I'm developing a tool that can exact title & parts list information from a drawing and edit them
What I did is open those drawings one by one, access the object from Thisdrawing object, it works, but very slow, especially you want to exact like 20+ drawings.
Recently I found a very good thing, that is ObjectDBX, it can get information from and edit drawing without open it. I update my code, it works perfectly except the parts list.
In my situation, all parts list are stored in AutoCAD built-in BOM, can access form IMcadPartList object in paper space (thisdrawing.paperspace(INDEX_OF_PARTLIST).itemList)
But this seems not available in oDBX document, it's undefined.
Example:
' I don't open CAD now, pseudo code below
dim sampleFilePath as string
dim dbx as axdbdocument
dim doc as acaddocument
dim partListRefIndex as integer
sampleFilePath = "somewhere/sample.dwg"
set dbx = new axdbdocument
set doc = thisDrawing
' Let's point both version to the same file
doc.open(sampleFilePath, READ_ONLY)
dbx.open(sampleFilePath)
partListRefIndex = GetPartListRefIndex(doc)
doc.paperspace(partListRefIndex) ' It's an Object/IMcadPartList
dbx.paperspace(partListRefIndex) ' It's an Object/IMcadPartList too
doc.paperspace(partListRefIndex).itemlist ' Variant/Object/IMcadBOMItems
dbx.paperspace(partListRefIndex).itemlist ' Error
Please help, is there any way to access the McadBOMItems in oDBX document?
