Transfer Link Template to Object Data

BriamR — Sat, 30 Jul 2022 19:46:54 GMT

Hi community,

I have been researching on this topic for a long time, what I want is to transfer the values of the LINK TEMPLATE fields to the OBJECT DATA fields as I show in the image is a process that would help me a lot.

I have a .dwg file with two OBJECT DATA tables which are connected to a MS Access database by means of a LINK TEMPLATE with the same names as shown in the SCREENCASTS.

I have looked at these options but without achieving something concrete

1. ADOLisp

2. MS-Access-and-Object-datos

3. ms-acceso-a-atributos

I attach the .mdb and .dwg files that serve as an example for this topic.

Can you help me with a routine that does this task automatically and faster?

I appreciate your help if you have it.

Hi @BriamR

I not used it before and I don't know how to use it, you have a video look

But I looked at it a little

But you have one KeyValues Can two KeyValues I mean the first and second fields KeyValues

Hi @hosneyalaa
The keyvalues is only one in the DB and in the LT, for each table the keyvalues is INTERNO_DEMARCACION and INTERNO_SENAL. thanks for your interest in the publication

hi @BriamR

Get the following values after the key need arrangement See the video

and connect it with OBJECT DATA fields needs time

If I find time, I will try it

Can someone provide help?

Attach the Lisp

@hosneyalaathanks for the help and interest in solving the issue, greetings, I hope someone in the forum can help me with the issue.

I have been reviewing this method and I think I can use it but I still can't make an effective or coherent routine to help me with transferring LT to OD. CAO_Link_Templates.lsp

I assume you want to develop this with AutoCAD .NET API.

I have never used AutoCAD MAP Object Data but I have used AutoCAD CAO.

Why don't you start writing some code and see what happens?

I can help with issues related to CAO but nothing related to Object Data.

At first I think that it is only possible to migrate data from CAO to Object Data as long as the CAO.KeyValues fields are equal to the ObjectData.FieldDefinition fields (same data source).

The caotest.dvb (VBA) example can be used for learning purposes. Other useful content:

@Gepaha Thank you for your interest in the publication. I will try to make some lines as you recommend, because I don't have much experience in programming. I am still open to your help in terms of a code that can migrate or transfer the information from LT to OD. Regards

You did not give details on how you want to transfer/conversion done: is it one-time operation, so that the entities' linked data will be converted into ObjectData attached to the same entities and afterward, you do not need the entities being linked to the data any more; or, you want to entities still to be data linked (thus the attached ObjectData may be out of sync, if the data changes).

There is also other possibilities. For example, if you know which data fields in the database's table to be used as ObjectData, then you can directly get the database from the database and use it in the ObjectData fields (e.g. bypassing the need to converting/transferring from data linked entities, unless you must use the linked data to identify the entities).

As @Gepaha pointed out, you would need use CAO 1.0 COM components to access data linked entities, and then create corresponding ObjectData (table/record). It can be done either with VBA, or .NET API. I suspect that is no existing, generic tool readily for you to use (because CAO is quite old technology), so, you need to have, a bit of, advanced AutoCAD/Map programming knowledge/skill for this task. If you want to it yourself, expect steeper learning curve, and preferably, you do it with .NET API, rather than VBA.

@norman.yuan thank you very much for your interest in the subject.

Regarding the information that I did not provide, I would like to comment the following details,
1. When the operation of transferring the LT to the OD is done, it must be a copy of information that keeps the entity or drawing linked to the database regardless of the fact that this is not synchronized by subsequent changes in value.
2. The values of the OD and LT and DB fields are the same, that is to say, the copy or conversion/transfer from LT or DB to OD can be made, and yes, the data linked through the LT are identifiers of each entity or graphic element with OD.

Thanks again for commenting on this publication, I remain attentive to any clarification to be made on this issue. And yes! I am dabbling in this programming as it is very useful and interesting to save time in work processes, so I turn to this forum asking for your help. Regards

Hi @BriamR

You need to look at lisp at comment show link data

It gives you the results you want From the LT fields

Then you associate it with the OD fields Through the Lisp that you attached

Re :

I'd surmise you have a redundant space in one of the function names.
Perhaps do a search for VLA-PUT<space> for the culprit.

Perhaps you wanted VLA-PUT-PROPERTY ??

Re: Transfer Link Template to Object Data

I am still trying and I am getting closer. I managed to show the key field "INTERNO_DEMARCACION" but I still can't show the corresponding field "CLASE DEMARCACION", I am still working on transferring these values in the object data, thank you for any help.

I share the code I am working on:
