(vlax-dump-Object REGION-obj t) to a FILE

[devitg]

There is any way to send the result of the

 

(vlax-dump-Object REGION-obj t)

 

to a file?

 

Up to now I do a COPY and Paste on notepad.

 

But I guess how it can be save the result , so I can see all props

and method related to a Vl-object, in a file.

 

Or maybe there is an all different way .

 

I have the AXPROPOS, but it send the result to the screen.

The only way I see to do it, is to turn on the log file (LOGFILEON), run the function, then turn the log file off (LOGFILEOFF). The name of the log file is stored in LOGFILENAME.

Hi,

 

You can use the AutoCAD log file.

 

(defun c:DumptoLogFile (/ obj)
 (and (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel))))
      (setvar 'logfilemode 1)
      (vlax-dump-object obj T)
      (setvar 'logfilemode 0)
      (startapp "notepad" (getvar 'logfilename))
 )
 (princ)
)

 

rkmcswain was faster...

Seems to work OK for me

 

This is the only change I would make to avoid error:

 

(defun c:DumptoLogFile (/ ent)
 (and (setq ent (car (entsel)))
      (setvar 'logfilemode 1)
      (vlax-dump-object (vlax-ename->vla-object ent) T)
      (setvar 'logfilemode 0)
      (startapp "notepad" (getvar 'logfilename)))
 (princ))

See attached.

 

But it made a empty file .

Hi,

 

The log file is a copy of the command line.

If you run the routine from the vlide, the result is printed in the vlide console, not in command line, so nothing is copied to the log file.

Try runing the routine in AutoCAD window...

Gile,

 

If this is the only way to get a return of vlax-dump-object, it makes me wonder how AxProps from MP works...

Hi Gile , thanks.

To run inside ACAD is the way, not at the vlide.

 

Now It can be used to retrieve each object property.

Hi Lee.

 

Maybe it do the same, dig at the log file, but without showing it.

 

I use AxProps all time.

toggle console is always open here and working fine, compiling all my console window outputs, try restarting ACAD, very useful in dumping long dumps like inspecting registry.

Hi Wizman.

Could you please, give me the way to use it .?

I can not make it work.

Devitg, please try making a new log when you toggle it on. then restart ACAD. then see if it is working. If not, toggle it off, then toggle it on again and point to the same log file. it will ask to append to existing file, just click yes then try if it is working, you may also need to restart ACAD again.. I'm not sure sir if that will help

[devitg]

I will try it so.

Thanks

Gabriel.
