Editor.Command - does not exist?

Grzegorz Paśko

Hello,

I'm trying to write my application that works well in AutoCAD for the BricsCAD.

Till now, I don't have much problems, but I came across to the Editor.Command void.

Does anyone know, how can I send specify command to the BricsCAD? Like d.Command("FILEDIA", "0") ?

Thanks.

FILEDIA is a system variable, so you can directly access variables from NET, without command interface :-)

As far as I know, sending commands should not be a problem in our NET interface ?
You might send us a support request, with a sample project, so our developers can adjust + improve that,
and/or adjust and improve our NET implementation

many greetings !

 FILEDIA was just an example

Here is little more advanced function which invoke standard BREAK command, but user have to only once select point to break:

[code]

 Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

            Database db = doc.Database;

            Editor ed = doc.Editor;

            PromptEntityOptions peo = new PromptEntityOptions("\nChoose line to break: ");

            peo.SetRejectMessage("Tylko linia albo polilinia.");

            peo.AddAllowedClass(typeof(Curve), false);

            PromptEntityResult per = ed.GetEntity(peo);

            if (per.Status != PromptStatus.OK) return;

            ObjectId curveId = per.ObjectId;

            PromptPointResult ppr = ed.GetPoint("\nSelect point where to break: ");

            if (ppr.Status != PromptStatus.OK) return;

            Point3d breakPoint = ppr.Value;

            ed.Command("_.break", curveId, "_first", breakPoint, breakPoint);

[/code]

In old version (ACAD 2007) I have to do this like below:

[code]

            Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

            Editor ed = doc.Editor;

            Database db = doc.Database;

            PromptEntityOptions peo = new PromptEntityOptions("\nWybierz obiekt do rozbicia");

            PromptEntityResult per = ed.GetEntity(peo);

            if (per.Status != PromptStatus.OK)

                return;

            PromptPointOptions ppo = new PromptPointOptions("\nWskaż punkt rozbicia");

            PromptPointResult ppr = ed.GetPoint(ppo);

            if (ppr.Status != PromptStatus.OK)

                return;

            Point3d first = ppr.Value;

            ResultBuffer rb = new ResultBuffer();

            rb.Add(new TypedValue(5005, "BREAK"));

            rb.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.ObjectId, per.ObjectId));

            rb.Add(new TypedValue(5005, ""));

            rb.Add(new TypedValue(5005, "F"));

            rb.Add(new TypedValue(5005, string.Format("{0},{1},{2}", first.X, first.Y, first.Z)));

            rb.Add(new TypedValue(5005, string.Format("{0},{1},{2}", first.X, first.Y, first.Z)));

            Utilities.acedCmd(rb.UnmanagedObject);

[/code]

 Anyone know why acedCmd doesn't work for me (BCAD v16):

[code] [DllImport("Brx16.DLL", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public extern static int acedCmd(System.IntPtr vlist);[/code]

Hi, its better to use static bool Bricscad.Global.Editor.Command(ResultBuffer args), which wraps acedCmd

Exactly what I was looking for! I did not managed to hide my excitement  Cheers!
