how to create mulitdrawing

[olszewski-grzegorz]

Hi @better319 ! Unfortunately, there is no support for multidrawing creation in the Tekla Open API :/ If official API is not supporting this, then Drawing Link won't help.

But ... it can be somehow bypassed with macros like (but it will be quite hard to control the whole process):

• Empty multidrawing creation:

pragma warning disable 1633 // Unrecognized #pragma directive

pragma reference "Tekla.Macros.Wpf.Runtime"

pragma reference "Tekla.Macros.Runtime"

pragma warning restore 1633 // Unrecognized #pragma directive

namespace UserMacros { public sealed class Macro { [Tekla.Macros.Runtime.MacroEntryPointAttribute()] public static void Run(Tekla.Macros.Runtime.IMacroRuntime runtime) { Tekla.Macros.Wpf.Runtime.IWpfMacroHost wpf = runtime.Get(); wpf.InvokeCommand("CommandRepository", "Drawing.CreateEmptyMultiDrawing"); } } }

• Multidrawing creation based on the current selection in the document manager:

pragma warning disable 1633 // Unrecognized #pragma directive

pragma reference "Tekla.Macros.Wpf.Runtime"

pragma reference "Tekla.Macros.Runtime"

pragma warning restore 1633 // Unrecognized #pragma directive

namespace UserMacros { public sealed class Macro { [Tekla.Macros.Runtime.MacroEntryPointAttribute()] public static void Run(Tekla.Macros.Runtime.IMacroRuntime runtime) { Tekla.Macros.Wpf.Runtime.IWpfMacroHost wpf = runtime.Get(); wpf.InvokeCommand("CommandRepository", "Drawing.CreateMultiDrawing.FromSelectedDrawings"); } } }

• Linking individually selected drawings with opened multidrawing:

pragma warning disable 1633 // Unrecognized #pragma directive

pragma reference "Tekla.Macros.Wpf.Runtime"

pragma reference "Tekla.Macros.Runtime"

pragma warning restore 1633 // Unrecognized #pragma directive

namespace UserMacros { public sealed class Macro { [Tekla.Macros.Runtime.MacroEntryPointAttribute()] public static void Run(Tekla.Macros.Runtime.IMacroRuntime runtime) { Tekla.Macros.Wpf.Runtime.IWpfMacroHost wpf = runtime.Get(); wpf.View("DocumentManager.MainWindow").Find("AID_DOCMAN_DataGridControl").As.ContextMenu.Find("AID_DocMgr_LinkDrawingViews").As.Button.Invoke(); } } }

But I don't believe in succesful wiring above macros. What exactly would like to achieve? What is your typical workflow with multidrawings?

i just wanna select some similar parts to create the multidrawings , maybe that another way to realize it。 THK!!
