C# Help Examples for Drawing Views

Here is another section of VBA procedures from the help file converted to C#. These examples are related to drawing views. There was one example that already had a C# version.   

You can find details about how the C# projects can be used in this post. This project has the following functions:

Here is CreateBreakoperationInDrawingView

//Creation of a break operation in a drawing view

//Demonstrates the creation of a break operation.

//Before running this sample, select a drawing

//view in the active drawing.

public void CreateBreakoperationInDrawingView()

{

    // Set a reference to the drawing document.

    // This assumes a drawing document is active.

    DrawingDocument oDrawDoc =

(DrawingDocument)ThisApplication.ActiveDocument;

 

    //Set a reference to the active sheet.

    Sheet oSheet = (Sheet)oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet;

 

 

    DrawingView oDrawingView = default(DrawingView);

    // Check to make sure a drawing view is selected.

    try

    {

        // Set a reference to the selected drawing.

        // This assumes that the selected view is

        // not a draft view.

        oDrawingView =

                 (DrawingView)oDrawDoc.SelectSet[1];

    }

    catch

    {

        MessageBox.Show

            ("A drawing view must be selected.");

        return;

    }

 

 

    // Set a reference to the

    //center of the base view.

    Point2d oCenter =

              (Point2d)oDrawingView.Center;

 

    // Define the start point of the break

    Point2d oStartPoint = ThisApplication.

        TransientGeometry.

        CreatePoint2d(oCenter.X - 1, oCenter.Y);

 

    // Define the end point of the break

    Point2d oEndPoint = default(Point2d);

    oEndPoint = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry.

         CreatePoint2d(oCenter.X + 1, oCenter.Y);

 

    BreakOperation oBreakOperation =

                        default(BreakOperation);

 

    oBreakOperation = oDrawingView.

                           BreakOperations.Add

(BreakOrientationEnum.kHorizontalBreakOrientation,

             oStartPoint, oEndPoint,

         BreakStyleEnum.kRectangularBreakStyle, 5);
