Hi Mark,
Recently I'm working on the AutoCAD attribute extraction. When I install the
pywin32 and write the code as follow:
Before into the code, I want to ask one question. If I wish to extract from dxf
file can I use the same method as below?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import win32com.client
acad = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoCAD.Application")
ms = acad.ActiveDocument
for entity in acad.ActiveDocument.ModelSpace:
name = entity.EntityName
if name == 'AcDbBlockReference':
HasAttributes = entity.HasAttributes
if HasAttributes:
print(entity.Name)
print(entity.Layer)
print(entity.ObjectID)
for attrib in entity.GetAttributes():
print("{}:{}".format(attrib.TagString, attrib.TextString))
attrib.TextString='modified with python'
arrtib.Update()
I encountered an error says :
==================== RESTART: F:\PHP\DXF_Data\Script4.py ====================
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\python3.5\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 89, in
_GetGoodDispatch
IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221005, 'invalid string', None, None)
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\PHP\DXF_Data\Script4.py", line 3, in <module>
acad = win32com.client.Dispatch("__**AutoCAD.Application")
File "E:\python3.5\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 95,
in Dispatch
dispatch, userName =
dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx)
File "E:\python3.5\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 114,
in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName
return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)
File "E:\python3.5\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 91, in
_GetGoodDispatch
IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx,
pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221005, 'invalid string', None, None)
>>>
So I go back to the makeup.py to check if there is a autocad type library but
I didn't found it.
Can I get any suggestion from you?
Best Regards,
Will
