Use ObjectDBX to ZoomExtents failed!

[oldguy]

Does anyone know how to do this?

following is my code, when I define cadDoc as AcadDocument,

it works fine. Once I changed it to AxDbDocument

it gave me errors.

 

cadDoc.MSpace = True   '<---- get error
cadDoc.Application.ZoomExtents  '<---- get error
cadDoc.MSpace = False   '<---- get error
vp2.DisplayLocked = True

I'm not a VBA'er but it looks like DBX docs don't support the zoom methods:

thanks...

Is there any other way to work around it? like change the viewport scale, stuff like that?

The autoCAD marco is just too slow. we have 3000 drawings. so could take many days...

Spent the last hour or so looking through the object model for this without any luck, however, this information has to be stored in the document somewhere

 

If we can find where this is stored and it isn't read only we can then scope each entity for the x and y extents of the document and use these to define the zoom factor

 

I intend to do a bit more scouting when I get back home. Until then hopefully this will give some indication as to how this could be resolved.

 

Good luck
