Hi,

I try to find a dxf files only which is overlapped in multiple dxf files using API. Assist me on this. See the sample dxf.

Hi,

This is in AutoCAD's ARX, and .NET's API

Here's a sample in Python

 

def PyRxCmd_doit() -> None:
    try:
        line1 = Ge.LineSeg3d(Ge.Point3d(2, 0, 0), Ge.Point3d(5, 0, 0))
        line3 = Ge.LineSeg3d(Ge.Point3d(0, 0, 0), Ge.Point3d(10, 0, 0))
        
        overlapResults = line1.overlap(line3)
        if not overlapResults[0]:
            print("Nope")
            return 
        seg :  Ge.LineSeg3d = overlapResults[1]
        
        print("Overlaps from point {}, to point {}".format(
            seg.getStartPoint(), seg.getEndPoint()))
            
    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)

 

and the result

Quote

Command: DOIT
Overlaps from point (2.00000000000000,0.00000000000000,0.00000000000000), to point (5.00000000000000,0.00000000000000,0.00000000000000)

For other objects, you might be able to check entity bounding boxes
