Autocad Map file still in use after import

andrew_demerchant — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 15:14:46 GMT

I'm able to import some shp files without any trouble...but for some reason, autocad is keeping the files open after the import, and I want to delete them. I've tried disposing and/or setting vars to nothing, but can't seem to get them released without closing Autocad completely. Anyone have any tips?

They have to be removed from the attached drawing set. You can check for .DWK files (lock).

Something like this.

if (prjModel.DrawingSet.AllDrawingsCount > 0)
                        while (prjModel.DrawingSet.AllDrawingsCount > 0)
                            prjModel.DrawingSet.DetachDrawing(0);

Thanks for the reply, but these shp files are imported, not attached...There are being brought in using an Autodesk.Gis.Map.HostMapApplicationServices.Application.Importer

I see. You could try posting in the Map 3D Developer forum. Dcoumentation seems to be a bit scarce.

That's putting it lightly! Thanks - I'll try the Map 3D forum.
