Plot using ObjectDBX

[abdulhuck]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a batch plot utility using ObjectDBX. But I'm not able to get the Plot or PlotToDevice methods. Could anybody please point me to the right direction?

Dim oAxDbDoc As New AxDbDocument					' Declare variable
Dim i As Integer
For i = LBound(lstDwgs.List) To UBound(lstDwgs.List)
	oAxDbDoc.Open lstDwgs.List(i)				   'ObjectDBX
	Dim item As AcadLayout
	For Each item In oAxDbDoc.Layouts			   ' Start of loop through all layouts
		item.ConfigName = cboPlotter.Text		   ' device name
		item.CanonicalMediaName = cboPsize.Text   ' Paper size
		item.StyleSheet = cboPStyleTab.Text		 ' CTB file
		item.StandardScale = acScaleToFit		   ' Scale to fit
		item.PlotType = acExtents				   ' Extents
		item.CenterPlot = True					  ' Center
		item.PaperUnits = acMillimeters			 ' Units
		item.PlotRotation = ac0degrees			  ' Rotation
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Here I have a problem
		' ??acPlotOrientationLandscape			  ' Orientation
		' ??.plot								   ' Proceed with plot
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next i
End Sub

Many thanks & regards,

You can't plot with Odbx. It can only do database related manipulations. Plotting requires generating the geometry.
