    Draw Program

    Hi TeunHam, Where did you find the available commands for the drawing program? Do you have a list of what's available? I'm going to try your example later, but I wasn't sure of the syntax of the drawing commands, and/or what's available...

    Draw Program

    Oops sorry - not the skether - this is similar to Pro/Program but works only in drawing mode. This is what I can't find much information on...

    Draw Program

    Anyone out there using the Draw Program feature for Pro/E (CreO) drawings? I've done some looking and can't find much at all on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA Todd

    Exporting to SVG Possible?

    Hi Brian, Sent! couple of things though, you can't read a new version into an old version - but we should be okay since they're supposed to be the same. I'll shoot you a couple of different flavors and you can see what works best... Todd

    Exporting to SVG Possible?

    Hi Brian, Finally got Creo installed, and it looks just like WF5, I don't have any models created out of the "free" version so if you've got one you want me to try, I'd be happy to give it a shot... Todd

    switching from pro-e to inventor

    Hi proegod, I use both ProE and Inventor. I understand your CAD Manager's frustration, I can't tell you how many times I've heard that very same complaint, but just like looslib said, any translation is going to be dumb solid. Both have their strong/weak points, but usually what has to happen...

    Exporting to SVG Possible?

    That could be - I started the download but it looks like I'll need to do it at home - takes up too much band width here at the office... If it's not something real sensitive, you can upload it and I'll see if my version of WF5 will open it and I can spit out a DXF or DWG for you and you can...

    Exporting to SVG Possible?

    Hi ESPComposites, Maybe not - I'm on Wildfire 5 (which everybody says Creo is a reskinned version of WF5). How about in the saveas, does it allow you to save different type there or not, or is there a publish feature anywhere maybe in the file pull-down? When I get a chance I'll download Creo...

    Exporting to SVG Possible?

    Not directly anyway. On the publish tab, select the DXF option and output it as a DXF file. Then, google DXF2SVG - you should come up a number of freebies to get you the SVG you're after. HTH Todd

    How can I get polyline properties with VBA?

    Well, you can do a send command but you won't be able to get the output. Best bet is to write a quick and dirty lisp routine using the vlax-curve-xxx function Carl recommended, and have the lisp routine pump the results into one of the USERXXX variables, and then use VBA to pull it out.

    How can I get polyline properties with VBA?

    Hi jrice174, VBA doesn't expose this property - you'll need to do some math to calculate the lengths, and you'll need to use the point data to do it. HTH Todd

    Need to convert drawings from MicroStation to AutoCad

    Hi frankreid, Since no one has chimed in on this, you didn't mention what version of AutoCAD you were using. If it's 2008 or later, you can just use the DGNIMPORT command. From there, you can probably create a script, AutoLISP, or VB/VBA program to automate it for you... Sorry if that's no...

    default dimension styles

    Hi k9woofwoof, Just add them to your acad.dwt file. Everytime you start a new drawing, they'll be there for you. HTH Todd

    How to insert a block from external drawing to current drawing?

    Hi microwave2009, Autodesk doesn't allow this via VB/VBA. You're actually almost home with your approach. You'll need in insert (not AttachExternalReference) the drawing test drawing to get the definition of the block B2 into the drawing, and then insert block B2. The other option is get...
