Porting an SDS application to V8

I have an SDS application that I would like to port to V8 as it is, i.e. I don’t need any ARX function. Is it possible? If so, could you please send me some guidelines on how to do it? I’m asking this because I saw that in V8 API\Sds subfolder there seems to be an UNICODE version of the SDS library.Thanks in advance.

  • Yes it is possible, but it’s a little work. You need VS2005 (not express) . You will need to download the DRX SDK 2.05 from http://www.opendwg.org/download/. You will need to set paths to the DRX libraries and includes in your project. Then have a look at the ..\SDS\SDSMigrate\readme.txt to see how the entry point has changed and other info. You should also have a good look at the sample solution. Yes you are correct in that you will be working with Unicode, so you will need to change all your char types and corresponding functions to use wchar_t or TCHAR, (I prefer the latter ) , I think that’s it.
