#MYATT APP IS IN SPANISH UPGRADE#
If you want modify the block in local, adding missing attributes, you can right click on block object and apply edit block in place, add attributes, save and upgrade the other same blocks.
#MYATT APP IS IN SPANISH CODE#
Hi you create a block with attributes you can use the code below to find your block with a wanted attribute name. Also, besides Attribute, you can also attach data with unique value to block reference (and any type of entity, for that matter) as XData or ExtensionDictionary through your code.īut I'd think, in most cases, attribute is what you are to use, simple, easy and basic for every CAD user. It the attribute is not meant for being visible and only accessed/controlled by programming code (to enforce the uniqueness, for example), you can flag the attribute as "Invisible". Add an attribute to the block with whatever tag you like, such as "Unique Name", "Station Number", or even "Name", and give the attribute a different value in different block reference. If that is the case, AutoCAD's way of using block has already provide this functionality since its beginning of near 40 years ago: using Attribute within block. This extra piece of data can be either visible in drawing as required, or not visible but accessible programmatically (by code) for business reason. But you want give each block reference its own name, like "WorkStation 1" or "WorkStation 2" or "WorkStation 3", or simply "#1", "#2", or "#3". Naturally, all 3 block references have name "WorkStation" shown in the Properties window. Say, you have a block called "WorkStation", and you insert 3 block references of of this block into drawing. It would be better for you to provide more detailed context in which "unique name" means. '' Now you have the running AutoCAD session and the target drawing If UCase(dwg.Name) = "C:\MYFOLDER\MYDWG.DWG" Then

Set cadApp = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application) Set cadApp=GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application") The VBA code should look like something as following: If there is no AutoCAD session, start one and then open the drawing. If the drawing if not found open, open it in AutoCAD. If found, check if the target drawing is open in AutoCAD session or not.
#MYATT APP IS IN SPANISH UPDATE#
I can also get any additional information from the block if required when I import the block into excel.įirstly, it is hardly a good workflow to automate a complicated desktop app, such as AutoCAD from another application (Excel app in your case): user unnecessarily has to face 2 applications for a task.Īnyway, in your Excel VBA side, if you want to update a given drawing, the usual process is to first try to find a running AutoCAD session. But when I have a hundred lines to update and more then a couple of hundred acadenities in the drawing, the looping takes time.ĭo you know of a way to select only that block right off the bat? I also will have the Block Name and it's insertion point. The current code for putting the data back is a series of "for next" or "if then" statements to select the all autocad entities in the dwg, see if they are a dynamic block, see if it is the specific dynamic block I need to update and then update as required. i have most of this working, but it is slow. I would then like it to be sent back into the dwg with the update attribute information and dynamic block information. Does anyone know of a way to select a block in an AutoCAD drawing by it's unique block handle? I am currently working on a program where it takes the block data out of the DWG and put it into excel for additional manipulation.
