Acad 2008 dbview.arx
« on: October 31, 2007, 11:18:45 AM »
I have done some searching and I have yet to come up with a solution. For the life of me I can't find dbview.arx for AutoCAD 2008. I am writing a program that reads and writes custom dictionaries to the drawing database. I am looking for some kind of solution to just view them like in dbview. Anyone know of anything comparable

Tim;

As far as I know/think the 2007 binary might work on the 2008 - give it a try

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the info. Didn't think a 2007 binary would work with 2008 but once again I'm wrong.

Dear Readers,

Sorry, it is not good to rename dbview.arx .
Is there also an AutoCAD 2007 version of Arxdbg.arx

Arxdbg.arx can be built from the code in the SDK
..\ObjectARX 2008\samples\database\ARXDBG



kdub, kdub_nz in other timelines.

Dear Kerry,

To build it, is there a C++ compiler needed?

Regards Jan.

Kerry, if you have VS 2005 SP1, you may need to disable the manifest, or others may have troubles
