Are Entity.ObjectId.Handle and Entity.Handle always the same?

Are Entity.ObjectId.Handle and Entity.Handle always the same, for the same entity?

I would believe so, but is there any official documentation on this?

[Jeff_M]

From the ObjectArx documentation (you should get it) for the ObjectId structure:

 Handle: Accesses the handle of the object associated with the object ID.

@Jeff_M ,

"Accesses the handle of the object associated with the object ID", this is not the same as "handle of the object is the same as ObjectID.Handle", right?

[Jeff_M · Accepted solution]

Yes, they are identical.

object.Handle = "HC14"

object.ObjectId = 2433879235008

object.ObjectId.Handle = "HC14"

These HANDLEs will ALWAYS be the same, for the life of an object, whereas the ObjectId varies every time the drawing is opened.
