Hi,
I am trying to write some code that will automatically modify a field in an object data table whenever a new object is created from an existing one (for example, with the COPY command).
I have tried writing code in the AcadDocument_ObjectAdded event but every time I attempt to modify the object data attached to the added object, the AttachTo method fails. I know the ObjectAdded event can be triggered many times when new objects are created in Autodesk Map and I have checked the TypeName of Object to ensure that I only attempt to modify object data when the object is of type IAcadObject, however this has not worked either.
I would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions on how I might overcome this problem.
I realise this question is not strictly an Autodesk Map question but I figured object data was only available in Autodesk Map so I would post it to this newsgroup.
TIA,
Scott
