Import dwg content into current dwg:

[My_Civil_3D]

Hi guys i am looking for a way to import content from a dwg into my current drawing. ive seen several different code to import blocks from a drawing into another which i can do. but it needs to import all content of the model space into the current one at a user specified point. i cant seem to figure this out its way above my skill level if its possible

Hi,

You can use this overload of the Database.Insert method.

Here's an example:

private static void InsertDwgContents(string fileName, Point3d insertionPoint)
{
    var doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
    var db = doc.Database;
    var transform = Matrix3d.Displacement(insertionPoint.GetAsVector());
    using (var sourceDatabase = new Database(false, true))
    {
        sourceDatabase.ReadDwgFile(fileName, FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndAllShare, true, null);
        db.Insert(transform, sourceDatabase, true);
    }
}
