Post by Jourde » 13 Jul 2005, 16:25

Hi,

CADImportVCL is able to extract text data from the dwg file.
Could you please explain in AutoDesk terms what do you need to get exactly.

Hi,

CADImportVCL package (http://www.cadsofttools.com/download/CADImportVCL.zip) includes a demo in the next folder: CADImportVCL source\Demos\SimpleImport. It has examples of getting text from DWG file.

ok, i ask to my ARX developper,

he use a ACDB_entity object and use the call-back fonction DWGOutFields and DWGInFields to put and read some texts data stored directly in the dwg.

Can i read that with CadSoftTools ?


Thanx

Hi,

CADImportVCL allows getting of internal entities parameters (for example center point, radius for circles etc). Could you please explain in detail what do you need to get exactly.

ok i explain more my problem :

I have a developper who write electrical appplication with arx/VC++ (200 and 2002 for AutoCad 2000 et 2004and more). before with store some hierachical datas in some files .txt near the main dwg file.

But we want modify that, to include this data directly in the dwg file. For that he use so the DWGOutFields and DWGInFields functions to add data in (like a memo with a data base, it's just some binary data). But now dwg are crypted so with a hex. editor we don't find the text stored in the dwg.

Then i need to be abble to read this text file stored directly in the dwg (like proprietere's objects), if it's possible !

Else we will be able to create a new format of data who include dwg+some text files !


Thanks
