I’m having an issue with using MapImport and the SendCommand function. It seems to get “stuck” after the initial command and won’t execute. Is there a way to run Mapimport from Dynamo? [image]

@zachri.jensen is right. The code should be very similar to the thread he has shared. Here is a solution for mapimport. I have included the .dyn and a CAD file to test it on to see how it works. You will need to first generate profile files (.ipf) for each shapefile import. Once your import profile…

Looks like you’re missing a closed parenthesis in the file path. Or do you need parenthesis at all since it’s a string already?

Yeah, I noticed that just after posting. I’ve tried with and without parentheses and with /n and \n instead of spaces. It works very well with anything that doesn’t take arguments/parameters but it seems inconsistent when you have to pass things with the commands. I’ve also tried googling the sub…

Beautiful. Works like a charm and I really like how the strings are formatted like that. I’ll be referencing this any time I have to use SendCommand in the future. Thanks!

No worries. To make sure it works how intended you may have to make sure any profile files you name are the same name as the shapefile files and that there are the same number of shapefiles and profiles in each folder since the script is selecting all of the .shp and .ipf files in the folders. This …

@WrightEngineering I was having some trouble using the SendCommand in a python node, and used yours as inspiration. However, I’m getting an error that says: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800401F3): Invalid class string Implying there’s not a running “AutoCAD.Application”, but ther…

Hmm, unfortunately I have never ran into that error before so I don’t have much insight.

Thank you for replying though, I’ll keep digging :frowning:
