Topic: How can I get the Model's localized name from the Layout's viewport?

[Andrey Bushman]

The current space is the Layout's some viewport. How can I get the Model localized name? When the current space is the Model tab I can get the localized name through the CTAB system variable. But what about my case?

Code - C#: [Select]

1. // SpaceEnum.cs
2. // © Andrey Bushman, 2013
3.  
4. namespace Bushman.CAD.DatabaseServices {
5.         /// <summary>
6.         /// This enum indicates the current space in the current Database.
7.         /// </summary>
8.         public enum SpaceEnum {
9.                 /// <summary>
10.                 /// The Model space.
11.                 /// </summary>
12.                 Model,
13.                 /// <summary>
14.                 /// The Layout space.
15.                 /// </summary>
16.                 Layout,
17.                 /// <summary>
18.                 /// The Model space through the Layout's viewport.
19.                 /// </summary>
20.                 Viewport
21.         }
22. }

Below read the row 43, please:

I solved my problem:

Code - C#: [Select]

1. /// <summary>
2. /// This is Extension Method for the <c>Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.LayoutManager</c>
3. /// class. It gets the name of the current space in the current Database.
4. /// </summary>
5. /// <param name="mng">Target <c>Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.LayoutManager</c> instance.</param>
6. /// <returns>Returns the name of current space.</returns>
7. public static String GetCurrentSpaceName(this Db.LayoutManager mng) {
8.         SpaceEnum space = GetCurrentSpaceEnum(mng);
9.         Db.Database db = cad.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;
10.         String modelSpaceLocalizedName = String.Empty;
11.         using (Db.Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) {
12.                 Db.BlockTable bt = tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, Db.OpenMode.ForRead) as Db.BlockTable;
13.                 Db.BlockTableRecord btr = tr.GetObject(bt[Db.BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace], Db.OpenMode.ForRead)
14.                         as Db.BlockTableRecord;
15.                 modelSpaceLocalizedName = (tr.GetObject(btr.LayoutId, Db.OpenMode.ForRead) as Db.Layout).LayoutName;
16.         }
17.         String result = space == SpaceEnum.Viewport ?
18.                 modelSpaceLocalizedName as String : mng.CurrentLayout;
19.         return result;
20. }

I thought that in the AutoCAD localized versions the name of the Model tab and the 410 code's value are localized. I couldn't check. Now I learned that this value always is English. So this topic need to be deleted.

Leave it here Andrey, it may be useful for others.
I was just going to post and ask what you meant by localised.

I was afraid that this value can be localized.

Ahhhhh ... I understand.
Thanks

added for fun.
something like "модель"
