How to read the entity properties in the Drawing Template

 

[dsi]

Huh? Do you want a program (macro) to count the entities on a drawing? What entities do you want to count? Do you want to include notes, weld symbols, balloons, etc? Please be a little more specific and include the version of SW you are working with. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

We are using SW 2001 Plus. We have drawn two circles on the drawing template. Give us a code snippet in VB to read the properties (Like radius and center coordinates) of the circles...?

Check out thread559-27994. I wrote a macro to measure selected entities and report the result in multiple units. In there, you will find a snipit on getting the information from a circle. You will have to get the curve object from the DrawingDoc, which should not be that difficult.

It is hard to write code to your specific request without more information:
1. Are these the only two circles on the drawing?
2. Are they in a drawing view or a drawing template?
3. Will the user select the two circles before running the macro, or should the macro find them automatically?

We have created a new Drawing Template. And We drawn two circles on the sheet.
Using our code, we should able to see the properties of the circles.

* There are only two circles in the drawing sheet.
* We clicked a new Template of drawing
* User not select any circle. Macro itself should find it out.

Give a suggestions please.
