Description
Namespace AcDbSymbolUtilities contains various utilities for working with symbol names, symbol records, and symbol tables. The main access to the utility functions is through acdbSymUtil(), which is dereferenced to call the member functions of class AcDbSymbolUtilities::Services.
The namespace alias AcDbSymUtil is available for use as a shorter abbreviation for the full namespace AcDbSymbolUtilities.
This namespace may be used in ObjectARX and ObjectDBX modules.
Classes
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
 Services | The class AcDbSymbolUtilities::Services (typedef AcDbSymUtilServices) provides utility functions that are accessed by dereferencing the pointer received from calling acdbSymUtil(). For example, to call the AcDbSymbolUtilities::Services::isBlockLayoutName() function, use acdbSymUtil()->isBlockLayoutName().The namespace alias AcDbSymUtil is available for use as a shorter abbreviation for the full namespace AcDbSymbolUtilities.This namespace may be used in both ObjectARX and ObjectDBX modules. |

Structs, Records, Enums
| Struct, Record, Enum | Description |
|---|---|
 CompatibilityMode | This enumerated type is a mnemonic alternative to passing true and false to the AcDbSymbolUtilities functions that accept a Boolean argument. This allows your code to better document the meaning of the Boolean argument.When using these enumerated constants, you can use the namespace alias AcDbSymUtil instead of the full, longer name, such as AcDbSymUtil::kExtendedNames. |
| NameCaseMode | This enumerated type is a mnemonic alternative to passing true and false to the AcDbSymbolUtilities functions that accept a Boolean argument. This allows your code to better document the meaning of the Boolean argument.When using these enumerated constants, you can use the namespace alias AcDbSymUtil instead of the full, longer name, such as AcDbSymUtil::kPreserveCase. |
| NewNameMode | This enumerated type is a mnemonic alternative to passing true and false to the AcDbSymbolUtilities functions that accept a Boolean argument. This allows your code to better document the meaning of the Boolean argument.When using these enumerated constants, you can use the namespace alias AcDbSymUtil instead of the full, longer name, such as AcDbSymUtil::kAsNewName. |
| VerticalBarMode | This enumerated type is a mnemonic alternative to passing true and false to the AcDbSymbolUtilities functions that accept a Boolean argument. This allows your code to better document the meaning of the Boolean argument.When using these enumerated constants, you can use the namespace alias AcDbSymUtil instead of the full, longer name, such as AcDbSymUtil::kNoVerticalBar. |
