ObjectDBX and Acad 2008

[MikeJarosz]

Help! I've migrated to 2008 from 2005. All the oDBX programs I've written fail when run in 2008. The exact same code runs perfectly in 2005.

I have carefully copied the AXAUTO15.TLB from release to release over the years. Has something been done to 2008 to disable oDBX? Or, is there a new reference library I should be using?

To the best of my knowledge, you need to change your ObjectDBX reference to the 2008 version.

If your are use VB not VBA then all code need to be compile use the new TBL file. it not the AXAUTO15.TLB I Think it AXAUTO17.TLB now

In your code you get the ObjectDbx Document with code like this

AcadApplication.GetInterfaceObject("ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.15")

It need to be change to this

AcadApplication.GetInterfaceObject("ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.17")

all other ref in your program to ObjectDBX.??????.15 need to be change to ObjectDBX.??????.17

I think you are mistaken. The type lib is specific to each version. One tlb will never work with another lib. Each version of acad comes with its own type lib. You need to change your code to work with the current version. If your code will always work with only one version, you can do away with the the version specific part. i.e., change "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.15" to "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument". You also have to change your reference to the correct tlb.

Version 17 worked. I'm not yet using VB with Autocad despite all the AU classes I've taken. I will be starting an Excel project soon with VSTO. After that, I should be ready for VB and Acad (and Revit).
