object arx modify

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Nov 2004 13:08:09 GMT

Hi,
idon't know anything about object arx but i was wondering if anybody could help me on a few things.
1. how do you learn about arx? is there a program you can get to write them?
2. i recently purchased a small program that come with and .arx file that links to autocad 2000. you call the program via OT command.
this does't work with my current autocad 2005. iwas wondering if this file can be modified to work with the new 2005?
i had contacted the software supplier and they said it could be done but they will not be doing it themselves for the near future. can anybody help me??

thanks,

n.s.

First you need good knowlage of C++, you need also VC++ 7.0 (Visual Studio 2002) and ObjectARX SDK from Autodesk (free to DL from Autocesk site). With SDK you bekome too whole dokumentation with a small training for beginners. Then you could get some books about ObjectARX. I personally have none but ... :). Second for work with Autocad ARX must bee compiled with appropriate version of libs (ObjectARX SDK and MFC). For Autocad 2000, 2000i it was VC 6 libs and SDK 2000, for Autocad 2004 and 2005 VC 7.0 (not 7.1 - is inkompatible) and appropriate version of SDK. In your case you need too the source code of your app. If you dont have it, you cant do anything. Regards.

what do you mean source code and where would it be found

I think he means the source code from the vendor you mentioned, unlikely, but you can still ask. Or you could outline what the program does and, also unlikely, maybe someone here will help you out.

i have posted the program. its a shareware so its freely downloadable. i have purchased the registration but it all works the same.
the program types letting into your cad program as polylines. ( you will see when you try the software ).
there are 2 arx files. r14 and 2000 but really looking for it to work on 2005.

That is a shareware, but its not a source code for that app. And i dont think you will ever become the source. So you can try to force the software vendor to recompile it for Autocad 2004 2005 or search for other soft.
