Namespace: Teigha.DatabaseServices
Assembly: TD_Mgd (in TD_Mgd.dll) Version: 24.2.0.0

Syntax

public ObjectId Insert(
        string blockName,
        Database dataBase,
        bool preserveSourceDatabase
)

Public Function Insert ( 
        blockName As String,
        dataBase As Database,
        preserveSourceDatabase As Boolean
) As ObjectId

public:
ObjectId Insert(
        String^ blockName, 
        Database^ dataBase, 
        bool preserveSourceDatabase
)

member Insert : 
        blockName : string * 
        dataBase : Database * 
        preserveSourceDatabase : bool -> ObjectId

Parameters

blockName String: [in] Name for the newly created block table record.
dataBase Database: [in] Source database to copy data from.
preserveSourceDatabase Boolean: [in] Flag that specifies whether the source database is left unchanged.

Return Value

ObjectId
Returns the object ID for the new block table record created by this method.

Remarks

Unlike the wblockCloneObjects() method, insert() also copies the sortens table. While copying duplicate objects, names are ignored; a destination object that has the same name as the source object is rewritten by the source one. A new block table record is created and all model space entities of the source database are copied into the new block. You should delete the source database either immediately or at least before the destination database is deleted.
