MgdDbg for BricsCAD

Is there a BricsCad version of MgdDbg available?
It is a database snooping tool originally built for AutoCAD and is similar to Inspector, but it is more database centered.
Is there a way to load the AutoCAD version into BricsCAD as an arx type command?

    yes, you will want these references for bcad:
    C:\Program Files\Bricsys\BricsCAD V19 en_US\BrxMgd.dll
    C:\Program Files\Bricsys\BricsCAD V20 en_US\TD_Mgd.dll

    Note that the pound is actually the "tic tac toe" character. (shift 3)
    I did that to prevent formatting that the forum does.
    Switch out for correct character.
    That needs to be fixed bricsys :)

    my usings look like this, based on if I have my ACAD or BCAD precompiler vars set in the project:
    pound if ACAD
    using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
    using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
    using AcAp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application;
    using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
    using AcEd = Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
    using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
    using AcDb = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
    using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;
    using AcGe = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;
    using AcCo = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors;
    using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows;
    using Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsInterface;
    pound endif
    pound if BCAD
    using Teigha.DatabaseServices;
    using AcDb = Teigha.DatabaseServices;
    using Bricscad.EditorInput;
    using AcEd = Bricscad.EditorInput;
    using Teigha.Geometry;
    using AcGe = Teigha.Geometry;
    using AcCo = Teigha.Colors;
    using Teigha.Runtime;
    using Teigha.GraphicsInterface;
    using Bricscad.Runtime;
    using Bricscad.ApplicationServices;
    using AcAp = Bricscad.ApplicationServices.Application;
    using Bricscad.Windows;
    pound endif

    That way, you write the same code for acad or bcad, as the aliases (aliai?) take care of pointing to the cad platform.
    Once you do that it all smoothes out, its beautiful.

    I'll check on the snooper, I use that too sometimes in acad.

    how to start it? RThere are no "snoop..." commands...

  • oh geeze, I misunderstood your post.
    I have the .net source on those so will see about compiling for bcad, should be fun.
