Hi Friends, in this article I will explain about how to draw line in AutoCAD using VB.NET.
Select show all:
Right Click the Reference tab and select "Add Reference".
In previous article I already explained how to write programs in AutoLISP for AutoCAD, How to write programs in VBA for AutoCAD.
Let we will discuss about how to write programs in VB.NET for AutoCAD.
Let we will discuss about how to write programs in VB.NET for AutoCAD.
First of all open Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010 what you have, otherwise downloaded the Microsoft Visual Studio.
Add project:
File—new—project—class library---enter the class library name—ok
Select show all:
On the right in the Solution Explorer select the Show All button. (If the Solution Explorer is not visible then hit CTRL+ALT+L).
Add reference to classlibrary :
Add the reference in the COM Add reference to AutoCAD Type Library (acax17enu.tlb), AutoCAD / ObjectDBX Common Type Library (axdb17enu.tlb)
Add the reference in the Browse C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2007 add acdbmgd.dll and acmgd.dll.
After that write the below code in the class library code.
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop
Public Class Class1
<CommandMethod("MyLine")> _
Public Shared Sub CreateLine()
Dim AcadApp As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadApplication
Dim acaddoc As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadDocument
Dim pt As Object
Dim pt1 As Object
AcadApp = GetObject(, "Autocad.Application")
acaddoc = AcadApp.ActiveDocument
pt = acaddoc.Utility.GetPoint(, "Pick point:")
pt1 = acaddoc.Utility.GetPoint(pt, "Pick second point:")
acaddoc.ModelSpace.AddLine(pt, pt1)
End Sub
End Class |
Build the solution:
Go to Browse tab—Build then .dll file is created in the bin\debug folder of the project.
Go to AutoCAD in the command enter netload then one popup will come.select the your .dll file and click Open .
Give the MyLine then it will ask the pick point and second pick point and draw the line.
The below figure will show the process of how to load .dll file.
