Accessing ABS and AEC specific entries in preferences object (ABS 2007.1)

[Anonymous]

Using the following I can access the standard AutoCAD preferences entries:
Dim acadPref as AcadPreferences
Set acadPref = ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences

But the entries listed on the ABS and AEC specific tabs of the options window do not appear to be available here. Are they located in a different object/location?

How do I, for example, set the "Detail component databases" paths as found in the Options window/AEC Content tab ?

There are some registry keys under HKEY_CU/.../AEC/5.0/ but I assume there is a method of updating these preferences settings from within AutoCAD - transferring the .arg profile to another system didnt export the ABS/AEC values.

Mart,

I believe you are looking in the wrong place for this.

You should have a look at the "AecBaseDatabasePreferences" object, try looking in the help guide under the AECBaseAutomationReference.
