ExLDTEnts Sample Application

Summary

ODA Product: Civil SDK
Sample Name: ExLDTEnts
Source Code Location: <INSTALL_DIR>/Civil/Examples/ExLDTEnts

Description

The ExLDTEnts sample application iterates the following Land Desktop primitives:

  • AECCDbPoint
  • AeccDbCogoPoint
  • AECCDbContour
The application prints their properties to the console, explodes and copies them to the output drawing.

It illustrates:

  • Initialization of ODA services.
  • Loading Civil core modules.
  • Exploding entities.
  • Assert function customization.
  • Reading/writing drawing files.

Run Sample Application

To run the ExLDTEnts sample application, please do the following:

  1. Open the terminal and go to the directory where the sample binary file is built:
    • For Windows: <INSTALL_DIR>\exe\<PLATFORM_NAME>\
    • For Non-Windows OS: <INSTALL_DIR>/bin/<PLATFORM_NAME>/
    <INSTALL_DIR> is a directory where you unpacked the Civil SDK archive.
    To determine your <PLATFORM_NAME> parameter, please see the ODA Platform Naming Conventions section in the Downloading Civil SDK topic.
  2. Run the sample with appropriate arguments:
    ExLDTEnts <source file> <target file>
source file Full path to a drawing file to read input data from.
target file Full path to a drawing file to write output data to.

If the application executed properly, you will see the message informing that points and contours from the source file have been iterated. In case you get the "usage" message, check the parameters. An error message indicates problems with the source file.
