pdb->dimblk
pdb->dimblk
greetings from greece everybody,
if anyone can point out how can i use the pdb->setdimblk() database variable.
i'm not quite clear how to use oddbhardpointerid which is the parameter this function handles.
please show me how to set it to "_dot" for example.
i appreciate any help you can give me.

to obtain objectid, you should use function oddmutil::getarrowid(), declared in file dbdimstyletablerecord.h (namespace oddmutil).
sincerely yours,

george i really want to thank you for replying to my message.
however i don't see how this can help me since i'm writing a program that exports dwg files .i don't want to read anything i want to set the default dimblk property using pdb->setdimblk() so that any dimensions i export after that will have this arrow.
thanks again and i hope you can give some hint on the subject.

use pdb->setdimblk(oddmutil::getarrowid("_dot", pdb));

this string doesn't read anything (function getarrowid returns id of block "_dot", creating it if it doesn't exist). this string sets default dimblk property using pdb->setdimblk() so that any dimensions you export after that will have this arrow.

my humble apology george.
it's obvious i did not understand your answer the first time.
you are absolutely right. this worked like a charm.
i really needed this. i've finished a whole export dwg project for
my company and this was the only thing missing (imagine that!).
thanks a million
