Xrecord or xdata

Hello

 

XData befitting using 1005 to link and integrate handles multiple files to AutoCAD own updates hanlde recorded, this also happens using XRECORD?

 

Thanks

I suppose you're reffering to the "special" types of the XData. When extracts from the developer help:

 

XRecord

Xrecord objects are used to store and manage arbitrary data. They are composed of DXF group codes with normal object groups (that is, non-xdata group codes), ranging from 1 through 369 for supported ranges. These objects are similar in concept to xdata but is not limited by size or order.

XData:

Within each application's group, the contents, meaning, and organization of the data are defined by the application. AutoCAD maintains the information but does not use it. The table also shows that the group codes for xdata are in the range 1000-1071. Many of these group codes are for familiar data types, as follows:

So I'd say ... no, xrecords don't have such requirement. You can set any code inside a xrecord (from 1 to 369) to any type of value. You don't need to worry about what type goes into what code as you do with xdata. But conversely - xrecords thus also don't help showing you what is supposed to go where. It's all up to you or the original programmer to decide.

Mr. irneb , Where can I read more about XRecord and XData ?

 

Many thanks.

Firstly I'd look at the developer help:
