The following example shows how to embed a DXF file to a drawing with
the scale 0.5:
using Tekla.Structures.Drawing; using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d; using System.IO; public class Example { public void Example1() { DrawingHandler MyDrawingHandler = new DrawingHandler(); ViewBase _view = MyDrawingHandler.GetActiveDrawing().GetSheet().GetAllViews().Current as ViewBase; EmbeddedObjectAttributes attributes = new EmbeddedObjectAttributes(); attributes.XScale = 0.5; attributes.YScale = 0.5; DwgObject dxf = new DwgObject(_view, new Point(100, 100), Path.GetFullPath("my_dxf.dxf"), attributes); dxf.Insert(); } }
