Hi,

I would suggest the following process: track then command PASTECLIP begins, then monitor event Database.ObjectAppended for new new IDs, finally when command PASTECLIP ends, stop monitoring the append event.

Cheers,

Best examples will be EventsWatcher from ObjectARX SDK samples and MgdDbg from Kean Walmsley blog: http://through-the-interface.typepad.com
