How to insert a parametric cell with C# in Connect edition?

Markus Hannweber — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 07:19:54 GMT

Hi,

i try to insert a paramtric cell in my model.

I have an attached cell lib nd I can find the cell via the name in the lib and get a ParametricCellDefinitionElement object.

I can iterate over the variables of the parametric cell, and with a IECPropertyValue objct I can the the needed values for the variables.

But I didn't find a way to insert the parametric block into the model.

CreateCellElementXX and CreateSharedCellElementXX only create a normal cells. Any command I missed? Or can I change the cell to a paramtric cell and set the variables?

Or do i have to use something like:

App.CadInputQueue.SendCommand("PLACE CELL", true);
App.CadInputQueue.SendKeyin(parametricCellData.ParametricCellName);

      Point3d dataPoint;
      dataPoint.X = parametricCellData.PtInsert.X;
      dataPoint.Y = parametricCellData.PtInsert.Y;
      dataPoint.Z = parametricCellData.PtInsert.Z;
      App.CadInputQueue.SendDataPoint(ref dataPoint, 1, 0);

Thanks for help

Microstation connect ElementChangedEvent ChangeTrackKind

Markus Hannweber — Wed, 16 May 2018 14:40:10 GMT

Hi,

I overloaded the ElementChangedEvent event and get a ChangeTrackKind value in eventargs.Change

     Delete = 1,
      Add = 2,
      Modify = 3,
      ModifyFence = 5,
      Mark = 7,
      ModelAdd = 9,
      ModelDelete = 10,
      AddXAttribute = 11,
      DeleteXAttribute = 12,
      ModifyXAttribute = 13,
      ReplaceXAttribute = 14

But I get after moving an object (modify = 3) always anaddition event with a value 17. Anyone an idea what this means?

Thanks for help

How to scan forparametric cells?

Markus Hannweber — Thu, 29 Mar 2018 08:37:44 GMT

Hi,

To scan a drawing for all cells I use:

ElementScanCriteria scanCriteria = new ElementScanCriteriaClass();
scanCriteria.ExcludeAllTypes();
scanCriteria.IncludeType(MsdElementType.CellHeader);

but this don't find any parametric cells and I didn't find any other includedType() which can be used to find parametric cells?

Any ideas?

Thanks for help

different Element classes

Markus Hannweber — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 07:13:24 GMT

Hi,

with the function

Element.GetFromElementRef

I get a

Bentley.DgnPlatformNET.Elements.Element object

then I need to read the XData of the object. Till now i used

element.GetXData1(AppName);

but this functions need a

Bentley.Interop.MicroStationDGN.Element

So my question is, how to come from one the the other? And why there are two differnet Element classes without an esy way to convert.

E.g. a contructor that uses the other class

Greetings
