pythonautocad

Using pyautocad, how do i change mesh properties(color)

In pyautocad, I created a cube using a 3d mesh and matrix but I can't figure out how to change the mesh's color.

manually changing mesh color(https://i.sstatic.net/xRoyH.png)

Tried looking for module methods to change color but couldn't find anything.

Solution

  • Normally you would want to assign the object to a layer, Then set the layer to a color But you can set the color directly to the entity Not pyautocad per se, this is using win32com

    import traceback
from pyrx_impx import Rx, Ge, Gi, Db, Ap, Ed, Ax

def PyRxCmd_doit() -> None:
    try:
        axApp = Ax.getApp()
        axDoc = axApp.ActiveDocument
        Ax.IAcadEntity
    
        # (IAcadEntity, Point)
        axEntRes = axDoc.Utility.GetEntity("Pick an it")
        axEnt: Ax.IAcadEntity= axEntRes[0]
    
        # color index red
        axEnt.color = 1
    
        # TrueColor green
        acColor = Ax.AcadAcCmColor()
        acColor.SetRGB(34,139,34)
        axEnt.TrueColor = acColor
    
    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)
