Facing a problem when trying to combine Jigs and Palettes, I posted a question on the AutoDesk Discussion Forums.

The problem is as followed: I implemented some code from the TTI blog to create polylines with a Jig. (http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2006/11/controlling_int_1.html)

It is basically a Jig prompting the user to set points while a line is drawn to show the possible result. This mimics the PLINE functionality, which should be familiar to all of us :).

When doing this from a command, all is good. The line appears nicely when the user is moving his mouse. However, when doing this from a button on a palette, the line drawn by the Jig is not visible, nor are snaps.

I also noticed that when running from a command, the comboboxes in the toolbars lock up, but this does not happen from the palette.

To get around this, Tony Tanzillo posted a nice solution with the AddCommand method in Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internals.Utils. This would work nicely, but this particular project is aimed at AutoCad 2007, where the AddCommand method is not yet present.

So, how can you get around this problem without AddCommand?

There may be many answers, but here is my implementation:

Say there’s a Palette where we want to display the number of Points or Vertices in the Polyline the user has just drawn with the Jig.

To display the number of points, we need to have the Polyline that was drawn. So we need to call a method returning the Polyline that was drawn.

Now, the first button is where the problem is. There, I call the Jig directly from the button, and if you’d run the code at the CCN repository, you’d see that the Jig does not really behave as expected.

So, I needed another way. When the Jig is run from a command, the problem is non existent. Bottom line: run a command from the palette, and make sure that the palette receives the result from the command.

We need a command to be run: so that will be the command from the Through The Interface post: MYPOLY. I changed the code a little bit, so that the promt itself is in a separate class.

This simply looks like this:

   1: [CommandMethod("MYPOLY")] 

   2: public void MyPolyJig() 

   3: { 

   4:     new Prompts().PromptNewPolylineByPoints(); 

   5: } 

Second we need a delegate that we can call from the PromptNewPolylineByPoints method, and we need to invoke that delegate from the prompt:

   1: public static Action<Polyline> ActionOnPromptPolyline;

The code stays the same overall, only difference is at the end:

   1: // Added this code, so that a certain action can be called after prompting for polyline

   2: if (ActionOnPromptPolyline != null)

   3: {

   4:     try

   5:     {

   6:         ActionOnPromptPolyline.Invoke(resultingPolyline);

   7:     }

   8:     catch (Exception)

   9:     {

  10:  

  11:         throw;

  12:     }

  13:     finally

  14:     {

  15:         ActionOnPromptPolyline = null;

  16:     }

  17: }

Only thing left to do is setting an action to do when prompting the polyline, and we do this in the buttons Click Event:

   1: private void promptPolylineViaCommand_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

   2: {

   3:  

   4:     // SendStringToExecute has asynchronous behaviour, so we cannot inspect the result of the

   5:     // command here.

   6:  

   7:     // Set the actionOnPromptPolyline delegate to the desired action and 

   8:     // in the command the action will be executed.

   9:     Prompts.ActionOnPromptPolyline = OnPromptPolyline;

  10:  

  11:     // call command

  12:     Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.

  13:         DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute("MYPOLY ", true, false, false);

  14:  

  15: }

And, finally, doing the desired logic on the resulting polyline:

   1: private void OnPromptPolyline(Polyline polyline)

   2: {

   3:     if (polyline == null || !polyline.ObjectId.IsValid)

   4:     {

   5:         numberOfPointsTextbox.Text = "No polyline drawn";

   6:         return;

   7:     }

   8:  

   9:     numberOfPointsTextbox.Text = polyline.NumberOfVertices.ToString();

  10:  

  11: }

That’s it, this nicely solved the problem for me. If you have any other solutions, or a different approach, please share :).

1. Change your CreateObject and GetObject calls from “AutoCAD.Application.17” to “AutoCAD.Application.18”

2. Change the reference “AutoCAD” from “AutoCAD 2009 Type Library” to “AutoCAD 2010 Type Library” (Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop)

3. Change the reference “AXDBLib” from “AutoCAD/ObjectDBX Common 17.0 Type Library” to “AutoCAD/ObjectDBX Common 18.0 Type Library” (Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common)

You will probably have to make some extra changes when reading/saving .dwg’s but I have yet to check those problems.

Note to self: Jeremy Tammik posted a webcast on the Revit API: http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2009/05/revit-api-introduction-webcast.html

I found another blog (partially) focused on .NET in AutoCAD. I didn’t know that there existed one next to Through The Interface…

So, here it is: http://bobbycjones.spaces.live.com/blog/

And he might just have brought me a solution to a problem I’ve been facing today: He mentiones that when using Database.ReadDwgFile, you ALWAYS need to dispose that.

I’ve been struggling with random AccessViolationException error’s when trying to set Block Properties. This might solve it… Let’s hope so.

Code Analysis is a Visual Studio tool that can analyze your code and warn you about bad practices and plain bad code.

It can be a very handy tool that can lift your code to a higher level and allows you to simply create better and more maintainable applications.

However, having code analysis enabled, severely slows down your build. Changing a little thing in code causes Code Analysis to run on the next build, which can be plain annoying.

For these reasons I have created a little Visual Studio Add In, which can disable Code Analysis on all projects in the currently opened solution, and can restore the initial settings.

The project home is: http://code.google.com/p/codeanalyzethis/

You can download the source  here: http://code.google.com/p/codeanalyzethis/downloads/list

Or you can check out the source with SVN: svn checkout http://codeanalyzethis.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
