Topic: Public wrapping for 'Internal' SDK namespaces

[kdub_nz]

Does anyone have any wishlists for making Classes/Methods  that are currently in 'Internal' namespaces public and officially fit for consumption. ??

Any requests will be passed on, but no promises regarding action.

One for the list:

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.AcAeUtilities.GetBlockName() (thanks, Alexander Rivilis!)

I have avoided using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal as much as possible since you never know if it will still be available in future updates, but there are situations where there are no alternatives, such as the case of AcAeUtilities.IsInBlockEditor() and AcAeUtilities.GetBlockName().
What I have seen most used:
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.EntLast()
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.WcMatch(string, string)
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.SetFocusToDwgView()
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.PostCommandPrompt()
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.GetBlockImage()
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.VpMaxCommand()
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.AcAeUtilities.IsInBlockEditor()
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.AcAeUtilities.GetBlockName()

Those are good ones.

Don't recall when, but sometime after Core Console was introduced, I know that Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.WcMatch() was moved to Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.CoreUtils.WcMatch().

Autodesk also deprecated Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.GetAcadResourceIcon(), when they should have enhanced it - originally it searched Acad CUI for resource icons only, and completely ignored vertical-specific icons, so I ended up having to write an extension method that iterates whatever Main & Enterprise CUI were, but don't think I ever finished it to also iterate any attached partials - would love it if Autodesk would do so in ARX.

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.ObjectContexts : for adding Annotative scale to Objects
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.RegenEntity()
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.GetCommandAtLevelForDocument() : useful when creating a Transparent command, can notify user it must be called from within a running command.
