Using a Form Button to run a Mycommands Class Method

[muck]

The following procedure works in the command class to change dimstyle variables.

I can used the command DimStyleChange to change dim style variables.

 

[CommandMethod("DimStyleChange")]

// public static void CreateModifyDimStyle1(string DimStyleName, out string message)

public void StandardStyleChange()

{

String DimStyleName;

DimStyleName = "Standard";

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Test");

// Initialise the message value that gets returned by an exception (or not!)

message = string.Empty;

 

try

{

using (Transaction tr = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())

{

Database db = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;

DimStyleTable dst = (DimStyleTable)tr.GetObject(db.DimStyleTableId, OpenMode.ForWrite, true);

//System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Test");

// Initialise a DimStyleTableRecord

DimStyleTableRecord dstr = null;

// If the required dimension style exists

if (dst.Has(DimStyleName))

{

// get the dimension style table record open for writing

dstr = (DimStyleTableRecord)tr.GetObject(dst[DimStyleName], OpenMode.ForWrite);

}

else

// Initialise as a new dimension style table record

dstr = new DimStyleTableRecord();

 

// Set all the available dimension style properties

// Most/all of these match the variables in AutoCAD.

dstr.Name = DimStyleName;

 

 

 

// If the dimension style doesn't exist

if (!dst.Has(DimStyleName))

{

// Add it to the dimension style table and collect its Id

Object dsId = dst.Add(dstr);

// Add the new dimension style table record to the document

tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(dstr, true);

}

dstr.Dimasz = 0.1875;//Arrow head size

dstr.Dimscale = 5;//Dim Scale

dstr.Dimtxt = 0.085;//Dim Text size

 

// Commit the changes.

tr.Commit();

}

}

catch (Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Exception e)

{

message = e.Message.ToString();

}

}

But when I create a form button and try to start the above method the proceedure

does not make changes. So what should I look at to trouble shoot?

 

Here is my button code.

private void button7_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

MyCommands ObjMycommands = new MyCommands();

ObjMycommands.StandardStyleChange();

 

}

Thank you,
