oddbidmapping deepcloneobjects
oddbidmapping deepcloneobjects
hello,
while converting an arx program i have to call
oddbdatabase: eepcloneobjects.
this routine uses an oddbidmapping as argument. but this class is abstract!
do i have to create an oddbidmapping derived class?
do you have any hints?

in the dwgdirect header includes you'll find the necessary class in file:
dwgdirect\include\dbidmapping.h
then you should be able to use it in a similar way to arx.

thanks for your answer,
but finding the correct header is not my problem!
in arx i could use a local instance of acdbidmapping (created on the stack) and use this as argument in deepcloneobjects(...) which fills up the acdbidmapping object with the appropriate information.
if i try to do that in dwgdirect with oddbidmapping, my friendly compiler tries to convince me that this is no good idea, because oddbidmapping is abstract.
if you look at the class definition in dbidmapping.h you realize that all member functions are abstract.
so i believe that the usage of oddbidmapping in dwgdirect has to be different from the one of acdbidmapping in arx.
the fact that all member functions are abstract means that i have to create some oddbidmapping derived class for myself or that there must be some other 'creator' function in dwgdirect that produces me some reference to an oddbidmapping
object i can use.
i hope this is enough information about the problem now.
thanks again,

hello.
i also want deep-clone'ing functionarity.
but as you noticed, current situation tells that simply, it's not implemented yet, i think.
sorry, cannot advise for you...
thank you.

try to use
oddbidmappingptr pid = oddbidmapping::createobject();
deepcloneobjects() function is implemented.

hello sergey,
using oddbidmapping::createobject() was the solution. cloning works now without any problems.
thank you
