Topic: What is the equivalent namespace for AutoCAD 2013?

[cannorth]

Hello,

  I used this before in AutoCAD R12 as an expression:

Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.AcadDocument

  Now it doesn't seem to work in R13 anymore.  It doesn't recognize AcadDocument.  Does anyone know what
the equivalent form of this is in R13?

Thanks,

I think we had this issue before, where you mention R13, but you actually meant 2013, no?

If so, I believe that this is what you're after:

Code - C#: [Select]

1. Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadDocument
2.

That didn't seem to work for me.

This is my code snippet from before:

Code: [Select]

            Dim doc As AutoCAD.AcadDocument = CType(Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.AcadDocument, AcadDocument)

That didn't seem to work for me.

Did you add the necessary Interop assembly reference?

Hi,

In the 2013 .NET API the AcadDocument property have been replaced by a GetAcadDocument() extension method.
Try:

Code - vb.net: [Select]

1. Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.DocumentExtension
2. ...
3.     Dim doc As AutoCAD.AcadDocument = _
4.         CType(Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.GetAcadDocument(), AcadDocument)

I do not have 2013 software - Thanks for the correction, Gile.
