Blocks / Re: Beginner: Block Insert Redefinition

oops. Let me know if the attachement does not come through on this one.

for some reason my autocad file had a large file size on it so i had to reduce.

when i initially run the program, the block behave normally in a new dwg. when i save the drawing though, and go back in, it seems to want to scale up the attributes.

I thought it was due to a multiline attribute being used in the block but i'm not sure.

ok. see attached. Thanks!

The block i'm using is multiline annotative. the program inserts the wells utilizing an asc well coordinate file.

ok....i think i know why this is happening. on my initial tests i was using a block with an attribute that did not use multiline text. when i started testing on other blocks in our system which are using multiline text for it's attribute, the text scales incorrectly. I think it is because it is multiline and that the extra line that allows for text input may be throwing the program off. Any suggestions on where to start looking at fixing this? do i need to include a type of line code that tells the program to automatically get out of the text entry of the multiline?....still searching online and in the autodesk online stuff...

thanks again for your help. the code works now, but something strange happens. when i run the routine, it works properly on the file that i use to insert the annotative wells into......they take the annotative property. However, when i xref the file into another drawing, the attributes show themselves as an incorrect size (way larger) than they are shown in the base drawing  they were inserted into. any ideas on where i should start trouble shooting?

ah Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! it works!

ugh. i was trying everything.....


thanks so MUCH Jeff!!!!

(this is my first vb.net converted program and had some stumbling blocks along the way. I would clean it up but would probably break it ....Hopefully my next one will go smoother. Thanks again for all your help!)

i am inserting a "drawing".

we have symbols we use on maps stored in a folder on our system which we would like to be able to have the user select the file to insert it as a routine, which it does. Unfortunetly, it does not insert it as annotative. it works if the block already exists in the drawing that you are running the program.. I've tried all sorts of combinations and the instructions, but i guess i'm missing something. I've thought about solving this thing using clones, but it seems from what i've read you need to have the block inserted into the drawing as a defined block from the drawing that you're trying to clone it from.

I have the code if you would like to look at it. Let me know and i'll attach w/the next post.

I tried all sorts of ways to get that to work and wasn't able to get it to take. Maybe I have my code set up in such a way that won't allow it.

This was great..now i have to get the block/drawing to insert as an annotative block. the block i'm using is annotative, but when i run my routine, it inserts it as false.
(when i assign isAnno=databasein.annotativeDWG is shows up as false, even though block's drawing is annotative.)

when i insert the block into the drawing and make it annotative and then rerun the routine, then the blocks come in annotative.

i think i must not have a setting included. I do try to reassign the blocktablerecord if IsAnno=false using myblockref.Annotative=AnnotativeStates.true, but it doesn not take. Any ideas?

 :pasmal:
Has anyone been able to respond to this one yet? I need to be able to insert a block from an outside drawing and only see how to insert a block from creating one and then updating the definition during the routine/code (Jerry Winters book). There may be a more direct way when a user needs to insert a block from an outside drawing/block? Any code examples would be appreciated (vb.net please)
