How to Explode DimStyle with .Net

ootsuka109 — Sat, 02 Sep 2023 07:05:25 GMT

I'm trying to make software that uses .NET(c#) to explode dimension objects only.

but I can't think of a good idea.

Is there anyone help me?

public abstract class Dimension : Entity

10 Dimension types are derived from Dimension.

Entity is explodable

public void Explode(DBObjectCollection entitySet)
{ }

Have you tried Explode ??

I haven't tried it, but you should . . . because someone will ask for sure 🙂

Perhaps have a play with this.

The PromptEntityOptions will select anything derived from Dimension.

Will be fairly simple to modify if you want to select multiple objects at one time.

[CommandMethod("EXPDim")] public void ExplodeDimensions() { Document doc = CadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Database db = doc.Database; Editor ed = doc.Editor; RXClass rxClass = RXObject.GetClass(typeof(Dimension)); DBObjectCollection explodedObjects = new DBObjectCollection(); PromptEntityOptions peo = new PromptEntityOptions( "\nSelect a dimension to explode : "); peo.SetRejectMessage($"Selected object is not an {rxClass.Name}"); peo.AddAllowedClass(typeof(Dimension), exactMatch: false); bool finished = false; while (!finished) { PromptEntityResult result = ed.GetEntity(peo); if (result.Status != PromptStatus.OK) { finished = true; return; } using (var tr = db.TransactionManager.StartOpenCloseTransaction()) { explodedObjects.Clear(); Entity ent = (Entity)tr.GetObject( result.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForRead); ent.Explode(explodedObjects); // optional (EraseOriginal(ed)) // if (explodedObjects.Count > 0 ) { ent.UpgradeOpen(); ent.Erase(); } BlockTableRecord btr = (BlockTableRecord)tr.GetObject( db.CurrentSpaceId, OpenMode.ForWrite); foreach (DBObject obj in explodedObjects) { Entity explodedEntity = (Entity)obj; if(explodedEntity is MText) { // just for giggles, to visually identify dimensions processed. explodedEntity.ColorIndex = 211; } btr.AppendEntity(explodedEntity); tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(explodedEntity, true); } tr.Commit(); } } } internal bool EraseOriginal(Editor ed) { PromptKeywordOptions pko = new PromptKeywordOptions("\nErase original objects?") { AllowNone = true }; pko.Keywords.Add("Yes"); pko.Keywords.Add("No"); pko.Keywords.Default = "Yes"; PromptResult pkr = ed.GetKeywords(pko); if (pkr.Status != PromptStatus.OK) return false; return (pkr.StringResult == "Yes"); }

modified note 20230904:

changed variable name @Anonymous to rxClass because the post software here didn't display @Anonymous.

This routine has had minimal testing, so review the code and test.

Thank you for your help.

According your adivise , I could make a code.

I'm sorry for not being able to convey my thanks properly because I'm not good at English.
