{vb.net] eNoDatabase error

Peter White

Hi All,

I'm currently developing an app that is intended work within both BricsCad an AutoCAD. I have a sub-routine to add entities to the drawing which also sets the entity's layer. This subroutine works within AutoCAD but fails in BricsCAD with the following message...

Message: eNoDatabase
StackTrace: at Teigha.DatabaseServices.Entity.set_Layer(String val)

Does anyone know a solution or work-around for this?

Cheers,

Pete

Hello Peter,

Try calling setDatabaseDefaults on the entity, before setting the layer property

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it still didn't work. This is my code snippit for adding a line...

Dim startpoint as New CADGe.Point3d(p.USManhole.Easting, p.UsManhole.Northing, 0)
Dim endpoint as New CADGe.Point3d(p.DSManhole.Easting, p.DSManhole.Northing, 0)
Using line as New CADDb.Line(startpoint, endpoint)
    line.SetDatabaseDefaults()
    line.Color = ConverttoRGB(p.colour)
    line.layer = "MD_Pipes"
    AppendEntity(line)
End Using

As I said, this works in AutoCAD but not in BricsCAD. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Pete

interesting!

you might try setting the properties after append entity.

BTY, you might want to file a support request so the developers can take a look
