ARES Commander Cad

[ChandrasekarML]

While opening the output drawing, an error drawing file occurs and requires recovery. 
Input drawing file images are available, but output drawing file images are invisible.

sample code:
using ACadSharp.Examples;
using ACadSharp.IO;
using ACadSharp.Tables.Collections;
using ACadSharp.Tables;
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using ACadSharp.Entities;
using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace ACadSharp.Examples
{

public class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        void OnNotification(object sender, NotificationEventArgs e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Notification: {e.Message}");
        }

        const string sourceFile = "C:\\Users\\Balaji.t\\Videos\\INPUT5\\FILE\\INPUT.dwg";
        const string targetFile = "C:\\Users\\Balaji.t\\Videos\\INPUT5\\FILE\\OUTPUT.dwg";      
       
        CadDocument doc;

        using (DwgReader reader = new DwgReader(sourceFile))
        {
            doc = reader.Read();

        }
        

        void WriteDwg(string targetFile, CadDocument doc)
        {
          
            using (DwgWriter writer = new DwgWriter(targetFile, doc))
            {                 
                writer.OnNotification += OnNotification;
                writer.Write();
            }
        }

        WriteDwg(targetFile, doc);


    }
}

Hi @ChandrasekarML,

I can see that the file contains a dynamic block and an instance of that one.

Dynamic blocks are not yet supported and my guess is that is messing with the output file because the writer does not distinguish between dynamic and normal.

I'll take a look to see if I find a workaround to make this compatible.

Thanks for your report!

While opening the output drawing file, the drawing file requires recovery notification to appear in version 1.0.1.
The output drawing file opens properly in beta version 2.0.1.
But both version sample codes are the same.

What you tried sample code in below:

using ACadSharp;
using ACadSharp.Entities;
using ACadSharp.IO;
using System.Reflection.Metadata;
using System.Xml.Linq;

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

    string dwgFilePath = "C:\\Users\\Balaji.t\\Videos\\INPUT5\\Test.dwg";

    CadDocument doc = new CadDocument();

    void OnNotification(object sender, NotificationEventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Notification: {e.Message}");
    }

    //Create a line from the origin to the point (5, 5, 0)
    Line line = new Line
    {
        StartPoint = CSMath.XYZ.Zero,
        EndPoint = new CSMath.XYZ(5, 5, 0)
    };

    //doc.Entities.Add(pt);
    doc.Entities.Add(line);

    doc.Header.Version = ACadVersion.AC1032;


    using (DwgWriter writer = new DwgWriter(dwgFilePath, doc))
    {
        writer.OnNotification += OnNotification;
        writer.Write();
    }


}

}

What is the status of the previous chat?

[DomCR]

After the version 2.0.1 the image references were added, that may be the cause of the problem.

Does ARES provide any kind of log about the error? I can only test the file with Autocad on my end.

[ChandrasekarML]

ARES Commander Log in the command:

Info:Recover dwg file.
Error:Dwg file: DictionaryWithDefault (ACAD_PLOTSTYLENAME) should be Created (Test:)

Please try with ARES Commander any trial version.

Seems that ARES is complaining about some default values and entries in the root dictionary that are not found.

I'll create a branch to fix the ones that appear on the log.

In the meantime it will help if you do this in your end and check if the log improves, for example, to fix the variable FACETRES I think is enough to make sure that is set to a value between 0.01 to 10.0.

There is one element that I don't recognize which is PrintStyle, not sure if it's the same as plotsettings.

Did you try to import a dxf instead of dwg to test if it has the same errors?

[ChandrasekarML]

We try with dxfwriter, but we get an error. While opening the output drawing file, the drawing file requires a recovery notification to appear.

Sample code:

public void DrawLine(string filePath)
{
string dwgFilePath = Path.Combine(filePath, "Test.dxf");

CadDocument doc = new CadDocument();

void OnNotification(object sender, NotificationEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Notification: {e.Message}");
}

//Create a line from the origin to the point (5, 5, 0)
Line line = new Line
{
    StartPoint = CSMath.XYZ.Zero,
    EndPoint = new CSMath.XYZ(5, 5, 0)
};

//doc.Entities.Add(pt);
doc.ModelSpace.Entities.Add(line);

doc.Header.Version = ACadVersion.AC1032;

//using (DwgWriter writer = new DwgWriter(dwgFilePath, doc))
//{
//    writer.OnNotification += OnNotification;
//    writer.Write();
//}
using (DxfWriter writer = new DxfWriter(dwgFilePath, doc, true))
{
    writer.Write();
}

}

The issue is the same as dwg, ARES is complaining about the default values.

Have you tried to change them as ARES says before saving the document?
