can autocad handle with custom objects created by directdwg
can autocad handle with custom obj. without additional libraries?
supposed i've created in my application custom objects or entities and then wrote out a dxf or dwg file that contains these objects. can an another user, who has on his pc only autocad installed and has no additional libraries at all, open and work with this file without any problem?
thanks

an autocad user will be able to open and work with the file, but by default, autocad will treat your custom objects as proxies (at most you will see the proxy graphics displayed). if you want additional support within autocad for these entities, you will need to create an objectarx application equivalent to the dwgdirect application that you used to originally create the custom objects.

thank you very much, neil.
