Starting with AutoCAD 2018-based products, AutoLISP programs that utilize the members defined by the IAcadFileDependencies and IAcadFileDependency classes in the AutoCAD ActiveX/COM library must be updated as a result of the classes being removed. The AutoLISP functions that are affected are:
- Methods
vla-CreateEntryvla-IndexOfvla-Itemvla-RemoveEntryvla-UpdateEntry
- Properties
vla-get-AffectsGraphicsvla-get-Countvla-get-Featurevla-get-FileDependenciesvla-get-FileNamevla-get-FileSizevla-get-FingerprintGuidvla-get-FoundPathvla-get-FullFileNamevla-get-Indexvla-get-IsModifiedvla-get-ReferenceCountvla-get-TimeStampvla-get-VersionGuid
The IAcadFileDependencies and IAcadFileDependency classes were useful in obtaining information about the files attached to or referenced by a drawing file, such as xrefs, fonts, and plot styles. However, those classes didn't always work consistently as expected and didn't support all files that could be attached to or referenced by a drawing, such as Coordination Models, weblight IES definition files, images used to define materials for rendering and more. Even with the short comings of the two classes and their members, they were useful.
This article doesn't focus on how to go about reintroducing all of the functionality that the two classes supported, but focuses on how to go about getting the file paths to the files attached to or referenced by a drawing. The filename and path information associated with an attached or referenced file can be found in a few different places within the drawing database, it is a matter of knowing where to look. Filenames/paths to a file referenced by a drawing is stored in one of the following places:
- Properties of objects stored in a symbol table; xrefs and font styles
- Data of an xrecord attached to a named dictionary; underlays and materials
- Data of an xrecord attached to an extension dictionary; weblight (IES) definition files
Note: The code samples in this article are provided AS-IS and may need to be modified to handle conditions that were not identified during development.
The following code sample is a utility function that splits a string into individual elements based on a specified character, and returns the individual string elements as a list. The SPLIT function is used by several of the sample function to split the path of support folders:
;; Usage: (split (getenv "PrinterConfigDir") ";")
;; Usage: (split (getenv "PrinterStyleSheetDir") ";")
(defun split (sExpression sDelimiter / len val sList)
; Get the length of the first item from the expression based on delimiter position
(setq len (vl-string-position (ascii sDelimiter) sExpression))
; Loop until there are no more instances of the delimiter in the expression
(while (numberp len)
; Get the item from the expression
(setq val (substr sExpression 1 len))
; Append the item to the list
(setq sList (cons val sList))
; Get the remaining part of the expression
(setq sExpression (substr sExpression (+ 2 len)))
; Get the length of the next item from the string based on delimiter position
(setq len (vl-string-position (ascii sDelimiter) sExpression))
)
; Add the last value to the list
(if (/= sExpression nil)
(setq sList (cons sExpression sList))
)
; Reverse the elements and return the list
(reverse sList)
)
The SPLIT function was originally mention in the article "Splitting A String Into A List of Elements Based on Delimiter".
The following is yet another utility function that was written, and it attempts at trying to resolve relative paths. The RESOLVERELATIVEPATH function accepts two string arguments, the first is a file name with a path and the second is the path to try and resolve the relative path with. The resolve path will commonly be the location of the drawing file.
;; Returns a filename based on the resolved path
;; Usage: (ResolveRelativePath "..\\grid.dwg" (getvar "dwgprefix"))
(defun ResolveRelativePath (fileNamePath dwgPath / )
; Check for relative paths and attempt to resolve the path to the xref
(cond
; Relative path, should resolve multiple levels of relative folders; DWG file must be saved
((and (= (substr fileNamePath 1 2) "..")(/= (getvar "dwgprefix") ""))
(while (= (substr fileNamePath 1 2) "..")
(setq fileNamePath (substr fileNamePath 4)
dwgPath (substr dwgPath 1 (vl-string-position (ascii "\\") dwgPath 0 T))
)
)
(setq fileNamePath (strcat dwgPath "\\" fileNamePath))
)
; Absolute paths, resolves only the top level folder; DWG file must be saved
((and (= (substr fileNamePath 1 1) ".")(/= (getvar "dwgprefix") ""))
(setq fileNamePath (substr fileNamePath 3)
fileNamePath (strcat dwgPath "\\" fileNamePath)
)
)
)
; Check to see if the fileNamePath is valid, if not then attempt to locate the file in the working support path
(if (not (findfile fileNamePath))
(setq fileNamePath (findfile (strcat (vl-filename-base fileNamePath) (vl-filename-extension fileNamePath))))
(if (= (vl-filename-directory fileNamePath) "")
(setq fileNamePath (findfile fileNamePath))
)
)
; Returns the resolved path with filename, if the path couldn't be resolved
; then the original fileNamePath is returned
fileNamePath
)
Now that the two utility functions have been defined, the heart of the sample functions are used to return the filenames and paths for these types of attached or referenced files:
- Xrefs - Named objects are stored in the Block symbol table; they are blocks with a filename and path information
- Raster images - Definitions are stored in the ACAD_IMAGE_DICT named dictionary
- Fonts - References to SHX and TTF files associated with text styles stored in the Style symbol table
- DWF Underlays - Definitions are stored in the ACAD_DWFDEFINITIONS named dictionary; DWF and DWFx files
- DGN Underlays - Definitions are stored in the ACAD_DWFDEFINITIONS named dictionary; DGN files
- PDF Underlays - Definitions are stored in the ACAD_PDFDEFINITIONS named dictionary; PDF files
- Point clouds - Definitions are stored in the ACAD_POINTCLOUD_EX_DICT named dictionary; RCP files
- Coordination models - Definitions are stored in the ACAD_BIM_DEFINITIONS named dictionary; NWC and NWD files
- Weblight configuration - Information is attached to a LIGHT entity as an extension dictionary with the name ADSK_XREC_PHOTOMETRICLIGHTINFO
- Materials - Definitions are stored in the ACAD_MATERIAL named dictionary
- Plot styles and configurations - References to PC3, CTB, and STB files are stored in the ACAD_LAYOUT and ACAD_PLOTSETTINGS named dictionaries
- Sheet sets - Information related to the layout associated with a sheet set is stored in the AcSheetSetData named dictionary
The functions defined by the following AutoLISP code samples are:
XrefPathsList - Returns a list of the drawing (DWG) files attached to the drawingRasterImagePathsList - Returns a list of the raster images attached to the drawingTextFontPathsList - Returns a list of the font files associated with text styles defined in the drawingWebLightPathsList - Returns a list of the IES files associated with LIGHT entities defined in Model Space and other block definitionsMaterialImagePathsList - Returns a list of the image files associated with the materials defined in the drawingPlotSettingsList - Function used by the PlotConfigurationPathsList and PlotStylesPathsList functions
PlotConfigurationPathsList - Returns a list of PC3 files assigned to the page setups/plot settings in the drawingPlotStylesPathsList - Returns a list of STB or CTB files assigned to the page setups/plot settings in the drawing
UnderlaysList - Function used by the DWFUnderlaysPathsList, DGNUnderlaysPathsList, PDFUnderlaysPathsList, PointCloudsPathsList, and CoordinationModelPathsList functions

I hope that the code samples in this article help you:
- migrate any existing programs that rely on the
IAcadFileDependencies and IAcadFileDependency classes so they can be used in AutoCAD 2018-based products
- think differently on how to get information about the files your drawing requires to plot correctly
If you have any comments or thoughts on this samples in this article, let me know as it would be great to get some input.
Sincerely,
Lee
