test if level exists

[sfaust]

Ok, thanks to help from you guys it's ready to go! It still doesn't handle stacked walls great, it basically skips them and warns the user that it's doing it, but the pieces show up. Interestingly, they show up twice; once as a wall and once as a curtain panel. Either way, it doesn't create an error anymore and the program continues normally and all elements can still be selected. I also tested it on a large project and it seems to work well, albeit slow if there are really a lot of elements.

So Guy let me know what ADN says, but in the mean time, THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU!

Congrats on getting it working Steve. Guy seems to be the expert around here, but I'm glad if I was able to help you out. It's fun stuff.

I'm no expert, the experts are the x number of uber programmers sitting in the Factory. The more the merrier. And nice to see Steve sharing the command and the source. Everyone learns when the source is available.

Thanks I'm excited, it's the first thing I've been able to create that's actually useful with my newfound programming "knowledge" . As far as sharing, no problem. You guys practically wrote about half of it anyway. Speaking of which, here is the final working code with the stacked wall updates.

I'll file it with ADN and see what they say.

Yep, it's a bug in the API. Issue is logged.

ok, well good that they're aware of it. Let me know if there are any updates...

Steve,

I cant seem to get this to work with 09. Is there something that I need to change or do you have an update?

thanks,

Nick

I just plugged in the ini info in 2009 and it seemed to work, what issues are you having?

Just figured it out. I had the ECClassName set to 1 by accident.

thanks

Glad it was that because I wasn't going to know where to start looking for the error .

BTW, GuyR, do you know if they fixed the error in the stacked walls for 2009? If so, I could take that part out of the code...
