Python, read CTB files

[Danielm103]

seems ezdxf has this feature, so we can just use it. 

 

import wx
from ezdxf.addons import acadctb
from pyrx import Ap, Db, Ed

def browse_for_ctb():
    """Opens a native wxPython file dialog to browse for a CTB file."""
    parent = wx.GetApp().GetTopWindow()

    with wx.FileDialog(
        parent,
        "Select AutoCAD CTB File",
        wildcard="CTB files (*.ctb)|*.ctb",
        style=wx.FD_OPEN | wx.FD_FILE_MUST_EXIST,
    ) as fileDialog:
        if fileDialog.ShowModal() == wx.ID_CANCEL:
            return None
        return fileDialog.GetPath()

@Ap.Command()
def doit() -> None:
    ctb_path = browse_for_ctb()
    if not ctb_path:
        print("\nCommand cancelled.")
        return
    try:
        # 2. Parse the CTB using ezdxf
        ctb_data = acadctb.load(ctb_path)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"\nFailed to parse CTB file: {str(e)}")
        return

    active_colors = []
    for idx in range(1, 256):
        style = ctb_data[idx]
        # Keep the entry if it overrides lineweight or screening
        if style.lineweight >= 0 or style.screen < 100:
            # Store the index along with the full style object to access all 10 properties
            active_colors.append((idx, style))

    if not active_colors:
        print("\nNo explicit pen styles overrides found in this CTB. Table skipped.")
        return
    db = Db.curDb()

    table.setPosition(insert_pt)
