How to process drawings silently

Anonymous — Fri, 24 Jul 2015 16:25:10 GMT

I want to make my application efficient for processing large amounts of drawings. All my routine is doing is opening the drawings to extract certain attribute info from it. Is there a way to process the drawings without having them load graphically in AutoCAD?

Thanks!

You can sideload the drawings

        {
            string FileName = @"c:\filename.dwg";
            using (Database db = new Database(false, true))
            {
                db.ReadDwgFile(FileName, FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndReadShare, false, "");
            }
        }

Hi,

Looks like a job for the "Core Console", core console it's a UI stripped down Autocad, just the command line, and not much more, and the best of all, it's programmable via .NET, a start here: Core Console

I was checking the core console out, but I still need to be able to process specific VB.NET code on the drawings as they open.

Thanks
