Creating A New Point style

[k22]

Morning All,

 

I need help to create a new point style so i can use it as a single point or multipoint for when i bring in x-y coordinates.

 

Or if i create a block how can i use it as a multipoint for x-y coordinates?

 

Thanks

Check your AutoCAD Help file. The topic will be Create Point Objects (.NET).

Thanks Mark,

 

Ive come across this

 

using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry; [CommandMethod("AddPointAndSetPointStyle")]public static void AddPointAndSetPointStyle(){ // Get the current document and database Document acDoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Database acCurDb = acDoc.Database; // Start a transaction using (Transaction acTrans = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { // Open the Block table for read BlockTable acBlkTbl; acBlkTbl = acTrans.GetObject(acCurDb.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) as BlockTable; // Open the Block table record Model space for write BlockTableRecord acBlkTblRec; acBlkTblRec = acTrans.GetObject(acBlkTbl[blockTableRecord.ModelSpace], OpenMode.ForWrite) as BlockTableRecord; // Create a point at (4, 3, 0) in Model space DBPoint acPoint = new DBPoint(new Point3d(4, 3, 0)); acPoint.SetDatabaseDefaults(); // Add the new object to the block table record and the transaction acBlkTblRec.AppendEntity(acPoint); acTrans.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(acPoint, true); // Set the style for all point objects in the drawing acCurDb.Pdmode = 34; acCurDb.Pdsize = 1; // Save the new object to the database acTrans.Commit(); }} need abit of help on this

Also could i use a block I've already created as a multipoint for when i bring in x-y coordinates from excel?

Mentioning that you read the referenced material would have sufficed.

 

Just what is a multipoint block?
