SendStringToExecute method

Anonymous — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 08:52:55 GMT

In VB. Net sending commands directly to the AutoCAD command line by using SendStringToExecute method.
EchoCommand parameter set to False. Command sent not visible in the AutoCAD command line, but we can see it after clicking the right mouse. Is there any method to see .NET command as last one insteed the LISP one sent by .NET?

No, and is why it's a bad idea to use SendStringToExecute()

to script AutoCAD commands, regardless of what you may

have read suggesting otherwise, on some Autodesk blog.

You can define a command using the CommandMethod

attribute, and add the CommandFlags.NoHistory flag to it.

From that method you can execute AutoCAD commands

synchronously using the code at the link below.

You can run your command with SendStringToExecute()

and AutoCAD will not repeat it when the user presses

enter, as long as it has the CommandFlags.NoHistory bit.

Tony T.

I thought I read somewhere when the user clicks a button on custom ribbon you built to use the SendStringToExecute method

Do you suggest doing that?

Sorry, I don't understand the question given the way it was put.
