Topic: eNotApplicable Exception...

[troga]

Hi ,

I´m struggeling with an exception, in the following situation:
1. ACAD 2009
2. NET command for modifying polylines
3. Adding vertices via AddVertexAt(...) to a newly created polyline, after finishing, I´m using a transaction to write the poly to the DB, after that
    I´m trying to receive a PromptPoint from User to work on with the newly created poly ... after calling ed.GetPoint(...) I get an exception-> eNotApplicable

Q: What doe s that  mean ? I tried to lock the doc, changed the CommandFlags but nothing seemed to help... Anyone can help me out ?

NOTE: The exception occurs only on some *.DWG files !! I couldn´t figure out where the difference is ..


Any help is appreciated...  and Thanks in advance.

Without more information, members would only be guessing.

When posting, to get the maximum chances of people responding, you should provide the following:

1. Code
2. Example data
3. AutoCAD version
4. .NET Framework version
5. OS (including 32bit vs. 64bit)
6. Visual Studio version (or your IDE choice and version)

With no more info than what you've supplied, I would only be guessing; is the GetPoint call inside your transaction for the newly created polyline?

First, thanks for the fast reply...

1. will apply tomorrow... currently @home
2. ... like no. 1 ...
3. ACAD 2009
4. Vista 32 Bit
5. Visual Studio 2005
6. Yes it´s inside the transaction...

Thanks, I´ll provide the rest of the data tomorrow...

Your numbered points are out - you still don't specify .NET Framework version.

Off the top of my head, move the GetPoint call outside the transaction ie. Create poly, add to dbase, commit, then start another transaction for the GetPoint and see how that goes.

[Glenn R]

That's not the whole code and your error message to me indicates something else is possibly wrong...

Where is this defined

_Ed.


don't have tiime to have a good look, but
Have you tried setting a breakpoint in the debug code and then stepping through to find the error
... or indicate to us the line the error is on when the exception happens.

looks like a COM error to me ..   

///kdub

[kdub_nz]

looks like there is a lot more going on that you originally indicated ..

I assume the AcIn.  is Interop ??

            AcIn.AcadDocument doc = GetDoc();
            doc.Layers.Add(Configuration._foilsheetLayer);

where is this coming from (Configuration._foilsheetLayer)  

Where is this coming from

Hi kdub,

The Configuration._foilsheetLayer is a string, that gets read out of a customer database at this point it is checked and filled correctly.
_Ed is a static property the gets initialized during Initialize().

While debugging and setting the breakpoint, I get a crash at line -> AcEd.PromptPointResult result = _Ed.GetPoint(opts); /*** _Ed. is not invalid ***/

First I got an 'eLock' exception (with the code I provided yesterday), after that I tried to use DocumentLock() and defined a scope around the Transaction block.
After that I´m getting the eNotApplicapable exception at the line mentioned above.

so actually the code looks like this (the critical part):

Code: [Select]

                AcGe.Matrix3d ucs = _Ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem;
                AcGe.Point3d origin = new AcGe.Point3d(0, 0, 0);

                normal = normal.TransformBy(ucs);

                AcGe.Plane plane = new AcGe.Plane(origin, normal);
                AcDb.Polyline pline = new AcDb.Polyline(points.Count);
                pline.Normal = normal;

                foreach (AcGe.Point3d pt in points)
                {
                    AcGe.Point3d transformedPt = pt.TransformBy(ucs);
                    pline.AddVertexAt(pline.NumberOfVertices, plane.ParameterOf(transformedPt), 0, 0, 0);
                }

                try
                {
                    // NOTE: *** after applying the following DocumentLock Block of code, the eLock exception disapeared! ***
                    using (AcAp.DocumentLock l = _Ed.Document.LockDocument())
                    {

forgot to mention....  the SteelPlateJig is a Polyline Jig to draw a kind of 'Ghost Polyline' and to collect coordinates for creating a cross-section of a plastic foil...

[Bryco]

swap
opts.UseBasePoint = true;
opts.BasePoint = points[0];
It likes to have a point before you tell it to use it

[troga]

swap
opts.UseBasePoint = true;
opts.BasePoint = points[0];
It likes to have a point before you tell it to use it

Thanks I´ll try that...

[troga]

Hey Bryco,

your suggestion works!!!

Thanks a lot...  amazing community !

It would be interesting why I got those eLock and eNotAplicable Exceptions, just for understanding, does anybody knows
where to find this kind of information ?

Thanks again.

Troga.

Good spot Bryco! Have a beer mate.
