REGEN3 via API

[phliberato]

Is there some way to call this Autocad command (REGEN3) by way of API .NET?

[MateusMaciel]

Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

doc.Editor.Regen();

Thanks for your reply @MateusMaciel , but this Regen3 command is for 3D Objects.

This Editor.Regen is that one:

Obrigado pela atenção!

@phliberato sorry,

You have tried the following:

Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

doc.SendStringToExecute("REGEN3\n", true, false, false);

In this case, it would run via a command prompt;

I have already used this approach as workaround, but I'm looking for some API function approach.

Hi Pedro,

I have a situation where I also need Regen3.

Did you find an API eqivalent to the command?

Some years ago I received  next code from ADN DevHelp:

Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsSystem.Manager mpManager = doc.GraphicsManager;
Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsSystem.KernelDescriptor descriptor = 
                  new Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsSystem.KernelDescriptor();
descriptor.addRequirement(Autodesk.AutoCAD.UniqueString.Intern("3D Drawing"));
Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsSystem.GraphicsKernel kernal =
                  Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsSystem.Manager.AcquireGraphicsKernel(descriptor);
 
Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsSystem.Model Model = mpManager.GetDBModel(kernal);
 
Model.Invalidate(Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsSystem.InvalidationHint.InvalidateAll);
 
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor.Regen();

You can try it.

Hi @ChristianBlei ,

Good to see you here!

I didn't find an API eqivalent to this Regen3 command. However I noticed that in CAD recent versions the Regen command works well instead of Regen3 but I don't use the Regen function of Editor class, because it doesn't update the Project Explorer of Advance Steel. I submitted a pull request for the AS Dynamo plugin that I used this approach.

Maybe in your case the code that @Alexander.Rivilis sent it will work to you.

Hi Alexander,

thank you for sharing this snippet. It fixed the problems I have with representation of Advance Steel parts in 3D Visual styles, Conceptual ,e.g....

Do you recall differences to what Regen3 is doing?

best regards,
