Post by: bchapman on February 03, 2013, 09:52:22 AM

Anyone know which .dll I need to add to references to make SendCommand work?

ThankS!

SendCommand() is an Autocad COM Interop method of the AcadDocument object.

SendStringToExecute() is an Autocad .NET API method of the Document object

Thanks Jeff... can you show me how to set my doc =... it's apparent I am trying to use the .NET API method of the document object... not sure how to get the COM Interop method of the AcadDocument object. Also, I'm not sure if I need the "true,false,true" below... this command works fine with SendCommandtoExecute but I need one that will do this asynchronously. Code I'm working with is below:

Code: [Select]

namespace BCInsertBLock
{
    public class BCIBlock
    {
        [CommandMethod("BCC:INSERTBLOCK")]
        static public void BCinBLock()
        {

            Document Doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            string strSend = "-insert " + "ELVTAG" + "\n" + "0,0 1 45 \n";
            Doc.SendCommand(strSend, true, false, true);       
        }
    }
}

Any help tremendously appreciated and rewarded by donations to the swamp :)

Think I might have found it...haven't tested.... also the reference files I needed were Interop and InteropCommon  dll's found in the C:\ObjectARX 2012 folder.

Code: [Select]

namespace BCInBLock
{
    public class BCCInBLock
    {
        [CommandMethod("BCC:InBlock")]
        static public void BCInsertBlock()
        {
            Document curDoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            AcadDocument curAcadDoc = (AcadDocument)curDoc.AcadDocument;
            string strSend = "-insert ELVTAG \n 0,0 1 45 \n ";
            curAcadDoc.SendCommand(strSend);       
        }
    }
}
