SetSystemVariable in remote drawing?

[Anonymous]

When working in the host drawing (the one that is open in CAD and visible) I use ApplicationServices.Application.SetSystemVariable.   What do i use (if it is even possible) to set variables in a drawing being accessed remotely via this method..

Using TargetDB As New Database(False, True)

 TargetDB.ReadDwgFile(Me.TabControl1.TabPages(DWGPath).Tag, System.IO.FileShare.Read, True, "")

 'set variable(s) here

 TargetDB.SaveAs(TargetDB.OriginalFileName, True, TargetDB.OriginalFileVersion, TargetDB.SecurityParameters)

End using

??

As you mentioned Application.SetSystemVariable will set "document level" variables for the current document.

For example:

Application.SetSystemVariable("CLAYER", "LayerName")(applies to current document)

You could also use HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase.Clayer = LayerName.ObjectId.

So if it is a "document level" variable it should be a property of the database.

In your example:

TargetDB.VariableName
