Hi guys,

How i can browse all objects into an autocad database ???

[#2]

There are many ways to get all objects from db

Here is what you can to use, expand functionality

to your suit:

        [CommandMethod("gall")]
        public void GetAllFromDb()
        {
            Document doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Database db = doc.Database;
            Editor ed = doc.Editor;
            ObjectIdCollection ids = new ObjectIdCollection();
            using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartOpenCloseTransaction())
            {
                for (long i = 0; i < db.Handseed.Value; i++)
                {
                    ObjectId id = ObjectId.Null;
                    db.TryGetObjectId(new Handle(i), out id);
                    if (id != ObjectId.Null && !id.IsErased) ids.Add(id);
                }
                foreach (ObjectId id in ids)
                {
                    DBObject obj = tr.GetObject(id, OpenMode.ForRead, false) as DBObject;
                    ed.WriteMessage("\nType of:\t{0}\t{1}\n", obj.GetRXClass().DxfName,id);
                }
            }
        }

thanks a lot, let me try it

[#4]

This code is working fine , no problem on that, but what i'm looking for is, how i can get all the objects user does, because i need to export all objects (lines, circles...etc) and in the xml, I will export all properties of those objects (air, length...etc)

thanks a lot of help

[#5]

In this case better yet to use datextraction methods,

search for this on google or on "through the interface" web page:

http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/

there is an example in there
