zebiya · Post by **zebiya** » 14 Feb 2007, 22:48

Hi

With cadimporter.dll demo in VB I can see all entities from my dwgs Ñ—how can I select them using the mouse?

Another question: with dxfexport.dll Ñ—how can I make different layers in my dxf output?

Thanks in advance for your help

I will remake my first question: When using cadimporter.dll Ñ—how can i know which entity is the nearest to the mouse cursor? I am sure there is a function for that purpose.

Regarding my second question, I simply cannot believe that it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to make a dxf with several layers using your software. Ñ—Is this (those) features implemented in .NET or VCL?

I kindly ask you to answer a bit more quickly than the other message. I really need your support to be good

Hello!

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
We would like you to pay attention on CAD Import .NET: http://www.cadsofttools.com/download/cadimportnet.zip

Extended version of this library allows:
<ul><li>selecting an entity of the CAD image at the specified point - CADImage.SelectExt Method.</li>
<li>creating new layers:

Code: Select all

<font color="blue">private void</font id="blue"> btnAddLayer_Click(<font color="blue">object</font id="blue"> sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	CADLayer lay1 = <font color="blue">new</font id="blue"> CADLayer();
	lay1.Name = "MyLayer";
	lay1.Color = Color.RoyalBlue;
	lay1.Visibility = <font color="blue">true</font id="blue">;
	<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.FCADImage.Converter.Layers.Add(lay1);
	<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.FCADImage.Converter.OnCreate(lay1);
	<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.FCADImage.Converter.Loads(lay1);

	//Add circle
	DPoint pt1 = <font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.GetRealPointUsingsgImagePoint(100, 100);
	DPoint pt2 = <font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.GetRealPointUsingsgImagePoint(200, 200);		
	double dX = (pt2.X - pt1.X) / 2;
	double dY = (pt2.Y - pt1.Y) / 2;
	CADEllipse ell = <font color="blue">new</font id="blue"> CADEllipse();
	ell.Point = <font color="blue">new</font id="blue"> DPoint(pt1.X + dX, pt1.Y + dY, 0);
	ell.RadPt = <font color="blue">new</font id="blue"> DPoint((pt2.X - pt1.X) / 2, (pt2.Y - pt2.Y) / 2, 0);
	ell.Ratio = dY / dX;
	ell.Color = Color.Aqua;
	ell.Layer = lay1;
	ell.Loaded(<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.FCADImage.Converter);

	<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.FCADImage.CurrentLayout.Entities.Add(ell);
	<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.FCADImage.Converter.OnCreate(ell);

	SaveAsDXF("c:\\NewLayer.dxf");		
}

</li></ul>

Example above is based on Viewer demo. Please find it in the ..\sources\Viewer\.. of the package.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer, Sergey.

So, as I have understood, these features you commented are not implemented in cadimporter.dll nor in dxfexport.dll, and are only available in .NET Ñ—is this correct?

Hello Zebiya!

Yes, it is.

CAD Import .NET (http://www.cadsofttools.com/download/cadimportnet.zip) allows selecting entities by mouse and creating new layers.
 
CAD Importer DLL (http://www.cadsofttools.com/download/cadimporterdll.zip) does not allow selecting entities by mouse.
 
DXF Exporter DLL (http://www.cadsofttools.com/download/dxfexportdll.zip) does not allow creating new layers.
