xdata on block definitions

[Anonymous]

Hi folks,

I'm fairly new at .NET. 

I'm trying to attach xdata to a block definition. Is this possible, or can it only be attached to block references?

I have the block table reference for the block in the db, but can't figure out how to get an entity objectID from it, which is what the xdata routines that I'm working with requires. 

Thanks

BlockTableRecord.ObjectId

BlockRef.BlockTableRecord is the objectid.

Yes you can attach Xdata to a Block Definition (BlockTableRecord), but if it is part of your plan, your code will have to copy the Xdata from the BTR to the Bref when created.  It will not automatically propagate to the Refs.

Thanks for the replies.  I apparently was misinterpreting the error I was getting, the problem must be elsewhere in the code. 

Thanks also for the info on the xdata not automatically following insertions.  That would have caught me when I got there.
