Using Delphi With Autocad

The document discusses how to integrate Autocad drawings into a Delphi application by using the ActiveX control to start Autocad, open drawings, and zoom to specific locations; it provides code examples for connecting to Autocad 2000 and Autocad 14, as the methods for opening drawings and zooming are different between the two versions.

Existe um componente para importar arquivos do AutoCAD dentro do Delphi, mas ele
pago:

http://www.cadsofttools.com/en/products/cad_import_vcl.html

Alguns sites tambm sugerem importar o ActiveX (extenso .OCX) do AutoCAD no Delphi,
atravs do menu Component > Import Component > Import ActiveX Control. A janela ir
exibir uma lista com os componentes ActiveX acessveis. Caso o ActiveX do AutoCAD no
esteja na lista, voc pode adicionar a DLL ou OCX atravs do boto Add. Infelizmente no
sei te informar qual o nome do arquivo a ser adicionado... no tenho o AutoCAD instalado

Using Delphi with Autocad

Question: I have an Industrial database application in Delphi with
several equipment. Also I have a plant layout in Autocad, and
several Process Flow Diagrams (PFD) also in Autocad.

How can I show the location of the equipment or the PFD to the
users?

Answer:
In this example we let Autocad start up, Open a file and zoom in to
a desired location.
We will to this for Acad-14, and Acad-2000


We will need a form with a button, add the units ActiveX, ComObj
and OleCtnrs.



unit AcadTest2000;

interface

uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs,
StdCtrls, ActiveX, ComObj, OleCtnrs;

type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;

var
Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
p1, p2 : OleVariant;
Acad, ActiveDoc, : OleVariant;
begin
// create variant arrays to hold coordinates of the window
p1 := VarArrayCreate([0,2], VT_R8);
p2 := VarArrayCreate([0,2], VT_R8);

// assign values to array elements
p1[0] := 14330.0; p1[1] := 400.0; p1[2] := 0; //point
(14330,400,0)
p2[0] := 26400.0; p2[1] := 8500.0; p2[2] := 0; //point
(26400,8500,0)

Acad := CreateOleObject('AutoCad.Application');
if not varisempty(Acad) then
Acad.visible := visible;

// open drawing
ActiveDoc := Acad.Documents.Open('E:\Home\Planview.dwg');

// zoom appliciation
Acad.ZoomExtents;
Acad.ZoomWindow(VarArrayRef(p1),VarArrayRef(p2));
end;

end.


The Approach for Acad-14 is different. The ZoomExtents and
ZoomWindow methods apply to a viewport, also the sintaxe of opening
a file is different
unit AcadTest14;

interface

uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs,
StdCtrls, ActiveX, ComObj, OleCtnrs;

type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;

var
Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
p1, p2 : OleVariant;
Acad, ActiveDoc, ViewPort : OleVariant;
begin
// create variant arrays to hold coordinates of the window
p1 := VarArrayCreate([0,2], VT_R8);
p2 := VarArrayCreate([0,2], VT_R8);

// assign values to array elements
p1[0] := 14330.0; p1[1] := 400.0; p1[2] := 0; //point
(14330,400,0)
p2[0] := 26400.0; p2[1] := 8500.0; p2[2] := 0; //point
(26400,8500,0)

Acad := CreateOleObject('AutoCad.Application.14');
if not varisempty(Acad) then
Acad.visible := visible;

// open drawing
ActiveDoc := Acad.ActiveDocument.Open('E:\Home\Planview.dwg');

//Activate viewport
ViewPort := ActiveDoc.ActiveViewPort;

// zoom appliciation
ViewPort.ZoomExtents;
ViewPort.ZoomWindow(VarArrayRef(p1),VarArrayRef(p2));
end;

end.
