acedCmd with Civil 3D 2017
« on: April 11, 2017, 04:06:40 PM »
Hi,

I have this in my coding for Civil 3D 2014 and it's working fine :

Code - C#: [Select]
  1. [DllImport("accore.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
  2. extern static int acedCmd(IntPtr resbuf);

With Civil 3D 2017 it's doesn't work, it says acedCmd is not found in accore.dll

I'm using VS 2010, .NET Framework 4.0 for Civil 3D 2014 and VS 2012, .NET Framework 4.5 for Civil 3D 2017.

Reference the ObjectARX 2017 libraries.

Hi,

Since A2015, you have to use the managed Editor.Command (or Editor.CommandAsync()) method.

You can see this topic and this one.

gile, I know that the acedCmd was supposed to be removed, but we still have code using it which works fine in 2015-2018 versions.

Thanks for your reply.

Jeff_M : I have change for ObjectARX 2017 but it still doesn't work.  No error message but it just do nothing. 

gile : I have tried them both but I got an error message :

Heh, well I learned something here.

While my app appeared to work fine and without error, I found that the one thing I was using the acedCmd() call for was not being executed. As latour_g noted, it didn't error, but it didn't do anything either. In my case, all it was doing was calling the BLOCKICON command to update old block definitions so I could show the icon on a form. It's not a command I use very often so had not noticed that no icon was being displayed. Changing it to ed.Command("_.BLOCKICON", blockname); fixed the issue.

latour_g, the new method requires the actual input as if you were typing it into the command line, not a ResultBuffer.
