Create a Polyline Object (.NET)

This example adds a lightweight polyline with two straight segments using the 2D coordinates (2,4), (4,2), and (6,4) to Model space.

C# Example

using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;
 
[CommandMethod("AddLightweightPolyline")]
public static void AddLightweightPolyline()
{
    // 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 polyline with two segments (3 points)
        using (Polyline acPoly = new Polyline())
        {
            acPoly.AddVertexAt(0, new Point2d(2, 4), 0, 0, 0);
            acPoly.AddVertexAt(1, new Point2d(4, 2), 0, 0, 0);
            acPoly.AddVertexAt(2, new Point2d(6, 4), 0, 0, 0);

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

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