Topic: How to zoom extend in a new created dwg?

[netcai]

I create a new dwg by c#, I wish to zoom extend this dwg through side database, anybody knows how can I realize it?

It's not worth pursuing IMO. You don't get any preview icon and have to handle a bunch of low level system details.
I make good use of core console for things like this you want hidden from the user.

Code - C#: [Select]

1. public void StartAutoCAD(string dwgPath)
2.         {
3.             var DirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles));
4.             DirInfo = DirInfo.GetDirectories("Autodesk").FirstOrDefault();
5.             var exefiles = DirInfo.GetFiles("accoreconsole.exe", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
6.             string exepath = null;
7.             if (exefiles.Length > 0)
8.             {
9.                 exepath = exefiles[0].FullName;
10.             }
11.  
12.             var scriptpath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "Temp.scr");
13.             using (var writer = File.CreateText(scriptpath))
14.             {
15.                 writer.WriteLine("ZOOM");
16.                 writer.WriteLine("EXTENTS");
17.                 writer.WriteLine("QSAVE");
18.             }
19.             var p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
20.             p.StartInfo.FileName = exepath;
21.             p.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("/i \"{0}\" /s \"{1}\"", dwgPath, scriptpath);
22.             p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
23.             p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
24.             p.Start();
25.         }
