Issue: How to get references to external files (CADNET-110).
Tips: To get references to external files for drawings in the entity block there is an XRef PathName field for raster images CadRasterImage Def is used for external underlay CadDgnUnderlay is used and its UnderlayPath field.
Example:
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

External drawing: | |
foreach (CadBaseEntity baseEntity in image.Entities) | |
{ | |
// if entity is a block | |
if (baseEntity.TypeName == CadEntityTypeName.INSERT) | |
{ | |
CadInsertObject insert = (CadInsertObject)baseEntity; | |
CadBlockEntity block = image.BlockEntities[insert.Name]; | |
// get external reference to object | |
System.Console.WriteLine(block.XRefPathName); | |
} | |
} | |
External raster image: | |
foreach (CadBaseObject baseObject in image.Objects) | |
{ | |
// if entity is an image definition | |
if (baseObject.TypeName == CadObjectTypeName.IMAGEDEF) | |
{ | |
CadRasterImageDef rasterImageDef = (CadRasterImageDef)baseObject; | |
// get external reference to object | |
System.Console.WriteLine(rasterImageDef.FileName); | |
} | |
} | |
External underlay: | |
foreach (CadBaseEntity baseEntity in cadImage.Entities) | |
{ | |
if (baseEntity.TypeName == CadEntityTypeName.DGNUNDERLAY) // or DWFUNDERLAY, or PDFUNDERLAY | |
{ | |
CadDgnUnderlay dgnFile = (CadDgnUnderlay)baseEntity; // or CadDwfUnderlay, or CadPdfUnderlay | |
System.Console.WriteLine(dgnFile.UnderlayPath); | |
} | |
