Proxy entity geometry?

Anonymous — Wed, 20 Apr 2005 08:13:37 GMT

I need to get the geometric data of the ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY for exporting purposes (of course without the presence of the proxy parent application). Is there any ObjectARX or ads api to get such information?

In ARX you can get an AcDbProxyEntity
There you have the member getGeomExtens, and you can explode it (if it is
allowed)

getGeomExtents:
This function fills in extents with the approximate extents of the proxy. If
the proxy has graphics saved, then these are used to calculate the extents.
If only a bounding box is available, then the extents are those of the
bounding box.

explode:
This function creates copies of all the graphics metafile primitives stored
in the proxy and append the pointers to these new entity objects to the
entitySet array.
Returns Acad::eOk if successful, otherwise returns
Acad::eCannotExplodeEntity.

It is possible, see the solution in:

[Arx path]\samples\database\ARXDBG\Inc\ArxDbgWorldDraw.h
[Arx path]\samples\database\ARXDBG\Tests\ArxDbgWorldDraw.cpp

[Arx path]\samples\database\ARXDBG\Inc\ArxDbgViewportDraw.h
[Arx path]\samples\database\ARXDBG\Tests\ArxDbgViewportDraw.cpp

thanks a lot!
I hope exploding you mentioned will not change the object (drawing) itself.
