This example shows how to:
//-------------------------------------------------------------- // Preconditions: // 1. Create a C# console project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. // 2. Copy and paste this example into the C# IDE. // 3. Add a reference to: // install_dir\APISDK\tlb\DraftSight.Interop.dsAutomation.dll. // 4. Add References to System and System.Windows.Forms. // 5. Start DraftSight. // 6. Ensure that the file specified to open exits. // 7. Press F11 to step into the code. // 8. Press F10 repeatedly to step through the code. Observe // the changes in the model document and ViewTiles while // stepping through the code. // // Postconditions: // 1. Opens the specified file. // 2. Inserts four ViewTiles. // 3. Iterates through the four ViewTiles. For each ViewTile: // a. Turns off displaying the coordinate system at the // the origin. // b. Specifies to display the coordinate system at the origin. // c. Turns on displaying the coordinate system at the // origin. // 4. Close the model document without saving any changes. //---------------------------------------------------------------- using System; using DraftSight.Interop.dsAutomation; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Windows.Forms; static class Module1 { public static void Main() { DraftSight.Interop.dsAutomation.Application dsApp; Document dsDoc = null; Model dsModel = null; //Connect to DraftSight dsApp = (DraftSight.Interop.dsAutomation.Application)Marshal.GetActiveObject("DraftSight.Application"); //Abort any command currently running //in DraftSight to avoid nested commands dsApp.AbortRunningCommand(); //Open document string docName = "C:\\ProgramData\\Dassault Systemes\\DraftSight\\Examples\\A-54643.DWG"; dsDoc = dsApp.OpenDocument2(docName, dsDocumentOpenOption_e.dsDocumentOpen_Default, dsEncoding_e.dsEncoding_Default); //Get active document dsDoc = dsApp.GetActiveDocument(); if ((dsDoc != null)) { //Get model space dsModel = dsDoc.GetModel(); } else { MessageBox.Show("There are no open documents in DraftSight."); return; } //Insert ViewTiles object[] viewTiles = new object[4]; long index = 0; ViewTile dsViewTile = default(ViewTile); viewTiles = (object[])dsModel.InsertViewTiles(dsViewTilesMode_e.dsViewTilesMode_4_Left, dsViewTilesApplyTo_e.dsViewTilesApplyTo_ActiveViewTile); if (viewTiles != null) { for (index = viewTiles.GetLowerBound(0); index <= viewTiles.GetUpperBound(0); index++) { dsViewTile = (ViewTile)viewTiles[index]; //Turn off displaying coordinate system icon at origin dsViewTile.CSIconIsOn = false; if (!(dsViewTile.CSIconIsOn)) { //Display coordinate system at origin dsViewTile.CSIconAtOrigin = true; //Turn on displaying coordinate system icon at origin dsViewTile.CSIconIsOn = true; } } } } }
