Using REVCLOUD with Editor.Command()

[tvhlong93]

Hi,

I need to use the REVCLOUD command via .NET. But when I use the command by Editor.Command(), it has different options between using the REVCLOUD command in AutoCAD.

Why are the options different? And how can I get all the options? Please help me with this problem. Thank you.

Command: MYCOMMAND

Minimum arc length: 0.5000 Maximum arc length: 0.5000 Style: Normal Type: Freehand
Specify start point or [Arc length/Object/Style] <Object>: *Cancel*

Select insertion point: *Cancel*

Command: REVCLOUD

Minimum arc length: 12.0000 Maximum arc length: 12.0000 Style: Normal Type: Rectangular
Specify first corner point or [Arc length/Object/Rectangular/Polygonal/Freehand/Style/Modify] <Object>: *Cancel*

Hi,

can you please share the code which can be used to reproduce the issue..like

[CommandMethod("testREVCLOUD")]
public void testREVCLOUD()
{
Editor ed = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;
ed.Command("_.REVCLOUD", "_Arc", 4.0, 4.0);

}

Sorry for the late response. Here's the code.

[CommandMethod("MYCOMMAND")]
public static void TestRevCloud()
{
    Document doc = acApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
    Database db = doc.Database;
    Editor ed = doc.Editor;
    double scale = 12;
    ed.Command("_.REVCLOUD", "_ARC", 0.25 * scale, 0.25 * scale);
}

This is message when I use the "MYCOMMAND"

Command: MYCOMMAND

Minimum arc length: 0.5000 Maximum arc length: 0.5000 Style: Normal Type: Freehand
Specify start point or [Arc length/Object/Style] <Object>: *Cancel*

The following message is when I use the "REVCLOUD" which is the AutoCAD command

Command: REVCLOUD

Minimum arc length: 0.5000 Maximum arc length: 0.5000 Style: Normal Type: Rectangular
Specify first corner point or [Arc length/Object/Rectangular/Polygonal/Freehand/Style/Modify] <Object>: *Cancel*

They show different options when picking a point and the command sent through Editor.Command doesn't have options like "Rectangular", "Polygonal",.. and it forces the user to use the "Freehand" type only.

Hi,

not sure why you are getting the mentioned results in AutoCAD. I am attaching the output of your code at my end. 

[tvhlong93]

Yes, the command only has three options: [Arc length/Object/Style]. Options in the image are missing (in red color).

I want my custom command to act like a normal REVCLOUD command which has full option.
For more information, I am referring to AutoCAD 2020 API. 

[Virupaksha_aithal]

Thanks for the image. Try SendStringToExecute API. This API normally simulates AutoCAD UI behavior. 

Note : SendStringToExecute works asynchronously .

You can try set Editor.InitCommandVersion

[tvhlong93]

I still have some code after that so I skip this method at the start. The answer of Alexander.Rivilis has solved this problem with Editor.InitCommandVersion(2).
Thank you for your support.

[tvhlong93]

Thank you very much.
Do you have any information about the input version, please send me the document about it for reference if you have one. I can only find the information below but it doesn't help much. Anyway, I tried with Editor.InitCommandVersion(2) and it worked as expected.

Sorry, but there is no other (public) document, which describe using this method.

Also read this post: https://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2015/10/creating-a-rectangular-revcloud-using-acedcommands.ht...

Thank you. I get the ideas.
