loading an xref into the current drawing
loading an xref into the current drawing
hi everyone,
is there an example into the documentation showing how to load and display an xref into the drawing ?
could anyone post a sample piece of code ?
i see there is something related to xref into the odamfc app, but i can't understand how to use it... :-s
thank you very much
carlo.
see xrefman.h (oddbxrefman::load() )
if you vectorize the drawing xrefs will be loaded automatically - you need not call load() manually.

thank you very much sergey,
but perhaps i used a wrong word to explain my problem...
i need the method to add a new xref to a database and to delete an existing xref from a database...
sorry for the misunderstanding
carlo.
see odwriteex sample. dbfiller.cpp
dbfiller::addxref() function.
to delete an xref you need call erase() for its blocktablerecord (and for its block references surely).

thanks for the answer
just another question :
the path of the xref is an absolute path ?
if i move both the dwg and the xref file to another location, the referenced dwg is still found ?
is it possible to save a relative path ?
(relative to the path of the dwg loading the xref i mean...)
thanks again !

the xref file path can be absolute or relative.
to locate the xref dwgdirect calls oddbhostappservices::findfile() (note, the help is not absolutely correct. where is default implementation which behavior is described in the help).
findfile() can be overloaded in client services class.
even if the path specified is absolute after trying absolute path dd will try to locate the file in drawing's folder.
