我们将使用一个中介“side database”-先把dwg读取在内存中,而不是直接导入Autocad编辑器,之后再将“块”导入到我们的正在运行的编辑器(Autocad文件数据库的结构,请参看相关资料)。
下面使C#代码,其中的注释说明了每条的功用。之后,我们也将关键语句,进行分析。
1 using System; 2 using Autodesk.AutoCAD; 3 using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime; 4 using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry; 5 using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices; 6 using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices; 7 using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput; 8 using System.Collections.Generic; 9 10 namespace BlockImport 11 { 12 publicclassBlockImportClass 13 { 14 [CommandMethod("IB")] 15 publicvoid ImportBlocks() 16 { 17 DocumentCollection dm = 18 Application.DocumentManager; 19 Editor ed = dm.MdiActiveDocument.Editor; 20 Database destDb = dm.MdiActiveDocument.Database; 21 Database sourceDb = newDatabase(false, true); 22 PromptResult sourceFileName; 23 try 24 { 25 // Get name of DWG from which to copy blocks 26 sourceFileName = 27 ed.GetString("\nEnter the name of the source drawing: "); 28 // Read the DWG into a side database 29 sourceDb.ReadDwgFile(sourceFileName.StringResult, 30 System.IO.FileShare.Read, 31 true, 32 ""); 33 34 // Create a variable to store the list of block identifiers 35 ObjectIdCollection blockIds = newObjectIdCollection(); 36 37 Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.TransactionManager tm = 38 sourceDb.TransactionManager; 39 40 using (Transaction myT = tm.StartTransaction()) 41 { 42 // Open the block table 43 BlockTable bt = 44 (BlockTable)tm.GetObject(sourceDb.BlockTableId, 45 OpenMode.ForRead, 46 false); 47 48 // Check each block in the block table 49 foreach (ObjectId btrId in bt) 50 { 51 BlockTableRecord btr = 52 (BlockTableRecord)tm.GetObject(btrId, 53 OpenMode.ForRead, 54 false); 55 // Only add named & non-layout blocks to the copy list 56 if (!btr.IsAnonymous && !btr.IsLayout) 57 blockIds.Add(btrId); 58 btr.Dispose(); 59 } 60 } 61 // Copy blocks from source to destination database 62 IdMapping mapping = newIdMapping(); 63 sourceDb.WblockCloneObjects(blockIds, 64 destDb.BlockTableId, 65 mapping, 66 DuplicateRecordCloning.Replace, 67 false); 68 ed.WriteMessage("\nCopied " 69 + blockIds.Count.ToString() 70 + " block definitions from " 71 + sourceFileName.StringResult 72 + " to the current drawing."); 73 } 74 catch(Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Exception ex) 75 { 76 ed.WriteMessage("\nError during copy: " + ex.Message); 77 } 78 sourceDb.Dispose(); 79 } 80 } 81 }
首先,Line21,我们声明并举例了一个Database对象,这样就会在内存中开辟一定空间(也就是我们说的side database),这个空间对于我们是可以进入的,对于Autocad编辑器是不可以的。其中,第1个参数(buildDefaultDrawing)要设置为false,如果设置为true,则函数不会反馈错误,因此你不知道程序发生了什么。在下面两种情况中,你才会把buildDefaultDrawing设置为true:
1.你自己创造一个dwg文件,而不是从其他地方读取来;
2.从其他地方读取来,而且dwg文件的版本在R12及之前。
(版本对照如下:
AC1.50 = R2.05
AC1002 = R2.6
AC1004 = R9
AC1006 = R10
AC1009 = R11/R12
AC1012 = R13
AC1014 = R14
AC1015 = 2000/2000i/2002
AC1018 = 2004/2005/2006
AC1021 = 2007
)
下一步,Line26,27,我们要求用户输入想要引入的文件地址。这里我们没有检查用户是否输入内容或者输入的内容是否存在,是因为接下来的ReadDwgFile()方法在不能读取文件时,会抛出一个error;
接下来,Line29,30,将文件内容读取到side database.并且我们在Line35,我们创造一个块集合(同样,请参考Autocad文件数据库的结构);
下面的最为关键,Line40 tm.StartTransaction() 才是与CAD编辑器交互的接口。其中,运用循环将有名字或者未布局的块收集起来,看代码就不过多解释了。这个函数WblockCloneObjects()中最后一个参数,REPLACE则擦除之前的内容覆盖写,如果设为IGNORE,则续写。
