I think it depends on how long you need the object to exist. You can hold the image in memory for the session and draw it with an overrule. Or if you need the image to be saved, attaching a raster. You might ask Bricsys how to apply it to a tin surface. But you can also draw it as an overrule. |

It think it’s because you have incorrect indentation with lt.downgradeOpen() Aslo hasFields is asking if the object has an AcDbField object. It’s not relevant to most things unless your working with Text or MText OpenState is a continuous battle with Arx, .NET and Python. The best way to deal with this in Python is to break out areas like this into their own function, for example you can create a function addLayers, Python will automatically garbage collect LayerTable and LayerTableRecords import traceback

It may be better to work from the block table, since there could be multiple references to a block import traceback

for btrid in bt.toDict().values():
btr = Db.BlockTableRecord(btrid)
if btr.isLayout():
continue
if btr.isFromExternalReference():
continue
ents = [Db.Entity(id, Db.OpenMode.kForWrite) for id in btr.objectIds()]
for ent in ents:
ent.setColor(clr)

btr = Db.BlockTableRecord(btrid)
if btr.isLayout() or btr.isFromExternalReference():
continue
for id in btr.objectIds():
Db.Entity(id, Db.OpenMode.kForWrite).setColor(clr)
print("Set block colors to isByBlock", clr.isByBlock())
# Setting blockrefs to ByLayer
clr.setColorIndex(256)

Db.Entity(id, Db.OpenMode.kForWrite).setColor(clr)
print("Set blockref colors to isByLayer", clr.isByLayer())

Trim sideloaded DWG by closed polylineLooking to script the following behaviour:
Any assistance for 3. is greatly appreciated. The blocks to be trimmed may be over 100M in size. |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-

3, is pretty difficult. Trim uses AcDbCurve.getSplitCurves, so only objects that derive from curve can be split. Blocks add another layer of complexity as you can’t trim a block, and they can have their own coordinate systems if the reference is scaled or rotated. If the block has only one reference, and the coordinate systems are aligned. Then you can split the curves inside the block. If the block is scaled or rotated, then you will have to transform either the curve, or the boundary to match. Otherwise, you’ll probably have to explode the reference, split the curves, then create new blocks and references to replace them 100G? if by this you mean extraordinarily large files, if BricsCAD can open the files without issue, then you have a chance. If there’s a lot of memory pressure, then breaking the code up is probably a good idea, so items can be garbage collected |

Thanks for the hints. Sorry for the size, it's only 100M max. Also I forgot to mention that there are entity types not derived from AcDbCurve in my understanding. Example 1: Example 2: Surfaces, sweeps, solids, hatches... a potpourri. Do you see a way to handle that? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
To actually trim the objects, you’d probably have to explode all the objects down until they are curves, the objects would also need to be planar with the boundary. If it’s just for visuals, I would consider using XCLIP or creating a SpatialFilter, I see I have SpatialFilter wrapped, but I’ve only tested Get Clip Boundary |

I have used XCLIP so far. I am considering to transmit a partial clipped export. By the looks it seems though too complicated. |

Is there a native event listener for xref? I'd like to listen for a status change. It seems that AutoCAD does listen for an xref change, as it gives me a notification whenever I save my changes to a file that I reference in another tab. After searching through the ObjectARX reference, the closest thing I could find was a reactor that could listen for xref subcommands. I might be able to use RxVariableReactor though |

In my tests, I could neither take advantage of Editor Reactor and DbObjectReactors (Granted, I only tested modify and openformodify, but those were the only 2 I thought had a chance of working). Instead of tracking the xref status, I'll just make a event listener for save that once triggered, reloads xrefs. |
