[kite15]

Hi,

I am trying to open some AutoCAD file from a Location. After that in the newly opened file added a circle as required. Finally, Close the drawing file with save the newly drawing files.

Actually an error message shown that "Drawing is busy (COMException was caught)".

I have search so many link where discussed about the same. Whereas I am confuse which one the concrete solution for this type of coding.

Here is my Code please help!!

        [CommandMethod("OPSV",CommandFlags.Session)]
        public static void OpenSaveDwgFiles()
        {
            Document doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Database db = doc.Database;
            try
            {
                var path = @"C:\TestBack\";
                string dwgFlpath = string.Empty;
                DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(path);
                FileInfo[] Files = d.GetFiles("*.dwg");
                //string str = "";
                foreach (FileInfo file in Files)
                {
                    DocumentCollection docMgr = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager;
                    var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FullName);
                    dwgFlpath = path+fileName;
                    DocumentCollectionExtension.Open(docMgr, dwgFlpath,false);
                    using (DocumentLock LckDoc = doc.LockDocument())
                    {
                        using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
                        {
                            BlockTable bt = tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) as BlockTable;
                            BlockTableRecord btr = tr.GetObject(bt[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace], OpenMode.ForWrite) as BlockTableRecord;
                            using (Circle crcl = new Circle())
                            {
                                crcl.Center = new Point3d(1, 1, 0);
                                crcl.Radius = 2;
                                btr.AppendEntity(crcl);
                                tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(crcl, true);
                            }
                            tr.Commit();
                        } 
                    }
                    //doc.CloseAndDiscard();
                    doc.CloseAndSave(dwgFlpath.Substring(0,dwgFlpath.Length-4));
                }

            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
                Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor.WriteMessage(ex.ToString());
            }
        }

Dear Experts,

We dont know why even after so many years they are not giving record c sharp macro , record other(vbs or scr ) macros as .cs files or .vbs files 

Note

the Activity recorder is dumb concept now. People are habituated to create scripts on their mobiles and on social networking. They expect these (record csharp macros) as most fundamental requirement as command line. Word, Excel , powerpoint has made users too much greedy for these features        (Please understand)

Document doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

Hi Sir

I want to change the input (Link) that's the input from the user.

What's the class or Method for this?

Thank you!
