exception thrown in oddbblocktablerecord::setname()
exception thrown in oddbblocktablerecord::setname()
i'm running dd2.0.1 and i think i've found a problem related to block names. i'm using the c++ odwriteex example and i have added a call to the existing (but not used) dbfiller::addblock() member function inside dbfiller::filldatabase(). when addblock() tries to set the name of the block, an "illegal block name" exception is thrown.
anyone else seeing this or can verify that it'll be fixed soon?

curently "addblockdef" is used instead of the "addblock".
what name did you try to set to the block?

vladimir,
i was using "*d0", then "*mcam-d0". i removed the '*' and used only "mcam-d0" and that worked.
i got an email from neil p and he said that names starting with '*' are reserved for special use in autocad.
