Topic: Wipeout

[Bryco]

I've have been getting away with using the arx AsdkUnsupp2004.arx for adding wipeout to blocks in vba for years, but now it may never be updated for Acad 2007. I've downloaded the ObjectArx 2007 from acad then the free version of Visual Studio 2005 (the vb version) and the Arx wont start as I seem to need the full Monty Visual Studio. (Don't know for sure)
Question; Can I make an exe or dll from the 2005 to access wipeout in vba without making an arx?
If so what are a few good steps to follow.
Thanks in advance, Bryce

Bryco,

Is the ARX you're referring to, that won't start, this: AsdkUnsupp2004.arx
Also are you trying to start that in 2007.. cause if os, it needs to be recompiled for 2007......

Cheers,
Glenn.

So how would someone go about recompiling  AsdkUnsupp2004.arx for 2007 (I think I hear laughter) without the sourcs code.

[Glenn R]

Without the source code, you're up the proverbial creek in the proverbial barbwire canoe, without the proverbial paddle.
In my opion, Adesk have dropped the ball on this one, as people have been using it for years.
Because of this, they made it core, but neglected to provide any sort of API for it whatsoever.

Tx Glenn,  I am hoping something is available in Net, are you hinting that's it not available their either?

[Glenn R]

Not available anywhere as far as I can tell Bryce

Thanks for looking Luis, that was the registry fix for 2005 and 6, but now we need a new arx. I hope I can find something on net to do the same thing.

This is probably covered by a 'Non-Disclosure agreement' at this time

Hehe, does that mean if I really really promise not to tell anyone about it they'll slip me an API?.
On the wipeout issue, I think I've wasted a bit of time downloading the net stuff.
