oddbbasedatabase
oddbbasedatabase
2.5.1 has introduced the concept of oddbbasedatabase (or maybe 2.5.0 did, i never used it).
what is the relationship between oddbbasedatabase and oddbdatabase?
can one be safely cast to the other?
if not, gicontext returns oddbbasedatabase. is there a way to get oddbdatabase similarly inside the vectorization context?
unfortunately the c++ documentation is sadly lacking in an explanation of oddbbasedatabase and the only time it is mentioned in the samples (in odamfcapp) it is merely used as a formal argument to findfile and that parameter always defaults in use, so that is not very enlightening.
thanks.

this is a common base of dgn and dwg databases.
if you know that you are dealing with dwg, you may blind-cast it to oddbdatabase. if not - use runtime cast (like oddbdatabase::cast() )

what is the possibility of a small mfc application showing how the dwg and dgn libraries are supposed to compile together? as you will see from my dedicated thread in the dgndirect support area i am having many problems getting the basic host/app services of both clients compiling. the is probably because i don't fully understand how to use the two systems together.
i'll redirect your question to the right person.
