how to set dwgcodepage in new toolkit?
how to set dwgcodepage in new toolkit?
in the old toolkit i set the drawing codepage by setting the header variabel of the dwg file:
ad_dwghdr
*phdr;
:
phdr->dwgcodepage=mycodepage;
in the new toolkit i find:
ro_var_def(odcodepageid, dwgcodepage, (cp_ansi_1252), (cp_ansi_1252), (), (oda::kvalidate_none))
ro_ sounds like "read only" too me, but documentiation on such details is difficult to find.
can i replace the my old code with...
od_db_databaseptr pdb;
odcodepageid mycodepage;
pdb->setdwgcodepage(mycodepage);
...or does the ro_ indicate that it can only be read?
i see there is a odcodepageid oddbhostappservices::systemcodepage(), but i assume this is for telling what code page the running system is using? you can create new db's with codepages different from oddbhostappservices::systemcodepage()?

new drawings are created with codepage returned by oddbhostappservices::systemcodepage(). it's default implementation returns code page of system running on your computer. to create drawing with other code page you need to override this function.

for existing drawings: we frequently receive dwgs with wrong codepage setting. we fix that by changing the codepage and doing a regen. can we do that in the new toolkit by...
pdb->setdwgcodepage(mycodepage);
...and then regen the drawing?

dwgcodepage is read only variable. altering drawing's code page requires translating strings in database (symbol table record names, texts etc.)
