In addition to AcDb.Database.Wblock()

[jbooth]

Good afternoon,

I have a portion of code that takes a collection of entities and copies them from the active document into a new drawing.

This routine is batched (multiple drawings, multiple collections), so speed is an issue.

Anyway, calling the WBlock() method of the Database object works well enough, but the export ends up missing some key data. For example, layers, and system variables like viewres and pellipse.

Any suggestions?

If items like layers are referenced by the entities you're
cloning, they should be included unless they are named
objects that already exist in the destination database.

You can manually add items to the clone map as well,
from the DeepClone events.

Is there a table of document specific system variables I can access?

To clarify: I wanted the entire dimstyle and layer tables to be exported into the new drawing (which I can do manually myself). My issue is with the system variables that get saved into the document.

Document specific system variables are exposed
as members of the Database class.
