ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument

In AutoCAD 2000-2002 I was refering to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
"ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument" entry for my objectdbx interface class
initialazation (AxDb15.dll).
However there is another one "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.1" I assume is same as
the first one.

We have now AutoCAD 2005 installed and I found "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.16"
new entry in my registry. I would like to just confurm that this class GUID
is for AxDb16.dll, fot AutoCAD 2005
I'm I right?

 

yes

 

As a temporary matter we've decide to leave AutoCAD 2000i version in
workstations before everyone will feel comfortable to switch completely to
AutoCAD 20005. So I'm testing our (my) program to work in both versions in a
single workstation.

Besides some necessary changed that I have to do and I did finish already
(our build-in house program works very well, so far). Although I did notice
one major problem...



I noticed that compiled menu and resource files (mnc & mnr) with 2000i
version are overwritten always with 2005 version whenever it runs (after
2000i), and changed menu and resource files become not readable with 2000i
version. After all AutoCAD does not load the menu at all. To do so I have to
delete them and load the menu manually. I can delete them programmatically,
before running the AutoCAD; this seams to me not a big problem. But, the
problem I see is that I don't want to "discover" AutoCAD 2005 changed daily
basic. I would think that Autodesk had already some reference manual for
AutoCAD programmers. The help menu for me was and is the main source for
daily lookups but I couldn't find, for instance, this portion of changes in
AutoCAD help menu; the menu compiler changes. And I worry that there are
many.



Is there any "official" publication from Autodesk about all kind of
changes/improvements in AutoCAD 2005, "in terms of programming interface"?
Including function changes, argument number or type changes, functions,
symbols, constants spellings etc. If there will be no such a reference then
any previous large application (like ours) may become a nightmare in terms
of debugging.



Thank you in advance...
