How get objectids from pasteclip ?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am trying to copy some objects with Xdata attached to it, from source  drawing to destination drawing.

I have an event handler in destination drawing  for pasteclip command. Now my question is when use finish the paste  , How to collect the objectids and do my process on them ?

Could an expert please help me in this regard ?

Appreciated any help.

Hi,

I would suggest the following process: track then command PASTECLIP begins, then monitor event Database.ObjectAppended for new new IDs, finally when command PASTECLIP ends, stop monitoring the append event.

Thank you sir for your concern and time. well honestly I am not very good at all those terminology you using. the way I am learning so far is change an existing code an play with it. Could you please give me a sample code. Really appreciated.

Best examples will be EventsWatcher from ObjectARX SDK samples and MgdDbg from Kean Walmsley blog:  http://through-the-interface.typepad.com
