Proxy Entity Code 310 to Normal Entity

[KevinBarnett]

Greetings,

We receive DWG files created by a locally developed (South Africa) GIS software application (MunSys). The DWG files contains only acad-proxy-entities. We have to explode them before we can do anything with the objects - i.e. change colour, layer etc.

Strangely enough, the ODConvert program from the Open Design Alliance does a pretty good job of converting these files, when we use it to revert them to R12 format. Except that it discards some objects.

When I make a DXF from the DWG file we receive I can see huge values under code 310 of each Proxy (example attached). Can anybody help me decipher these codes so I can try to find a fast and effective method to convert the proxies to "normal" drawing objects?

At the moment it takes about 2 hours to explode 100000 proxies.

Thanks,

Kevin.

Hi Kevin.
Can the creators of MunSys provide you with an object enabler? That should allow you to change object properties.

John,

You were spot on! MunSys supplied the object enabler. Would you believe it - that kind of development down here in South Africa. But, I would still love to be able to decipher the codes in the 310 dxf, I know it's possible.

Have a great day,

Kevin.
