What is the best group to ask about ARX programing ?

Hi there,

I'm new to ARX programming and will most likely need some help.

What would be the best group to post questions so I don't bother everybody
in all groups ?

Thanx

You are dealing with a relatively difficult API to program with, and I too
wished Autodesk put out specific groups for just arx programming.

However, take my advice and spare yourself countless hours of trouble with
crashes and access violation:

USE SMART POINTERS WHENEVER OPENING AUTOCAD OBJECTS!!!!!!!

That is, wrap any object you open for reading or editing into a smart
pointer that automatically closes (object->close()) the object!

Take my word for it, you will be glad you did! Autocad is VERY intolerant to
objects that have been opened without being closed (it always crashes), and
this is one the most common sources of faults in any arx program.

Use: autodesk.autocad.objectarx
on the newsserver: discussion.autodesk.com

and it has been there for years.....

Thanks for the info!

Yes, it is too bad that Agent does not handle it well.
Use Outlook Express (that you already have) or
use a shareware newsreader.
