Update object

[sardanapalo]

What would it be the ARX.NET equivalent of This VBA line of code

circle.update

for updating a single grapical object on the model space

.NET has no equivalent to Update() at the entity level.

The way you do things in .NET makes it unnecessary at
best, and wasteful at worst.

When you modify an object in .NET, you do it in a
Transaction. The Transaction will cause all modified
entities to update when the transaction is committed.

If you are new to .NET, I recommend going through
all of the introductory materials that are available from
Autodesk's website, and elsewhere.

My fault for not being more specific.

The problem is that the entity I want to update has not been directly modified during the transaction (I guess). I'm talking of associative dimensions linked to a modified object. I have a modal dialog that controls the shape of a polyline; If I do UpdateScreen after some changes I get the polyline updated but not the associative dimensions. It's only upon dialog closing that the dimensions get updated. I want to avoid this behavior

Are you using a transaction, and if so, when it is being committed?

Yes, I am, and it is committed before I do UpdateScreen, that's why I get the polyline correctly updated from the dialog.

The problem you note has nothing to do with the form.

You can reproduce this bug with nothing more than
a simple command-line based command that modifies
an object associated with a dimension. Even in that
case, after ending the transaction the dimension does
not update. It doesn't update until the command handler
exits.

It's a bug as far as I'm concerned.
