how to get the objectid with the entityname?
how to get the objectid with the entityname?
is there any function that similar to "acdbgetobjectid"?
but what is entityname (ads_name) in dd environment?
if you mean handle, where is oddbdatabase::getoddbobjectid()
and if you have pointer to object you can use oddbobject:bjectid()

i'm a freshman in opendwg, and i think it's different with objectarx.
there isn't entityname(ads_name) in the dd envirement, right?
in dwgdirect environment an entity (object) can be identified by:
- handle (which is unique in single database and is preserved while loading/saving database to file). different databases can have different objects with the same handle.
- object id. it's unique for all objects from all databases. exists at run-time only for database-resident objects. while saving to file object ids are converted to handles.
- pointer to object. can be used to call object's functions. can be obtained from object id by oddbobjectid:penobject() function.
the pointer can point to both database-resident and non-database-resident objects.
