Sergey, after some testing I have follows: everything goes right if I add my custom polyline directly to cadImage: this.cadImage.Converter.Entities.Add(myPolyline); Everything that I try to add to block / insert is not visible on the screen in dxf file. Everything that I add to cadImage directly wor...

Sergey, I cannot provide you with all code it is complex, but my schema is like this: 1. I create my own class Polyline wich inherits from CADPolyline. ...Create polyline adding some vertexes and add it to block (my own class) 2. I create my own class Block which inherits from CADBlock and adds it t...

Hello, Sergey! I have a problem with export of my drawing (created from scratch) to DXF, which I do with the following code: CADImport.Export.DirectCADtoDXF.CADtoDXF exp = new CADImport.Export.DirectCADtoDXF.CADtoDXF(cadImage); exp.SaveToFile("C:\\...\\dxf.dxf"); The resulted file is empty (4K) - se...

Hi Sergey, Can you please clarify how to add gradient color to the shape built with polyline? Help file is not very explanative. The first question is adding Boundaries . Does it mean that I have to always use 2DBoundaryList to add them? Can I add any entity as a border? And where I can find Boundar...

Do you have an estimate on when this problem will be resolved?

Is there a work around for this issue?

Thank you.

Sergey, I have a big problem with X-axis rotation. Can you clarify me this issue? I created 3D shape with copying one polyline to another adding some height to Z-axis vertexes... Both polylines were added to block, so as I understand they should behave the same while making X-axis rotation (the shap...

Sergey,

drawing with polyline I met one more problem that I need your clarification.
In my drawing I need to emphasize some parts of it either with didfferent color or different line weight. Is it possible for polylines and how? I didn't find that answer in your examples.

Sergey, your answer is not very clear for me and maybe is too emotional. I don't ask you to calculate anything, sorry if my words can be interpreted that way. I try to solve the same problem as other clients of yours in the forum do - finding an easiest way to represent 3D part. From your examples I...

Sergey, does your answer mean, that creating polylines with 3D coordinates I get a 2D representation of the drawing (Z-axis is outside the screen), but rotating the part around X and Y axices gives me the proper 3D representation? In other words I don't have to worry about calculating angles for dra...

There is also interesting thing.
For all entities except lines work also the code
For lines work only

I use

block.Entities[key]=entity;

But the problem seems to be resolved. I didn't change the key from your example in all my functions.

Sergey, I tryed your example, it seems that it is exactly what I was looking for. I still have a problem. When I try to change z coordinates from your example, nothing change in drawing. But changing X and Y coordinates change the image. Can it be something wrong with my original parameters/mapping,...

Yes, I have on the screen some kind of zooming window with some entities f.ex. blocks in it... And the question connected to this task - can I change some properties (color, size, etc...) for the entire block. I have seen these properties for the block entity, but it doesn't seem to perform the task...

Sergey, Sorry, I have one more confusion in understanding of accessing entities inside the collection of block. As I understand, I can assign any string key to the entity in order to access it directly without looping through the entire collection. However, when I check AllKeys property of my block,...

Sergey, thank you for your reply. It is very helpful, honestly. At this point I have only one problem with drawing polylines. I am still not sure about adding arcs. I assume that the best thing about polyline is adding entities to it without thinking about coordinates, just using start/end points. F...
