Create a Line Object (.NET)

This example adds a line that starts at (5,5,0) and ends at (12,3,0) to Model space.

C# Example

using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;
 
[CommandMethod("AddLine")]
public static void AddLine()
{
    // Get the current document and database
    Document acDoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
    Database acCurDb = acDoc.Database;

    // Start a transaction
    using (Transaction acTrans = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
    {
        // Open the Block table for read
        BlockTable acBlkTbl;
        acBlkTbl = acTrans.GetObject(acCurDb.BlockTableId,
                                     OpenMode.ForRead) as BlockTable;

        // Open the Block table record Model space for write
        BlockTableRecord acBlkTblRec;
        acBlkTblRec = acTrans.GetObject(acBlkTbl[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace],
                                        OpenMode.ForWrite) as BlockTableRecord;

        // Create a line that starts at 5,5 and ends at 12,3
        using (Line acLine = new Line(new Point3d(5, 5, 0),
                                      new Point3d(12, 3, 0)))
        {

            // Add the new object to the block table record and the transaction
            acBlkTblRec.AppendEntity(acLine);
            acTrans.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(acLine, true);
        }

        // Save the new object to the database
        acTrans.Commit();
    }
}
