Listing user defined page setup using .NET

By Virupaksha Aithal

User defined page setups are basically plotsetting objects that are stored in the dictionary "ACAD_PLOTSETTINGS". Below code shows the procedure to list the user defined page setups.

[CommandMethod("ListPageSetup")]
static public void ListPageSetup()
{
    Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
    Database db = doc.Database;
    Editor ed = doc.Editor;
 
    using (Transaction Tx = 
                db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
    {
        DBDictionary NOD = 
                        Tx.GetObject(db.NamedObjectsDictionaryId, 
                               OpenMode.ForRead) as DBDictionary;
 
 
        DBDictionary plotSettingsDic = 
                    Tx.GetObject(db.PlotSettingsDictionaryId, 
                               OpenMode.ForRead) as DBDictionary;
 
        foreach (DictionaryEntry dicoEntry in plotSettingsDic)
        {
            PlotSettings plotSettings = 
                        Tx.GetObject((ObjectId)(dicoEntry.Value), 
                                OpenMode.ForRead) as PlotSettings;
            ed.WriteMessage("n - Page Setup: " 
                    + dicoEntry.Key.ToString() + " PlotConfig: ");
        }
 
        Tx.Commit();
    }
}
