Dynamic Blocks of acad implementation

Summary

It is possible to add the ability to read the properties and values of blocks and block references of ACAD ?

Solution

In the 6023 version a new value ReadDynamicBlockProperties is available in FilePropertie's ImportDWGFlags properties. By default this value is AnalyzePolylineCurves so you need this to be changed in your application to AnalyzePolylineCurves + ReadDynamicBlockProperties. If this value is specified then the extra properties of dynamic blocks references are read and added as XProperties in the object.

These are added in tetrads with VALUE/SHOW/READONLY/DESCRIPTION for each dynamic property of this block.
For example a dynamic block/blockRef with a property with the name "Origin" can be read in the XProprties of the vdInsert like:

• DYN_BLOCK_Origin_VALUE : contains the value of the property Origin
• DYN_BLOCK_Origin_SHOW : visible or not
• DYN_BLOCK_Origin_READONLY : read only or not
• DYN_BLOCK_Origin_DESCRIPTION : the description (text) of this property if exists
