Hi Tom, @Tom_Norris
It seems the attributes of objects in CAD cannot get or set until now. Such as to modify the dimstyle, text override, text font of dimension, or to modify the linetype, linetype scale, or to reassign the layer to the object.
In my scenario, we generally layout all the drawings in model space, and mostly some designers won’t entirely care about the dimstyle, linetype and scale, hatch and scale. So I want to regularize all the objects contained in title block base on the block scale and the standard type.
Is there a roadmap for this? I am looking forward to the feature or the development plan.
Hi @weekenlwk,
Yes this is definitely on the road map, both to Get and to Set. On the Get side: In the next release candidate we have improved the Generic Autocad Object Component such that if the object which is passed in is an entity you will be able to get many more of the properties:
You can follow the progress here: https://github.com/mcneel/rhino.inside-autocad/issues/26
Regarding setting them, this is definitely something we want to support, but it is more complex as not all the objects in grasshopper exist in the Autocad document as some are memory only (e.g. created from GH/ Rhino Geometry), so we also have to be mindful about how this will intersect/ interfere with the baking side.
Thanks for the quick reply. Can’t wait to try out this upcoming feature.
