Title: Autocad Import command
Post by: hobbs1210 on April 22, 2018, 10:12:46 AM

Hi,
I am currently working on a way to import inventor ipt files into Autocad using C#. Im currently using  AcadDocument.sendcommand, but this requires user interaction. Is there an alternative ways to interface with the import command?

Define requires user interaction?
Beyond setting filedia to 0? (I've never used the import .ipt feature)

"Processing background job" dialog would pop up requiring the user to close it.

This inventor import functionality will not work if your Inventor files come from a later version than the AutoCAD version.
It would be nice if user would get a notification of that. But it doesn't.

You'll have to play with the hidden message settings of FixedProfile.

In lisp a lot of the Command type can be run manually with some file dia and a - sign eg -line try it as -import.
