what happened to setmediasize?
where has oddbplotsettingvalidator::setmediasize gone? have i lost this functionality?
replacement for setmediasize
i do no know how to replace setmediasize with setcanonicalmedianame.
i suppose that first i must use canonical*media*name*list to get a list of the supported media sizes, and then choose one of them with setcanonicalmedianame as shown in the odamfcapp example. my problem is that i have non-standard media-sizes, example : 30x40 cm. how do i set non-standard media-sizes ?
you can generate your own device with new paper sizes in
odplotsettingsvalidatorpeimpl::getdevicelist() & getmedialist().
plotsettingsvalidator.drx is win32 platform module. it return list of window system available devices and some parameter of such devices (like media sizes and margins).
btw : why did you need non-standard media-sizes ?

non-standard mediasizes
nn-standard media-sizes are used when printing to a roll of paper.
if you work on scale 1/10 and the building is for example 20 meter.
the paper will be 2 m long in this case.
for me the name of the printer is not important, because a drawing can be made on computer 1, converted on computer 2, send to computer 3. printernames will surely differ, so will the capabilities of the printer. it is possible to convert a drawing, when there is only a a4 printer on your computer.
i would very much like to write the papersizes to the dwg-file, so the scale of the viewport will be correct. plotter margins are of no importance to me.
i used the following code with a previous version of open design.
oddbdatabaseptr pdb;
oddblayoutptr pentry;
oddbobjectid newlayoutid;
newlayoutid = pdb->createlayout("ddt layout");
pentry = newlayoutid.safeopenobject(oddb::kforwrite);
pentry->setlayoutname("abc");
pentry->setplotsettingsname("");
pplotvalidator = pdb->appservices()->plotsettingsvalidator();
pplotvalidator->setplotcfgname (pentry, "printer");
pplotvalidator->setplotviewname (pentry, "");
pplotvalidator->setmediasize (pentry, "custom", 1500/*widh*/, 900 /* height */, (oddbplotsettings:
lotpaperunits) 1, 0, 0,0, 0);
i looked in the code of odplotsettingsvalidatorpeimpl.
i do not know how to integrate odplotsettingsvalidatorpeimpl in my code.
i would be very thankfull if i could get a piece of code, that i can use to replace setmediasize.
could you tell me your printer name (hp laserjet 4000 series pcl)?
btw :
printername
the printername that i prefer is "none" because for me there is no way of knowing what printer was used by the person who made the drawing. the person who will recieve the drawing will surely have other printers.
on my pc, i have several printers available, 2 of them are
a4 printer : hp color laserjet 4550 pcl
44 inch printer : epson stylus pro 9800
the reciever of the drawing might have an oce-printer.
thank you for your fast responce.
hi
i got epson 9800 printer driver and test it with autocad. epson 9800 has user defined paper - see jpg. i have changed paper sizes to biggest values. it is system driver functionality - not autocad. i selected epson 9800 and user defined paper in the page setup and saved drawing. after loading on pc without epson 9800 autocad changes device to none and adds 'previous paper size **** ' to media list for none device. so user knows prev paper sizes and can select another printer with reasonable paper.
mfcapp is not supported 'prev paper size' in page setup dialog yet, i am planning to add this functionality later, but you can send your file with epson 9800 name inside to pc without epson 9800.

i still got problem with setting paper layout to free size.
i really need function "setmediasize" back. anyone please help me...
setclosestmedianame
hi, i use setmediasize too with dd1_x , now i use setclosestmedianame
( it was a hint from oda )
#ifdef dd_2_x
pvalidator->setclosestmedianame ( playout, ys, xs, oddbplotsettings::kmillimeters, false );
pvalidator->setplotorigin ( playout, xo, yo );
pvalidator->setplotviewname ( playout, plotviewname );
pvalidator->setplotcfgname ( playout, "none_device" );
pvalidator->setstdscale ( playout, m_doccover.m_systemunit );
#else
pvalidator->setmediasize ( playout, papersize, ys, xs, oddbplotsettings::kmillimeters, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5);
pvalidator->setplotorigin ( playout, xo, yo );
pvalidator->setplotviewname ( playout, plotviewname );
pvalidator->setplotcfgname ( playout, "none_device" );
pvalidator->setstdscale ( playout, m_doccover.m_systemunit );
#endif
hi,
this is sample code for changing of anything in oddbplotsettings. it uses oddbentget and oddbentmod methods.
code:

odresbufptr pstart = presb;
while(presb.get() && !(presb->restype() == 100 && presb->getstring() == dd_t("acdbplotsettings")))
presb = presb->next();
// skip 100 "acdbplotsettings"

we've been using this api since dd1.12, are you going to bring it back?
the dd1.12 sdk header file says that setmediasize is
// not very good function
virtual void setmediasize(
so, that should answer the question.
i took the first 3 lines of code from the suggested workaround and pasted it in odvectorizeex sample and it crashes on the 3rd line:
odvectorizeex.cpp: dd2.1, vs2005, using simple drawing test sample or wilhome.dwg
if (!pdb.isnull())
{
oddbblocktablerecordptr playoutblock = pdb->getactivelayoutbtrid().safeopenobject();
oddblayoutptr playout = playoutblock->getlayoutid().safeopenobject(oddb::kforwrite);
odresbufptr presb = oddbentget(playout); // <- crash!
any idea?
thanks,
codey
crash - odbagfiler module should be available.
code:
toolkit_export odresbufptr oddbentget( const oddbobject* pobj )
{
odsmartptr<odbagfilermodule> pmodule = odrxdynamiclinker()->loadapp(dd_t("odbagfiler"));
if(pmodule.isnull())
throw oderror(enointerface);
return pmodule->entget(pobj);
}
