Ahankhah Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi All, who knows whether it is possible to change drawing properties without opening it using ObjectDBX or not? If so how to save the new properties to the drawing file? I greatly appreciate any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBox Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Mehrdad, Consider using the Save, or SaveAs Method to retain any permissible changes made to the DBX Document Object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 This is certainly possible since the SummaryInfo Object is accessible from the Document Object through an ObjectDBX interface. I've actually just updated my ObjectDBX Wrapper program which may save you some code-writing time for this task. Examples of how to use the SummaryInfo Object can be found here.

marko_ribar Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Lee, can you explain us what are differences between your old ObjectDBX Wrapper.lsp from 2011 and new one 2012 (v1.1)... Your previous version supported sub-folders and your new one doesn't, so what are improvements? M.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your previous version supported sub-folders and your new one doesn't, so what are improvements? I've removed the prompt for subfolders since I felt it was unnecessary for the majority of tasks and without its inclusion the code is more concise. I've also changed the behaviour of how the code reports errors during processing: previously an error object would be returned and the user would have to ensure the returned list is iterated to evaluate the error objects. In the new version, the error message is printed to the command-line and the function result is nil for that drawing. Apart from that, I've rewritten the entire function.
