My code lets you select the multipage pdf, input the first # of sheets to pdf import ,starting from sheet1, into the active modelspace, input the scale, and wallah! There's a "ReadMe.txt" file for instructions. I'll have to credit posting the custom FileDialog Class workaround here: VBA Custom FileDialog Class Workaround . I'm attaching a Code I developed along with a custom FileDialog Class in order to select the pdf of interest via a file dialog. Saw that had some good insight on tackling this. Notice that I added CommandFlags.Session to make this command being executed in Application context, thus I must use Document.SendStringToExecution(), rather than Editor.Command().īy the way, this forum is meant for AutoCAD VBA/COM API, while your post is about AutoCAD. Var cmd = "-PDFIMPORT f \"D:\\Temp\\TestPdf.pdf\"\r" ĭwg.SendStringToExecute(cmd, true, false, false) ĭwg.SendStringToExecute("1\r", true, false, false) ĭwg.SendStringToExecute("10.0,10.0\r", true, false, false) ĭwg.SendStringToExecute("1.0\r", true, false, false) ĭwg.SendStringToExecute("30.0\r", true, false, false) ĭwg.SendStringToExecute($"(setvar \"FILEDIA\" )\r", true, false, false) Start command -PDFIMPORT with pdf file name supplied If you want to do it in Application context (such as doing it from button click of a modeless window, you cannot call Editor.Command(), so, a Document.SendStringToExecution(0 version would still needed as below, which also works OK with my Acad2018: ĭwg.SendStringToExecute("(setvar \"FILEDIA\" 0)\r", true, false, false) However, Editor.Command() can only be called in Document Context.

Save original FILEDIA value and then set it to 0 Here is the Editor.Command() version of code, which works with my Acad2018: Since you are using Acad2017 (Acad2015 or later), executing Acad command with Editor.Command() method would be much easier than Document.SendStringToExecute() in this case (a command with many user inputs).
