Hi,
How to find out an entity belongs to the current drawing or to any attached drawing(s) using .NET API?

Thanks,

Entity e;
string filename = e.Database.Filename;

DBObject obj = trans.GetObject(wrkEntityId, Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.OpenMode.ForRead);
string whereAmIfrom = obj.Database.Filename;

If you are using Map Objects, they have 2 properties:

MapObjectId.ObjectHandle and MapObjectId.DrawingId

Dear Dennis,
I have tried your method...

There are 2 entities in my drawing, 1 is from the attached drawing and the other one I have digitized in the current drawing. For both the entities I am getting the obj.Database.Filename as...

1. C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk Map 3D 2007\R17.0\enu\Template\map2d.dwt

2. C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk Map 3D 2007\R17.0\enu\Template\map2d.dwt

Is there any alternative methods...

Thanks,
Ranga

Hi,
I got the solution from this thread...
http://discussion.autodesk.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=6033118�

Solution is...
1. Iterate on project drawing objects
2. Get the object's origin drawing using: HostMapApplicationServices.Application.ActiveProject.GetSourceDrawingId(objId);
3. Note: Beware of exception thrown if the object is not queried from an attached drawing.

Thanks,
