class OdDbDictionary : public OdDbObject;

File

DbDictionary.h

Description

This class implements database -resident object dictionaries.

Remarks

Each instance of OdDbDictionary is a single container object, in which entries are searched, added, modified, and deleted.
Each OdDbDictionary entry associates a unique name (key) string with a unique OdDbObject.
Anonymous names are signified by specifying a name starting with an asterisk; e.g., *U. A unique name (also starting with an asterisk) will be constructed for the entry.
Entry names honor the rules of Symbol names:
- Names may be any length.
- Names are case-insensitve.
- Names may not contain any of the following characters: | * : ; < > ? " , equals.
