Getting canonicalmedianame list

wildcop — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 02:28:31 GMT

Is there way to get canonicalmedianame-list without setting one of media name (ANSI_A_, below case)?

 acPlSetVdr.SetPlotConfigurationName(plSet, "DWF6 ePlot.pc3", "ANSI_A_(8.50_x_11.00_Inches)")

In the AutoCAD's own Print Setting screen, Localmedianame-list changes with DeviseName changed.

Another question is, How can we get the Devise/Media Name saved in each dwg file?

thx in advance.

Q1: Solution:

var psv = PlotSettingsValidator.Current; using (var ps = new PlotSettings(false)) { psv.SetPlotConfigurationName(ps, pc3DeviceName, null); var canonicalPaperList = psv.GetCanonicalMediaNameList(ps).Cast<string>().ToList(); }

Q2: Are you referring to the NamesPlotStyles or Layout PlotSettings ?

NamedPlotStyles: see Dictionary Acad_PlotSettings

Layout PlotSettings: see Layout (plotSettings.CopyFrom(layout));

Q1: thank your SEML1362, but your suggestion that uses "null" as the third argument is not working. any other solutions?

Q2: i will dig in.

Add these three lines before the using (var ps...)

Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.PlotConfigManager.SetCurrentConfig(pc3DeviceName); var plotConfig = Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.PlotConfigManager.CurrentConfig; plotConfig.RefreshMediaNameList();

AutoCAD 2022:

Note: the pc3DeviceName must exists in the:

Add this to verify:

var psv = PlotSettingsValidator.Current; var PlotDeviceList = psv.GetPlotDeviceList().Cast<string>().ToList();
