Hello, is there a way to get Content information from Text objects using Dynamo in Civil 3D?
Converting Text to MText is not an option for me, unfortunately.
Tnx

I have found a workaround, but since I’ve got used to Dynamo in Revit, i still use the same logic as I’ve done there and in Civil it doesn’t always work. Is there a node similar to Element.GetParameterByName in Civil 3D? To get any information from Properties window for an object?
Tnx!!
Hi @BIM_Croatia
Well! You can get the Text Objects Contents without converting MText:
import sys
import clr
# Add Assemblies for AutoCAD and Civil3D
clr.AddReference('AcMgd')
clr.AddReference('AcCoreMgd')
clr.AddReference('AcDbMgd')
clr.AddReference('AecBaseMgd')
clr.AddReference('AecPropDataMgd')
clr.AddReference('AeccDbMgd')
# Import references from AutoCAD
from Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime import *
from Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices import *
from Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput import *
from Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices import *
from Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry import *
# Import references from Civil3D
from Autodesk.Civil.ApplicationServices import *
from Autodesk.Civil.DatabaseServices import *
# The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variables.
adoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
editor = adoc.Editor
with adoc.LockDocument():
with adoc.Database as db:
with db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() as t:
bt = t.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForWrite)
btr = t.GetObject(bt[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace], OpenMode.ForWrite)
tv = []
errorReport = None
for oid in btr:
bl = t.GetObject(oid, OpenMode.ForRead)
try:
if isinstance(bl, DBText):
tv.append(bl.TextString)
# Catch and report Exception...
except:
import traceback
errorReport = traceback.format_exc()
t.Commit()
# Assign your output to the OUT variable.
if errorReport == None:
OUT = tv#Text Values
else:
OUT = errorReport

Thank you very much!!!
Works like charm!!
in this case I would set OpenMode to .ForRead for btr , thanks for sharing your code
You’re Welcome!
Hi @Kulkul , Great.
I can use the text layer as input?
Yes you can use. Just change this and add layer name as input:
if isinstance(bl, DBText) and bl.Layer == IN[0]:

Great, Thank you very much.
Hi @Kulkul. I am trying to extract the Pattern type so i can FilterbyBoolean and keep a specific pattern out of my list. Can the script be adjusted to find hatch patterns? If I could filter by Pattern type or Name that would be perfect.
Thank you!
@jpintocastaneda you can use the Civil 3D Toolkit:

FYI there are nodes for Text objects in Camber v3.0.0.
