"AcRxClassName" entry is not in the System Registry.

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2006 16:56:24 GMT

I'm getting this error in the AddObject method (for Dictionaries).

The "AcRxClassName" String that I'm using in the method,
is not custom,
and is derived from an actual AecObject in the dwg:
(via .ObjectName from a similar Extension Dictionary)

"AecDbDispPropsWallSchem"

so,
why am I getting this error?

Thanks...

I have the same problem trying to add a table Object to the TableStyle
Dictionary, I supose this
problem has something to do with a prior instalation of AutoCAD 2007 Beta.

I uninstalled the Beta Program and now I have this issue, hope not to have
to reinstall the program

I *do* still have '06 installed.
Could that be the problem?

Actually i'm using '06 and uninstalled and not using '07

Maybe reinstalling should do the trick

The AcRxClassName and the associated CLSID must be in
the registry at the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\ObjectDBX\R16.2\ActiveXCLSID

(note the 'R16.2' is for 2006 only).

Hi Tony.

Thanks for the hint.

So,
If an extension dictionary has an Object that is not in this registry
listing,
how does it exist?

In my case, where I'm attempting to create an extension dictionary Object
for an AEC Style ('A') that is identical in structure to another Style ('B')
that has the dictionary; how can I accomplish this?

Can I create the extension dictionary Object as a generic 'AcDbDictionary',
and then try and use the Replace method, using Style 'B' Extension
Dictionary Object as the "newCustomObject"?

dictObj.Replace keyName, newCustomObject

or do I need to 'LoadARX' a file somewhere?
How to determine which one?

any further direction that you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Take Care,
Corey

Ok, that works...

no need to use the AddObject method first.

Just use the Replace method,
and it *creates* the Object ,
if it doesn't exist in the Dictionary yet...

The registry entry only tells AutoCAD what COM object is
associated with the given ObjectARX class or object type.

It is so that you can create an instance of a given object
type along with its COM wrapper, by specifying only the
ARX class name.

Custom objects and some built-in ones like AcadDictionary
do not require an entry in this registry location to exist
in a drawing, the registry entries only to permit AutoCAD to
create them and their COM wrappers in one swell foop.

You are a star,

I have a coordinates table creator lisp that Ive been using since AutoCAd 2012, Now on 2022 is working but on 2021 stopped with this error, First time ever I experienced this issue.

Saving the Registry key from the 24.1 and just renaming the path to 24.0 or 23.1 or 23.0 sorted it instantly,

I wonder why Active XCLSID was missing at all for the previous versions??

I just want to add my results.

For some reason in one of our user's installation (2023), this entire registry entry was missing

I just recreated it using info from another install. This fixed my automation error.
