Title: Custom sized MvPart?
Post by: MexicanCustard on April 24, 2011, 12:24:39 PM

How do I add MultiViewParts with custom sizes? I've got a MvPart which is just a cylinder. I have a Diameter and a Height parameter defined in my part as list parameters. It's also flagged for custom sizes.

When using:

DataExpandedTable exTbl = PartManager.GetPartTable(query, 10);
DataRecord newRec = exTbl.DataRecords[0];
newRec.DataFields.FindByContextAndIndex(Context.GeometryModelParameter, 1).ValueDouble = 10; //change Diameter

MultiViewPart mvPart = new MultiViewPart();
mvPart.SetDatabaseDefaults(currDB);
MvPart.SetToStandard(currDB);

PartManager.CreatePartViaRecord(exTbl, newRec, mvPart);
 

Autocad ignores any changes I make to the DataRecord newRec before calling CreatePartViaRecord and inserts the cylinder with the default sizes. I don't want to add additional sizes to the Catalog if I can avoid it. I just want to define custom sizes while adding the cylinder to the database. I can do this manually within the drawing so I'm assuming it can be done via code.

Can you load up a drawing with the part?

Here's a .dwg with the cylinder inserted as default size 6x4.

Have you looked at the AddModifyPart sample?

Yes, it's what got me to this point but it only looks up and inserts an existing part size.
