Title: Customized entity type? How to achieve this?
Post by: JohnSnow on June 14, 2022, 01:38:50 AM

I am using a standalone autocad plugin (using arx I guess?) developed by others. . It will then brings me to autocad environment as shown below.


It allows me add customized items and when I check the properties of these items, I can see there is new customized entity type. I believe this is not possible with lisp (I guess it is by .net). Anyway, does anyone have any idea how to achieve this?

This is not possible using the LISP API.

Also not possible with .NET. Custom entities are created with ObjectARX and c++

It is like a proxy object in some cases can get at some of the details. But generally not exposed.

What does this reveal.

Code: [Select]

;;;===================================================================;
;;; DumpIt                                                            ;
;;;-------------------------------------------------------------------;
;;; Dump all methods and properties for selected objects              ;
;;;===================================================================;
(defun C:Dumpit ( / ent)
  (while (setq ent (entsel))
    (vlax-Dump-Object
      (vlax-Ename->Vla-Object (car ent))
    )
  )
  (princ)
)
