Title: Can using objectDBX corrupt a drawing at all?
Post by: ArgV on February 09, 2010, 10:27:22 AM

This might be a dumb question, but I'm just wondering before I make a utility to search through our very important drawings with objectDBX, whether there is any way that using ODBX can corrupt, or otherwise ruin a drawing.

thanks!

Anything can corrupt a drawing, so just using ObjectDBX is no more worry than using code in the current drawing that is open.  If you are just searching for stuff, and not saving, then I see no problem at all.

Hope not! (http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=29124.0)  :-P

But on a more serious note - there are a few known bugs - like losing the thumbnail when saving, attributes shifting position when editing them - but gathering information without saving doesn't affect it I believe.

Ok, thank you. good to know. Right now I'm not saving anything, but probably will in the future, and will keep these things in mind. (thanks T. Willey as well)
