Title: Access Civil 3D application database through ODBX
Post by: alanjt on June 08, 2017, 10:02:15 AM

In Civil 3D, is it possible to access the AeccXUiLand.AeccApplication interface with ODBX?

That would be cool. What things are you thinking about doing with it?

Using the .NET API you can interact with C3D objects in a different database. I was never able to do the same using the COM API. However, even though you CAN do it, doesn't mean it's always a good idea. :-) More specifically, editing a C3D dwg while it is not open in the Editor, and subsequently saving the dwg, often leads to unwanted results when you have Line/Curve Tags and Tables....the tags will get wiped out, almost every time, especially if they are labeling Xref and/or Dref objects.
