Title: Current tool to display the ACAD-database?
Post by: Peter2 on March 01, 2014, 03:23:10 AM

Some years ago there were "dbview.arx" to display the entire structure of the current ACAD-database; later there where the (pilot?)-tools "Inspector" and "ArxDbg" and "MgdDbg" http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2010/02/the-stephen-and-fenton-show-adn-devcast-episode-1.html?cid=6a00d83452464869e201310fc4ca6c970c#comment-6a00d83452464869e201310fc4ca6c970c

Which tools can be recommended for the current software (x64, Acad 2013 / 2014 (2015))?

Thanks and have a fine weekend

Well, that same page lists at least 2 other tools. MgdDbg (doing something similar through DotNet) and Inspector (including C++ source code). If you're a member of ADN you can even get the MgdDbg source to compile, or you can get it here: http://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2012/04/dwg-debugger-mgddbg-app-for-autocad-20122013.html

Or you can also use the Reflector through DotNet: http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2007/01/reflecting_on_a.html and http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2007/02/using_net_refle_1.html and even extend it's capabilities if you so wish.

Hi

who knows about the current state of these tools? Are the working on release 2015 / 2016, or is there a new one or a similar one? Googles newest results are from year 2013.

Thanks

The current download of ArxDbg on my blog (http://otb.manusoft.com/2009/09/arxdbg-utility.htm) supports 2015/2016.

Thanks - I got it.

(Maybe it would be good refresh the date on the website so Google will present it with the current date?)
