Is it possible to change output drawings througth Advance Steel API?

Hello, Advance Steel devs!

Has anyone tried developing plugins to modify Advance Steel output drawings (details)?

I have some plug-ins to change model objects, create model objects, get specific data from model.

But I have never seen examples of development for working with Advance Steel drawings.

May be add specific labels or marks, or change presentation of objects view...
I can write lines, arcs or tables in drawings, but only througth AUTOCAD API.

What about examples of code (C#) for Advance Steel drawings?

Hello @NinovSM ,
Currently there is no Advance Steel API for processing objects in Advance Steel drawings and, as you said, all you can do is to rely on AutoCAD API.
You can post this request on the "Advance Steel Ideas" forum section if it's not already there.

Yes we have done that through ImpEntity handling through CAD object Arx

Some tricky thing also work when i use some sql updates on the tables        refreshing drawings change the data

 

Some of the objects are virtual blocks that we cant access with c# , using c++ or Lisp (calling vlisp)  works
