Symbol table for text style table records.

This class manages text style table records which represent text styles within a drawing database. Text styles define the appearance and properties of text entities, including font, size, and other formatting options.

const textStyleTable = new AcDbTextStyleTable(database);
const fonts = textStyleTable.fonts;
console.log('Available fonts:', fonts);

Accessors

  • get database(): AcDbDatabase
  • Gets the database in which this object is resident.

    When an object isn't added to a database, this property returns the current working database. After it is added to a database, it will be set automatically. You should never set this value manually.

    Returns AcDbDatabase

    The database this object belongs to

    const db = obj.database;
    
  • set database(db: AcDbDatabase): void
  • Sets the database for this object.

    This is typically set automatically when the object is added to a database. Manual setting should be avoided unless you know what you're doing.

    Parameters

    Returns void

    obj.database = myDatabase;
    
  • get fonts(): string[]
  • Gets all fonts used in text styles.

    This method iterates through all text style table records and extracts the font names from both the primary font file and big font file. Font names are normalized by removing file extensions and converting to lowercase.

    Returns string[]

    Array of unique font names used in text styles

    const fonts = textStyleTable.fonts;
    console.log('Available fonts:', fonts);
    // Output: ['arial', 'times', 'calibri', ...]
  • get objectId(): string
  • Gets the object ID.

    AutoCAD uses 64-bit integers to represent handles, which exceed the maximum integer value of JavaScript. Therefore, strings are used to represent object handles.

    Returns string

    The object ID as a string

    const id = obj.objectId;
    console.log(`Object ID: ${id}`);
  • set objectId(value: string): void
  • Sets the object ID.

    Parameters

    • value: string

      The new object ID

    Returns void

    obj.objectId = 'new-object-id';
    
  • get ownerId(): string
  • Gets the object ID of the owner of this object.

    Returns string

    The owner object ID

    const ownerId = obj.ownerId;
    
  • set ownerId(value: string): void
  • Sets the object ID of the owner of this object.

    Parameters

    • value: string

      The new owner object ID

    Returns void

    obj.ownerId = 'parent-object-id';
    

Methods

  • Closes the object.

    All changes made to the object since it was opened are committed to the database, and a "closed" notification is sent. This method can be overridden by subclasses to provide specific cleanup behavior.

    Returns void

    obj.close();
    
  • Gets the value of the specified attribute.

    This method will throw an exception if the specified attribute doesn't exist. Use getAttrWithoutException() if you want to handle missing attributes gracefully.

    Parameters

    • attrName: string

      The name of the attribute to retrieve

    Returns any

    The value of the specified attribute

    When the specified attribute doesn't exist

    try {
    const value = obj.getAttr('objectId');
    } catch (error) {
    console.error('Attribute not found');
    }
  • Gets the value of the specified attribute without throwing an exception.

    This method returns undefined if the specified attribute doesn't exist, making it safer for optional attributes.

    Parameters

    • attrName: string

      The name of the attribute to retrieve

    Returns any

    The value of the specified attribute, or undefined if it doesn't exist

    const value = obj.getAttrWithoutException('optionalAttribute');
    if (value !== undefined) {
    // Use the value
    }
  • Checks if the table contains a record with the specified name.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The name to search for

    Returns boolean

    True if a record with the specified name exists, false otherwise

    if (symbolTable.has('MyRecord')) {
    console.log('Record exists');
    }
  • Checks if the table contains a record with the specified ID.

    Parameters

    • id: string

      The ID to search for

    Returns boolean

    True if a record with the specified ID exists, false otherwise

    if (symbolTable.hasId('some-object-id')) {
    console.log('Record exists');
    }
  • Removes the record with the specified name.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The name of the record to remove

    Returns boolean

    True if the record was found and removed, false otherwise

    const removed = symbolTable.remove('MyRecord');
    if (removed) {
    console.log('Record removed successfully');
    }
  • Removes the record with the specified ID.

    Parameters

    • id: string

      The object ID of the record to remove

    Returns boolean

    True if the record was found and removed, false otherwise

    const removed = symbolTable.removeId('some-object-id');
    if (removed) {
    console.log('Record removed successfully');
    }
