Draw order

[gswifort]

I think I know how to change the drawing order in ActiveX, but how do I do it in ARX?

from pyrx import Rx, Ge, Gi, Db, Ap, Ed, Ax, command

@command
def doit():
    db = Db.curDb()
    ps1, id1, _ = Ed.Editor.entSel("\nSelect\n")
    ps2, id2, _ = Ed.Editor.entSel("\nSelect\n")

    idmap = {}
    idmap[id1] = "first"
    idmap[id2] = "second"

    model = Db.BlockTableRecord(db.modelSpaceId())
    sortEnts = model.getSortentsTable(Db.OpenMode.kForWrite, True)
    sortEnts.swapOrder(id1, id2)

    for item in sortEnts.getFullDrawOrder(1):
        print(idmap[item])

    sortEnts.swapOrder(id1, id2)

    for item in sortEnts.getFullDrawOrder(1):
        print(idmap[item])

    sortEnts.moveToTop([id1])
    sortEnts.moveToBottom([id2])

    for item in sortEnts.getFullDrawOrder(1):
        print(idmap[item])

    sortEnts.moveToTop([id2])
    sortEnts.moveToBottom([id1])

    for item in sortEnts.getFullDrawOrder(1):
        print(idmap[item])

added in [#243], I'll to the Ax version later

Thank you for changing your priorities every time.

Ax

from pyrx import Rx, Ge, Gi, Db, Ap, Ed, Ax, command


@command
def doitx():
    axApp = Ap.Application.acadApplication()
    axDoc = axApp.activeDocument()
    axModel = axDoc.modelSpace()

    ex = axModel.extensionDictionary()
    dicts = [i.objectName() for i in ex.items()]
    if not "AcDbSortentsTable" in dicts:
        ex.addObject("ACAD_SORTENTS", "AcDbSortentsTable")

    axSortEnts = Ax.AcadSortentsTable.cast(ex.object("ACAD_SORTENTS"))

    ps1, id1, _ = Ed.Editor.entSel("\nSelect\n")
    ps2, id2, _ = Ed.Editor.entSel("\nSelect\n")

    axEnt1 = Ax.AcadEntity.cast(id1.acadObject())
    axEnt2 = Ax.AcadEntity.cast(id2.acadObject())

    idmap = {}
    idmap[axEnt1] = "first"
    idmap[axEnt2] = "second"

    for item in axSortEnts.fullDrawOrder(True):
        print(idmap[item])

    axSortEnts.swapOrder(axEnt1, axEnt2)

    for item in axSortEnts.fullDrawOrder(True):
        print(idmap[item])

    axSortEnts.moveToTop([axEnt1])
    axSortEnts.moveToBottom([axEnt2])

    for item in axSortEnts.fullDrawOrder(True):
        print(idmap[item])

    axSortEnts.moveToTop([axEnt2])
    axSortEnts.moveToBottom([axEnt1])

    for item in axSortEnts.fullDrawOrder(True):
        print(idmap[item])

SortentsTable.moveToBottom does not accept empty iterable

from pyrx import Db, command

@command
def doit():
    db = Db.curDb()

    model = Db.BlockTableRecord(db.modelSpaceId())
    sortEnts = model.getSortentsTable(Db.OpenMode.kForWrite, True)
    sortEnts.moveToBottom([])

PyDb.ErrorStatusException: Exception!(eInvalidInput), function moveToBottom, Line 2348, File PyDbSymbolTableRecord.cpp:

I’m always hesitant to change the behavior of default ARX or eat an error status

but the question is whether it is raised only when iterable is empty

Will throw eInvalidInput if any input object ID is not in the associated block, or eDuplicateKey if any object ID appears twice in the input array.

[gswifort]

Ok, that's not a big problem. I can create a tuple instead of Iterable. it's unnecessary storing of references, but ObjectId doesn't take much memory :)

[CEXT-Dan]

from this wrapper perspective Iterable is meant to mean, any collection of objects or objectids, it’s not an action on each item, it is the item
Maybe Iterable is wrong in the docstring? How can I express “any collection of objectids that will be converted to AcDbObjectIdArray”?

typing.Collection

thanks, I'll change it
