Can anyone help？ I have use DataBase.insert method to insert a block to current database, it's has no problem in version 2021 , the block displayed correctly , but it no working in version 2023.

source code：

Document acDoc = AuCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

Database acCurDb = acDoc.Database;

using (Transaction acTrans = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())

{

Database headerDb = new Database();

headerDb.ReadDwgFile( path + "/blk.dwg", FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndAllShare, true, null); headerDb.CloseInput(true);

Point3d basePoint = getPartListBasePosition();

Vector3d v = basePoint.GetAsVector();

v += new Vector3d(0, 56.0, 0);

Matrix3d mat = Matrix3d.Displacement(v);

acCurDb.Insert(mat, headerDb, false);

acTrans.Commit();

}

What does not working mean? What happens? Is there an exception? Is there any sign of a block being created in the destination database?

Lastly, have you tried passing true in the last argument to Insert() instead of false?

Thank you for your reply!

I have create a new "dwg" document in CAD version 2023 , I want to insert a block , but the block does not display in drawing ， and has no exception . I don't know if the insertion was successful or failed。
In CAD version 2021 ，the insertion is successful and the block is displayed.

Again, did you try changing the 3rd argument to Insert()?

After changing the third parameter, the effect remains the same.

Hi,

You have to use this Database constructor with buildDefaultDrawing = false and noDocument = true.

You should dispose the newly created database when you're done with it (typically with a using statement).

You do not need a transaction.

This works for me.

var activeDocument = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; var targetDatabase = activeDocument.Database; using (var sourceDatabase = new Database(false, true)) { sourceDatabase.ReadDwgFile(sourceFileName, FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndAllShare, true, null); targetDatabase.Insert(Matrix3d.Displacement(position.GetAsVector()), sourceDatabase, true); }
