And I am getting this odd “Type Error: No Method matches given arguments for OnExit: (<class ‘Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.DocumentLock’>, <class ‘type’>”
I can use:
list(bt)
to see a list of blockIDs but I can’t seem to do much with them. I also get an error when I try to do something like:
modelSpace = [block for block in bt if "Model" in block.Name][0]
It seems like the error is saying there is an issue with the document lock, I have no idea why this would be an issue.
That worked great thanks! I’ll be sure to reference this going forward. But now I’m trying to iterate over the block table record. I remember previously you stated that the block table record:
When I do this:
with adoc.LockDocument():
with adoc.Database as db:
with db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() as t:
bt = t.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForWrite)
btr = bt.get_Item(BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace)
objectIDs = []
for oid in btr:
oid.append(objectID)
t.Commit()
pass
I get the exact same TypeError as previously mentioned. But this method worked fine in the last python script I wrote that replaced blocks across sheets. It’s really confusing! I was also able to iterate through the “Block Table” as if it was a list in the last script without issue. I’m not sure what has changed here except that I’m already in an active dwg.
Yep, most of that was probably written when things were still on IronPython, but Python.NET is a different animal. If you try that code in an earlier version of Civil 3D then it should still work.
You’re totally right that I messed up my syntax, the list should be prior to the “.”. I fixed this. However, the python script (and my dwg) actually crashes prior to even running the append step. It is crashing when attempting to iterate over the block table record.
The:
for oid in btr:
step.
This seems like very odd behavior. I am tempted to reinstall C3D. I was able to iterate across the block table and block table record just fine prior.
returns an object ID, not the block table reference its self, so I have to pass that into:
t.GetObject()
This works:
with adoc.LockDocument():
with adoc.Database as db:
with db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() as t:
bt = t.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForWrite)
btrID = bt.get_Item("*Model_Space")
btr = t.GetObject(btrID, OpenMode.ForWrite)
objectIDs = []
for oid in btr:
objectIDs.append(oid)
t.Commit()
pass
I happen to have exactly the same error, but when experimenting with adding propertysets in Civil3D.
I have used the examples and refactored them for my use case.
def create_ps_definitions_sql(set, properties, t, db):
"""Creates a property set by list input.
"""
psdef = None
psdefid = None
newps = False
dpsd = DictionaryPropertySetDefinitions(db)
try:
if not dpsd.Has(set[0], t):
psdef = PropertySetDefinition()
psdefid = psded.Id
dpsd.AddNewRecord(set[0], psdef)
newps = True
else:
psdefid = dpsd.GetAt(set[0])
psdef = t.GetObject(psdefid, OpenMode.ForWrite)
psdef.AppliesToAll = True
psdef.Description = set[1]
definitions = psdef.Definitions
for prop in properties:
pd = PropertyDefinition()
pd.Automatic = False
pd.DataType = DataType.Parse(DataType,
"Text", True)
pd.DefaultData = ""
pd.Description = prop[1]
pd.Name = prop[0]
if not definitions.Contains(pd):
definitions.Add(pd)
if newps:
t.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(psdef, True)
except Exception as ex:
MessageBox.Show('Create Property Set\r\n{}'.format(ex))
# run script
dataEnteringNode = IN
adoc = acapp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
with adoc.LockDocument():
with adoc.Database as db:
with db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() as t:
for combo in dataEnteringNode:
create_ps_definitions_sql(combo[0], combo[1], t, db)
t.Commit()
pass
OUT = None
I know the code is definitely not yet optimal, but first I wanted to get it running and get rid of that error before implementing more functionality.
