Hi, I'm new here.

Maybe someone here can explain my question.
Is it possible to insert a macrowindow to an existing page in a project?

Find this in the EPLAN_API: public: void SetProject, I'm not sure if you can use it?

Creates today macros by

Project pProject = new ProjectManager().CurrentProject;
                        Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Page oPage = new Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Page();

                        PagePropertyList pNameParts = new PagePropertyList();
                        pNameParts.DESIGNATION_PLANT = "EB3";
                        pNameParts.DESIGNATION_LOCATION = "ET1";
                        pNameParts.PAGE_COUNTER = "10";
                     
                        DocumentTypeManager.DocumentType nType = new DocumentTypeManager.DocumentType();

                        nType = DocumentTypeManager.DocumentType.Circuit;
                       
                        oPage.Create(pProject, nType, pNameParts);

                        PointD oPlacement = new PointD(300.0, 200.0);

                        Eplan.EplApi.HEServices.Insert oInsert = new Eplan.EplApi.HEServices.Insert();

                        StorableObject[] arrStorableObjects = oInsert.WindowMacro(strEMAFileName, 0, oPage,  oPlacement, Insert.MoveKind.Absolute);

                        oPage.Properties.PAGE_NOMINATIOMN = "Power Circuit";

Then I have to always create a new page and can not put the macro in an existing page.

Anyway, very nice forum....

Hi,

Zitat:

Is it possible to insert a macrowindow to an existing page in a project?

---

Yes.

In the example with the statement

Zitat:

---

Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Page oPage = new Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Page();

---

you create a new page.

If you want to place a macro to an existing page you have to identify the object handle of the wanted page and give it to the
Insert.WindowMacro Method.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks anyway Fritz...

Hi,

basically you need an DMObjectsFinder, a PagesFilter and a PagePropertyList.
For example you want to filter all pages in your project that will have a Designation_Plant = "M1" you have do to somthing like that:

DMObjectsFinder objFinder = new DMObjectsFinder(m_oProject);
PagesFilter pagesFilter = new PagesFilter();
PagePropertyList ppl = new PagePropertyList();

ppl.DESIGNATION_PLANT = "M1";
pagesFilter.SetFilteredPropertyList(ppl);
Page[] pgsM1 = objFinder.GetPages(pagesFilter);

foreach (Page page in pgsM1)
{
.....
}

You can filter as well for DocumentTypes like "TableOfContents" or "Circuit" etc.

.....
pagesFilter.DocumentType = DocumentTypeManager.DocumentType.Circuit;
Page[] circuitpages = objFinder.GetPages(pagesFilter);
.....

First you have to identify your needed Page Object handle, with constructs as shown above.

Perhaps you can have a look to the german EPLAN Forum there is a special thread for the P8 API with some examples.
