Hi, Written a tool for replacing (updating) blocks. Had some spare time untill my boss recently used the W-word again (work , yak!) Anywayz , its a prototype so I'm not sure its stable and safe yet because I only did some lab testing. I hope it will be usefull. Not sure if I will be able to work on it further any time soon because I still have a few ideas and wishes. gr. Rlx RlxBlk manual.doc RlxBlk.lsp RlxBlk.dcl

I'm developing a tool that can exact title & parts list information from a drawing and edit them What I did is open those drawings one by one, access the object from Thisdrawing object, it works, but very slow, especially you want to exact like 20+ drawings. Recently I found a very good thing, that is ObjectDBX, it can get information from and edit drawing without open it. I update my code, it works perfectly except the parts list. In my situation, all parts list are stored in AutoCAD built-in BOM, can access form IMcadPartList object in paper space (thisdrawing.paperspace(INDEX_OF_PARTLIST).itemList) But this seems not available in oDBX document, it's undefined. Example: ' I don't open CAD now, pseudo code below dim sampleFilePath as string dim dbx as axdbdocument dim doc as acaddocument dim partListRefIndex as integer sampleFilePath = "somewhere/sample.dwg" set dbx = new axdbdocument set doc = thisDrawing ' Let's point both version to the same file doc.open(sampleFilePath, READ_ONLY) dbx.open(sampleFilePath) partListRefIndex = GetPartListRefIndex(doc) doc.paperspace(partListRefIndex) ' It's an Object/IMcadPartList dbx.paperspace(partListRefIndex) ' It's an Object/IMcadPartList too doc.paperspace(partListRefIndex).itemlist ' Variant/Object/IMcadBOMItems dbx.paperspace(partListRefIndex).itemlist ' Error Please help, is there any way to access the McadBOMItems in oDBX document?
