How to create DSD file..

Anonymous — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:19:48 GMT

Hi guys! How can I create DSD file to use with -publish command? Is there any AutoCAD Command to use or I must create it by code? If so, where can I find some docs about its strucutre?

Thanks Enrico

Imports System.IO

If System.IO.File.Exists(File Name Here) = True Then
System.IO.File.Delete(File Name Here)
End If

Dim objReader As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter("File Name Here", True)
objReader.WriteLine("Text Here")
objReader.Close()

That is what you need to create files.. (the first part checks if one already exists, and deletes it)

as to structure.. have AutoCAD create one then open it and reproduce 🙂

I did it and without write the file "manually". Using PlottingServices I can use a magical object that do it for me, I have only to add some informations about Layouts to pubblish and other informations.

Thanks
