problem with creating a dimension in the attached dwg
problem with creating a dimension in the attached dwg
hi, i'm not sure how the attached dwg file was created, but there is an error when creating a dimension in it. we're using dwgdirect 1.12.4;
i use this code in odamfxapp:
code:
try {

oddbrotateddimensionptr pdim = oddbrotateddimension::createobject();
pdim->setxline1point(odgepoint3d(0,0,0));
pdim->setxline2point(odgepoint3d(10,0,0));
pdim->setdimlinepoint(odgepoint3d(5,3,0));

oddbblocktablerecordptr pblock = getdocument()->getmodelspaceid().safeopenobject(oddb::kforwrite);
pblock->appendoddbentity(pdim);

} catch(oderror& e) {
afxmessagebox(e.description());
} //catch
and it gives exception for duplicated record name, which is a block table record. it seems that there is an existing record and the new dimension tries to name its anonymous block as the existing record (i saw the new name is formed by using the number of the blocks).
can someone give me an information of how it is possible to create such a wrong file? it is not just an erasing of a block because it is still counted.
or, it is better to check for existing block with the newly formed name when creating a new dimension.
thanks in advance for any help.

i see no the attachement..
if the file contains a block with name like *d26 and creating a dimension by dwgdirect tries to make a block with the same name - it's dwgdirect problem. we'll try to fix it.
please attach or e-mail me the dwg file.
