Schematic diagram generation using ArcObjects

KevinLECOCQ — Wed, 03 Sep 2014 15:02:17 GMT

Hi, I would like to generate a schematic diagram using ArcObjects (Java) but I didn't find any sample or documentation on how to do it, even in the .NET samples.

I only found this sample:

Generating Standard Builder diagrams by code

but it dates from ArcObjects 9.2 and is for VB.

I can't find any equivalent in java to this kind of instantiation:

Set pSchStandardBuilder = CreateObject("esriSchematic.SchematicStandardBuilder")

Does anyone knows how to use the Schematics ArcObjects API?

Thanks.

There is a snippet in the api documentation...but...the link is broken

No nice way to do this other than copy/paste...here you go:

Thanks for your reply.

I understand how this sample works, but I don't know how to rewrite this kind of instantiation in Java:

Dim objectType As Type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("esriSchematic.SchematicStandardBuilderContext")

considering there isn't any SchematicStandardBuilderContext class in the ArcObjects class package.

Do you know what's the equivalent?

It appears that you figured out a real problem in our ArcObjects Java AP . We have some classes missing.

No solution at that time to create SchematicStandardBuilder and SchematicStandardBuilderContext objects from scratch using Java code...

Re: Schematic diagram generation using ArcObjects

KevinLECOCQ — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:48:24 GMT

Yes, I realize that too.

And it seems that there is not many developers using ArcObjects + Java + Schematics...

Re: Schematic diagram generation using ArcObjects

KevinLECOCQ — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:54:36 GMT

As a temporary solution, I will use C# instead of Java, only for the schematic diagram generation.

For people that still have the same problem, please refer to ISchematicStandardBuilderProxy(ISchematicStandardBuilderProxy (ArcObjects Java API) )

and ArcGIS development using the Java API (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcobjects-java/concepts/engine/index.html#//000100000608000000 )

Hi Team,

When I run the same code in a console application by checking out the Schematics Extension license, it is generating an empty diagram but working fine as an addin.

Could someone please help me with this. Do we need to add the Schematic extension to the console application?

Thanks & Regards,

Vara Prasad
