acedXrefNotifyCheckFileChanged Function

C++

Acad::ErrorStatus acedXrefNotifyCheckFileChanged(
    AcDbObjectId btrId, 
    bool& hasChanged
);

File

acedxref.h

Description

This function can be used to check whether an external reference file has been changed since it has been loaded into the host database.

Parameters

Parameters Description
btrId Input the AcDbObjectId of the block table record corresponding to an external reference for which the associated drawing file is to be checked for changes.
hasChanged Input bool to indicate whether the external reference drawing file was determined to have been changed.

Notes

The external reference notification feature uses the same code every so often to monitor all externally referenced drawing files for changes. A file is considered changed if it has a different file size or a different timestamp as compared to when the file was most recently loaded into the host database.
