false);
                    }
                    catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException ex)
                    {
                        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
                        throw;
                    }
                    Database db = doc.Database;
                        Editor ed = doc.Editor;
                    DocumentLock lok = doc.LockDocument();
                    using (lok)
                    {

How do you run your code? I mean the CommandMethod, from which the code get run.

Basically,you need to set CommandFlags.Session in the CommandMethod attribute.

the Editor.SelectAll()/Selectxxxx() method can only be called with current drawing.

If the commandmethod has the Session flag, newly opened drawing will become current automatically. If there is no Session flag, drawing can be opened, but it would not become active drawing, thus you cannot use its Editor object and its method (SelectAll(), in your case), thus the "eNotApplicable" exception.

In following code, the Editor.SelectAll() works for me (Acad2015), with the CommandFlags.Session set:

    public class MyCadCommands
    {
        
        [CommandMethod("OpenDwgs", CommandFlags.Session)]
        public static void RunOpenDwgsCommand()
        {
            Document dwg = CadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            if (dwg == null) return;

            Editor ed = dwg.Editor;

            string[] files = new string[]
            {
                @"C:\Temp\DrawingTest1.dwg",
                @"C:\Temp\DrawingTest2.dwg"

                
            };

            BatchOpenDwgs(files);
            
        }

        private static void BatchOpenDwgs(string[] files)
        {
            foreach (var file in files)
            {
                Document dwg = Application.DocumentManager.Open(file, false);
                Editor ed = dwg.Editor;
                PromptSelectionResult res = ed.SelectAll();
                if (res.Status==PromptStatus.OK)
                {
                    Application.ShowAlertDialog(res.Value.Count + " found!");
                }
            }
        }
    }

Hi

I modified Class as you suggested with session flag but still no luck.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Kresimir,

If you wan't to select either TEXT or MTEXT entities ,your filter should be something like this -

TypedValue[] TypVal = new TypedValue[4];
SelectionFilter filter= default(SelectionFilter);
TypVal.SetValue(new TypedValue(DxfCode.Operator, "<or"), 0);
TypVal.SetValue(new TypedValue(DxfCode.Start, "TEXT"), 1);
TypVal.SetValue(new TypedValue(DxfCode.Start, "MTEXT"), 2);
TypVal.SetValue(new TypedValue(DxfCode.Operator, "or>"), 3);
filter= new SelectionFilter(TypVal);

You stil find difficulties , I request you to send a sample project so I can analyze the issue.

Thanks,

madhu

Which version of AutoCAD you are using?

Can you try some simplified code to just prove it does work or not work, for example the code I showed, or your code, from which you remove all the irrelevant code (only leave bare bone code to open a few drawings and call Editor.SelectAll() without filter?
