How to read ViewPort ??

[sandeep_vaal]

Hello,

I having some questions on paper space records/layout's.

Can we read ViewPort geometry entities.? Is it possible to get whatever data present inside the ViewPort. ?

Can we get scale value for multiple viewports ?

I have written some sample code, to read all the layouts from dwg file. I am trying to read each layout, in that I am able to read other entities like Circle/polyline/Line etc but I am not able to read Viewport.

Can you please have a look on below sample code.

Thanks in advance ‼!

Regards,

Dinesh

      DBDictionary layoutListRecord = transaction.GetObject(this.database.LayoutDictionaryId, OpenMode.ForRead) as DBDictionary;
            if (layoutListRecord != null)
            {
                // Step through and list each named layout and Model
                foreach (DBDictionaryEntry item in this.layoutListRecord)
                {
                    string layoutName = item.Key;
                    // Get the layout and block objects from the external drawing
                    Layout layEx = this.layoutListRecord.GetAt(layoutName).GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead) as Layout;
                    BlockTableRecord blkBlkRecEx = transaction.GetObject(layEx.BlockTableRecordId, OpenMode.ForRead) as BlockTableRecord;

                    
                    foreach (ObjectId id in blkBlkRecEx)
                    {
                        var entity = transaction.GetObject(id, OpenMode.ForRead) as Entity;
                        if (null == entity)
                            continue;
                      

                        if (entity is Viewport)
                        {
                            // How to use this viewport
                            //I want to read the geometry entities from viewport
                            Viewport vPort = entity as Viewport;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

It's best to post your question in the lisp customization forum:

Proabably the .NET forum would be the best place to post.
