; error : Automation Error. Method [GETOBJECTIDSTRING] not available

Dirk Van Thienen

Is Method [GETOBJECTIDSTRING] not implemented in BCAD ?

ty !

Torsten Moses

Dear Dirk,

indeed, that function is missing in our IAcadUtility interface ... I found these functions missing in that interface, actually :

SendModelessOperationStart, SendModelessOperationEnded, ObjectId32ToObjectIdString, GetObjectIdString

I will care to get them all implemented with V16 Release.

many greetings & many thanks !

Dirk Van Thienen

Ok great ! thank you very much Torsten !

Another question regarding fields in BricsCAD : Formula (w2u) in the field category Objects... is this supported yet ?

Torsten Moses

Dear Dirk,

actually, formulas are only supported for Table cells ... I compared with AutoCAD's COM interface, it is the same;
not sure if I properly understand what you mean with " field category Objects" ?

Btw., you may also use the string representation of IAcadHandle instead of string from ObjectId ?
(if that handle string is suitable, i.e. for fields)

many greetings !

Hello Thorsten,

see attached, this is the message a get in BCAD...

Dear Dirk,

I have never seen that "w2u" symbol/function in that context ... what shall that be, and where does it originate from ?
Do you have any hint about this ?
many greetings !

Dirk Van Thienen

hint : wcs 2 ucs

But "w2u" looks like client code, isn't it ?
If so, where is it defined ... ? It needs to be present of course ...
Does your sample mean, that field expression evaluation shall evaluate Lisp expressions ?
greetings !

Dirk Van Thienen

In the formula field you can use any function available for CAL function.

Dear Dirk,
reviewing the topic here, it seems better you would log the problem as support request;
especially as it is related to interface / API behaviour ...
Just to mention : CAL functionality is not available with BricsCAD ...
many greetings !
