Problems with CR LF and Color .lgd bug?

[hansenvandenwatt]

Hello,

I try to export DXF with Xdata-Attributes with the a2c32.dll, called from a ArcGIS-Extension.



1.
If the Shape-Attribute-Field contains linebreaks (CR LF) a2c32.dll causes an error i can't trap -> this kills my Application.
Arcv2CAD 5.0 has the same Problems with Linebreaks.
Is it possible to automatically replace Linebreaks and other illegal Characters (/:?*|=...) in the next Version?



2.
I have the following Line in my .a2c-File:
/SF=0 /SV=15 /LFN=ART_TEXT /LC=2 /L2=32 /LT=1 /RL="C:\Temp\Nutzungsart.shp.lgd" \
/C=1 /C0=250 /C1=0 /CFN=ART_TEXT /CC=2 /C2=32 /CH=0 /CS=-1 /CT=1 /RC="C:\Temp\Nutzungsart.shp.col.lgd" \
/AX=4,5,6,7,8,9,10 /AC=250 /AS=ARIAL_TT /AF=ARIAL.TTF /APB=5 /APJ=1 /APV=0 /AH=1 /APAF=1 /APPF=1 /AK=0 /AV=1 /AI=0 /AIP=0 \
/P=4 /PNB=_POINT /PH=1.5 "C:\Temp\Nutzungsart.shp"

The File Nutzungsart.shp.col.lgd looks like this:

Arcv2CAD draws the CAD-Objects in the wrong color, for example objects with the Shape-Attribute-Value "S" in the field "ART_TEXT" (Field with index 6) in color 90 instead of 201

Is there an error in my .lgd or .a2c-File?


Kind regards,

Hello,

The real reason for this error is not the linebreak.
The max. length of a Shape-Attributefield is 255 Characters.
My shapefile has a field with strings with 255 characters.
The total length of the Xdata record "[fieldname]=[fielvalue]" exceeds the max. allowed length of 255 Characters for a Xdata record.

Is it possible to cut the Attributes after 244 Characters? (10 Char max dBase Fieldname + "=" )

Kind regards,

Hello hansenvandenwatt,

1. We will post a new software update later today to make sure that the total length of the XDATA field does not exceed 255 characters (it will be truncated at 255.) Look for the new update Arcv2CAD 5.0 A.17 or above.

Arcv2CAD download here. (http://www.guthcad.com/download.htm)


2. The colors in the .lgd file need to be specified in blocks of 20. So you need to change


[Colors]
Ramp=0
NumColors=34
[Cols]
Grad=0
0=51,90,150,254,21,81,90,150,90,92,21,21,33,21,33, 21,33,21,81,254,91,92,92,254,92,201,201,150,90,91, 150,150,191

to


[Colors]
Ramp=0
NumColors=34
[Cols]
Grad=0
0=51,90,150,254,21,81,90,150,90,92,21,21,33,21,33, 21,33,21,81,254
1=91,92,92,254,92,201,201,150,90,91,150,150,191,7

The above was not documented anywhere, so not your fault not to know about it. We will put a note about it in the new user manual update.

(Also you actually only had 33 colors specified, instead of 34. I have tacked on an extra pen number above.)
