AutoLoader for MgdDbg

Re : ADN DWG Debugger and DataBase Viewer - MGDDBG
http://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2012/04/dwg-debugger-mgddbg-app-for-autocad-20122013.html

I wanted to change the functionality to Demand load rather than than StartUp load
ie : use LoadOnCommandInvocation
The attached PackageContents.xml is my revised file.

Here's the Quandry : The LocalNames in the Source are SnoopDb and SnoopEd.
They wouldn't work so I used the Global Names MgdDbgSnoopDb and MgdDbgSnoopEd as the LocalName.

The Assembly demand loads and runs sucessfully using the GlobalName at the CommandLine.

Lines 35 to 51 have been added and I've left the 2013 listing so the Assembly loads at startup.

Any ideas why the LocalName is not being recognised ??

I can't remeber all them but in
MgdDbg.Snoop.CollectorExts
 
 
 
                 else if ((typeCode >= 90) && (typeCode <= 99)) {
                    dxfCodeStr = string.Format("{0:d}    (long)", typeCode);
Line 482         data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Int(dxfCodeStr, (int)(long)tmpVal.Value));
 
 
The (long) cast needs to be removed.
 
There was something with mleaders where values were null and throwing a exception and will try to find it.
I think a couple more but a very useful tool.

I second Jeff, I just found this today while playing with MLeaders.  I get and eInvlaidContext exception anytime I try to snoop a MLeader object.

I will look back in 2012 version and see what I did to get it working.
**************Edit*********************
In MgdDbg.Snoop.CollectorExts.Entity starting at line 892

  33.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Point3d("Tolerance location", mleader.ToleranceLocation));
  34.  

Need to add logic to check if it contains a Block or Mtext so it errors out at 897 if it contains Mtext since BlockPosition is not valid and if it contains a Block then it errors out on some the Mtext porperties

Colour me embarrased  :oops:

I should have had a closer look at the source code.

Here's a typical example of the CommandMethodAttribute constructor used.

 
Code - C#: [Select]
  1.  
  2.         //[CommandMethod("MgdDbg", "MgdDbgSnoopDb", "SnoopDb", CommandFlags.Modal)]
  3.         [CommandMethod("MgdDbgSnoopDb", CommandFlags.Modal)]
  4.  
  5.         public void
  6.         SnoopDatabase()
  7.         {
  8.             Database db = AcadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;
  9.  
  10.             using (TransactionHelper trHlp = new TransactionHelper(db)) {
  11.                 trHlp.Start();
  12.  
  13.                 Snoop.Forms.Database dbox = new Snoop.Forms.Database(db, trHlp);
  14.                 dbox.Text = db.Filename;
  15.                 AcadApp.ShowModalDialog(dbox);
  16.  
  17.                 trHlp.Commit();
  18.             }
  19.         }

You'll notice that the full constructor has been commented out and a light constructor used.

ie in place of
Code - C#: [Select]
  1. public CommandMethodAttribute(
  2.     string groupName, 
  3.     string globalName, 
  4.     string localizedNameId, 
  5.     CommandFlags flags
  6. );

this was used
Code - C#: [Select]
  1. public CommandMethodAttribute(
  2.     string globalName, 
  3.     CommandFlags flags
  4. );

Silly me ...
In the XML I've declared the Global name and the Local name which aren't defined in the code, so they can't be used.
... only the Global Name is used .
I've left the redundant expressions in the XML for the time being.

... at least that's the way I read the situation.


This is the  PackageContents.xml  I'm using

You probably have figured it out but here is the quick fix for mleaders with mgddbg
In the Snoop-> CollectorExts folder inside Entity class
Just added some if statements to check ContentType
starting at line 887
Code - C#: [Select]
  1.  
  2.          private void
  3.         Stream(ArrayList data, MLeader mleader)
  4.         {
  5.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.ClassSeparator(typeof(MLeader)));
  6.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Double("Arrow size", mleader.ArrowSize));
  7.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.ObjectId("Arrow symbol Id", mleader.ArrowSymbolId));
  8.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Object("Block color", mleader.BlockColor));
  9.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.String("Block connection type", mleader.BlockConnectionType.ToString()));
  10.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.ObjectId("Block content Id", mleader.BlockContentId));
  11.             if (mleader.ContentType == ContentType.BlockContent)
  12.             {
  13.                 data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Point3d("Block position", mleader.BlockPosition));
  14.                 data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Double("Block rotation", mleader.BlockRotation));
  15.             }        
  16.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Scale3d("Block scale", mleader.BlockScale));
  17.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.String("Content type", mleader.ContentType.ToString()));
  18.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Double("Dogleg length", mleader.DoglegLength));
  19.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Bool("Enable annotation scale", mleader.EnableAnnotationScale));
  20.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Bool("Enable dogleg", mleader.EnableDogleg));
  21.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Bool("Enable frame text", mleader.EnableFrameText));
  22.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Bool("Enable landing", mleader.EnableLanding));
  23.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Double("Landing gap", mleader.LandingGap));
  24.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Int("Leader count", mleader.LeaderCount));
  25.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Object("Leader line color", mleader.LeaderLineColor));
  26.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Int("Leader line count", mleader.LeaderLineCount));
  27.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.String("Leader line type", mleader.LeaderLineType.ToString()));
  28.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.ObjectId("Leader line type Id", mleader.LeaderLineTypeId));
  29.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.String("Leader line weight", mleader.LeaderLineWeight.ToString()));
  30.             data.Add(new Snoop.Data.ObjectId("MLeader style", mleader.MLeaderStyle));
  31.             if (mleader.ContentType == ContentType.MTextContent)
  32.             {
  33.                 data.Add(new Snoop.Data.Object("MText", mleader.MText));

  45.             if (mleader.ContentType == ContentType.MTextContent)

Thanks Jeff,
I'll have a play over the weekend.

Perhaps one of the ADN Dev peeps will grab it and update the download source :)

You're welcome.

In the 'early days' the source for this was a BIG help in grocking the API.
We have Jim Awe at AutoDesk to thank really ... thanks Jim :)
