AeccParcel Explode

[Alexey.Terno]

How can I explode an AeccParcel object?

[hippe013]

Parcels can be exploded with the explode command.

Usually it is, but in this case there is no such command:

I guess I'm a bit confused. Are you saying you don't have the explode command?

I just now saw your image. I see now. Stand by.

A base type of the Parcel is Entity which contains the explode method. Consider the following example. 

<CommandMethod("TestExplode")> _
        Public Sub TestExplode()
            Dim aDoc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
            Dim ed As Editor = aDoc.Editor
            Dim db As Database = aDoc.Database
            Dim opts As New PromptEntityOptions(vbCrLf + "Select Parcel")
            Dim res As PromptEntityResult = ed.GetEntity(opts)
            If res.Status = PromptStatus.OK Then
                Dim dbObjCol As New DBObjectCollection
                Dim BlkTbl As BlockTable
                Dim BlkTblRec As BlockTableRecord
                Using trans As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction
                    Dim ent As Entity = trans.GetObject(res.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite)
                    BlkTbl = trans.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead)
                    BlkTblRec = trans.GetObject(BlkTbl(BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace), OpenMode.ForWrite)
                    ent.Explode(dbObjCol)
                    For Each XEnt As Entity In dbObjCol
                        BlkTblRec.AppendEntity(XEnt)
                        trans.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(XEnt, True)
                    Next
                    trans.Commit()
                End Using
            End If
        End Sub

"Entity " is a .NET class and "AeccParcel" is COM object but I can convert old id to ObjectId:

ObjectId id = new ObjectId((IntPtr)parcel.ObjectID);
Db.Parcel p = (Db.Parcel)_trans.GetObject(id, OpenMode.ForWrite);
DBObjectCollection objs = new DBObjectCollection();
p.Explode(objs);

Thanks for the advice!

Thank you for your input on the converting from COM.
