DWGTITLED in .NET

How do i find out if the dwg has been saved from .NET?
I can't find the variable DWGTITLED.

Any tips??

Check the FullName property or try GetVariable.

 

Do you mean FileName?

FileName doesn't do it.
It contains the name of the dwt-file before it has been saved.

Where do i find GetVariable?
I cannot find it on database.

FileName doesn't do it.

Then that can be your test. If it is the dwt name then obviously it hasn't
been saved yet.

But I can work in an dwt. (not likely, but i can)

I just want to get the value from the dwgtitled variable.
It keeps all the info i need.

How do i get the value in a setvar from .net?
(getvar "dwgtitled") in lisp.

 

DWGTITLED indicates if a new drawing was saved. Testing
the filename doesn't work because a user can open a .DWT.

He can get the Document object and from it, get the
AcadDocument ActiveX object, and then use the GetVariable
method.

The managed wrapper API for AutoCAD is a work in progress,
not done, and using it without the ActiveX API is unrealistic.

FWIW, in ObjectARX, this requires accessing the MFC
CDocument object for the open document, so there is
likely no equivalent in the managed API.

 

Well assuming you are using the COM interop, its just
ActveDocument.GetVariable("Whatever_variable_name_you_type_here"). If that
doesn't make sense, look in the help file.

So what you are saying is that there a no straight forward .NET method to
get that variable, or any other variable.
But i has to go through Active X.

Have i understod you right?

That is correct.

Frankly, ActiveX is far more reliable than the managed API to begin with.

Even with its superior access, I've all but given up on the managed API.

 

In AutoCAD 2005 the .NET API won't do everything you need and you will have
to use the COM API. Hopefully, we can change your mind in couple of
releases.
