It is look like value of dimension is very small. So dimension can not be drawn as you expected.

But by using Line command it is still appearing . What difference between my method ??

In your code both the values of s and the length of mMajorAxis depend on VIEWSIZE. So the length of the vector s*mMajorAxis.perpVector() is roughly (VIEWSIZE*VIEWSIZE) which becomes small very fast if you zoom in.  Try s*(mMajorAxis.perpVector().normalize()) instead.

I got another error here when wrapper is created :

[tbrammer]

What kind of error? Compiler error? Does it complain about the red underlined symbols? Looks like you need to include some more headers.
For a COM wrapper sample have a look at <ARX>\samples\com\AsdkSquareWrapper_dg.

**ObjectARX**

How to Print ObjectID into Command Line?

Can I access Microsoft Excell by using Command in AutoCad??

[tbrammer · Accepted solution]

I would recomment to print the AutoCAD handle instead of the ObjectID. This is the easiest way:

acutPrintf(L"Handle=%s", AcString(objectId.handle()).constPtr());

The AutoCAD LIST command also shows the handle of entities, so it is easy for you to identify objects.

Bear in mind that the handle is

• persistent: If you save and reload the DWG, the handlestring remains unchanged.
• only unique within one AcDbDatabase.

Regarding Excel: This should be possible with class AcDbDataLink / class AcDbDataLinkManager / class AcDbLinkedTableData  or through COM. Have a look at this older .NET sample.

**I might as well need more an example for accessing Excel with ObjectARX**
