I hope Jane was happy to see the animules.
 .. I bet Surrey is a little greener than the landscape you left here.

Yes, she was, but it didn't take her long to remember what a pain the mutt can be.
Yeah, it's green here and blasted brown if not bare earth there.

Cheers,
Glenn.

Well done Kerry and Glenn.
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop wasn't in my cad but I did find it in Objectarx 2008\inc

It should be on the COM tab in the add reference dialog Bryce. Kerry should be able to post a nice piccy of the entries you need to reference seeing as he's snagit happy at the moment

OK

just Reference the  AutoCAD 2008 Type Library
and add the using statement
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop;

just realised, these threads must look weird if the viewer isn't logged in ( a member) ... cause the piccys really do tell a story

Thanks mate. Picture is worth a 1000 beers.

I'm just too lazy to write properly .. succinct is difficult.

Duly noted my friend.

[Chumplybum]

what about:  Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.UserConfigurationManager ?

[Kerry]

Haven't tried that Chumplybum .. have you ?

[It's Alive!]

sorry, I was board 

Code: [Select]

AcMgdWrprs.Utilities.GetEnv("ACAD")

for 2007

[Chumplybum]

this is the same as (getenv "ACAD")...


Dim UserConfigurationManager As Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.UserConfigurationManager = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.UserConfigurationManager
Dim ProfileBase As Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.IConfigurationSection = UserConfigurationManager.OpenCurrentProfile

Dim GeneralRegKey As Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.IConfigurationSection = ProfileBase.OpenSubsection("General")

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(GeneralRegKey.ReadProperty("ACAD", "").ToString)

[Kerry]

cool !

I'll have a play tonight ... Thanks.

[Kerry]

Yes,Mark, that seems fine.
I made a method that's a little more generic
Haven't tested for invalid data in this version ...

Code: [Select]

        public static object GetProfileEntry(string sSubSection, string sProperty)
        {
            UserConfigurationManager ucManager = Application.UserConfigurationManager;
            IConfigurationSection currentProfile = ucManager.OpenCurrentProfile();
            IConfigurationSection subSection = currentProfile.OpenSubsection(sSubSection);
            return subSection.ReadProperty(sProperty, "");
        }
A piccy for Joe ..

I s'pose there's really no need for a method when we can do it in-line without intermediate variable assignments ..

Code: [Select]

           
 string sSupportPath = AcadApp.UserConfigurationManager.OpenCurrentProfile().
                                 OpenSubsection("General").ReadProperty("ACAD", "").ToString();

True, but the function looks better; is easier to read and if one property in that 'property chain' fails, it's a lot harder to debug...just some thoughts.
