If you wonder how to use together AutoCAD and Advance Steel API, you might find useful the new walthrough:

In the Code Region "Selecting a beam" there is a problem. I can't convert Intptr(id.OldIdPtr) to AcDbObjectId*. How can I fix it?

ASObjectId idDbObject = DatabaseManager.GetFilerObjectId(new ASObjectId(id.OldIdPtr), false);

[ChristianBlei]

Hello,

what about

Dim tObJId As New DatabaseServices.ObjectId(id.OldIdPtr)?

BR,

Hello, 

this is the metadata for CadLink.DataBase.ObjectId

Namespace Autodesk.AdvanceSteel.CADLink.Database
Public Class ObjectId
Implements IDisposable

Public Sub New(other As ObjectId)

Public Shared ReadOnly Property kNull As ObjectId

Public NotOverridable Overrides Sub Dispose()
Protected Overridable Sub Dispose(A_0 As Boolean)

Public Function AsOldId() As IntPtr
Public Overridable Function Equals(obj As ObjectId) As Boolean
Public Function IsNull() As Boolean

Public Shared Operator =(obj1 As ObjectId, obj2 As ObjectId) As Boolean
End Class
End Namespace

The argument in New(other As ObjectId ) does not make sense to me- it is creating a circular definition.

Sub New should take a System.IntPtr as argument.

Function .AsOldId is returning a System.IntPtr !!!!!!!

Hello,

You can use the AcObjId.Handle.ToString to access the filerobject

Dim tHandle As String = tAcObjId.Handle.ToString()
Dim tObj As FilerObject = FilerObject.GetFilerObjectByHandle(tHandle)

BR,

[ChristianBlei]

Hello,

Sorry.

I checked

Dim tObjId as Autodesk.Autocad.Databaseservices.ObjectId= nothing

.......

Dim tHandle As String = tObjId.Handle.ToString()                                          

Dim tObj As FilerObject = FilerObject.GetFilerObjectByHandle(tHandle)

The filermethod .GetFilerObjectByHandle throws an exception.

I am curious what the Advance API developers will comment.

BR,

Hello,

I did some tests. The AutoCad Entity and the advance object have sequencing handles (or ObjIds). The question is, where is the connecting property.........

The problem with Advance Steel ObjectId not accepting a constructor argument of type IntPtr probably comes from the fact that you are not using Advance Steel 2016 R2 API.

[ChristianBlei]

Hello Cosmin,

I will immediately install the AS2016 R2.....

and the update did it.

BR,

Christian

Thanks @ChristianBlei and @manolic for your support.
I have the AS2016 Hotfix 1, but I didn't see AS2016 R2 in Application Manager.
Can somebody send me a link for download?

[phliberato]

I did the update! Thank you!

[ChristianBlei]

You will find the update in your account. There are two updates to download, one about 500MB, the other about 7MB.
