Block geometry

Rhino.Inside AutoCAD
1

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a way to bring AutoCAD block geometry into Rhino using Rhino.Inside.AutoCAD, but I haven’t figured out the workflow yet. Does anyone know if this is possible or how to achieve it?

@JohnFrost Does Extract Block Geometry do what you are after?

It also looks like you are using one of the very early versions of the application, try the latest here V1.0.16: Rhino.Inside.AutoCAD - Grasshopper Integration for AutoCAD | Bimorph

@Tom_Norris thanks so much for your response.

I have tried installing v1.16, but I can only get it to work up to v1.5.

Starting from that version, even though the Rhino.Inside ribbon appears in the interface, whenever I click on any icon, I get an ‘Unknown command’ error in the command line.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Regards

Hi @JohnFrost

I have a feeling that this might be an issue to do with when we added support for Autocad2025 and Autocad2026 in V1.0.6. So thanks for being one of the first to download the software :slight_smile:. But essentially, the first couple of versions of the application just supported Autocad2024 and then to support all versions we had to rename AutoCAD UI interface files as Autocad can sometime cache them meaning we can have the wrong one loaded in the wrong version. The installation should clean this up but it may have missed it on this occation

To Test can you try the following steps:

Step 1) Uninstall the previous version using the Add and Remove Programs.

Step 2) Navigate to your user roaming folder, you can copy and paste this into the file browser: %AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins

Step 3) If there is a folder called Rhino.Inside.AutoCAD.bundle remove it.

Step 4) Navigate to %AppData%\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2024 then into the service release e.g. R24.3 then the following /enu/Support

Step 5) Delete any Files in the support folder which start with RhinoInsideAutocad

Then try an install V1.0.16, and let us know how it goes?

Hi @Tom_Norris

Just to let you know, with AutoCAD 2023, I was only able to get it working up to version 1.0.5. However, after installing AutoCAD 2024, version 1.1.0 worked perfectly without any issues.

Thank you!

Good to know, We only are only officially supporting v2024 and above
