Hello All, I am hoping someone can give me a boost in my quest to refactor a work tool in a python3 node. With great guidance from Kean Walmsley’s “Through The Interface”, I created a simple tool for work some time ago in C# but it was sadly strangled by the CIO whose assessment is that custom .dll…

CAN YOU SEE THIS CODE [image] List xrefs loaded in the drawing Civil 3D Here one way to do it with python. import clr clr.AddReference('AcMgd') clr.AddReference('AcDbMgd') from Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices import * from Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices import …

Thank You for that response. I’ve been trying similar and it is not working. I realize I should have given more background. I have been able to get a selection set and that looks like this: [image] I am then able to get objects from that set with this line that I found in this forum (thanks for t…

[image] jxxfTWJ5R: This is where the problem comes in I think. I have objects but not Dynamo objects? My original goal was just to get the objects and then move on in Dynamo but I could not figure out how to make these objects be objects recognized by standard Dynamo nodes here is an example …

Thank you for that. I actually might be on my way, or I’ve gone backward.. not sure, but I found this line from Paolo on another post: [image] and that has given me a list of objects that works in Dynamo. I had previously created a graph that was working on my personal machine using the Civil3DToo…

[image] jxxfTWJ5R: I had previously created a graph that was working on my personal machine using the Civil3DToolkit Select Objects node but due to my employer’s restrictions, maybe you can at least use the packages made by Autodesk [image] [image]

Thanks, I am hoping that things may become easier if I can break through. I think the issue with the packages right now for the most part would be the effort of the IS team to get the packages on individual machines and I am trying to pioneer a dedicated effort at coding automation for the company s…

Watch out that the Civils 3d Toolkit does not work for civils 3d 2025 and is unsupported anymore. So watch out relying on this package going forward as you will have to decide on a new method anyway in the future which does not use this package

On an aside, you should be able to wrap the packages into a custom installer for your Civil 3D going forward. It’ll take a little more work when creating the installer, but it’ll be a LOT less work individually installing on each machine :slight_smile:

[image] jxxfTWJ5R: and that presents a list that looks like this (4 lines and an xref selected): Can you attach an example drawing?

I just have a generic dwg with a few lines and an xref to test the script. The script is for work so I don’t think I could share that in it’s entirety. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and help. I am production and have no control or input on software deployments so I have to work within what is …
