Getting all entity types

[Andrew le Bihan]

Does anyone know if there's a way of getting a list of all entity types
(AcDbLine etc), including custom types for the current session of AutoCAD.
I'm not talking about types actually appended to the database - I mean any
types which it's possible to append - in ARX.

Cheers

Andrew,

This filters for entities with geometry:

AcRxDictionaryIterator* iter = acrxClassDictionary->newIterator();
if(iter)
{
while(!iter->done())
{
AcRxObject* pObj = iter->object();
if(pObj->isKindOf(AcRxClass::desc()))
{
AcRxClass* rx = (AcRxClass*)pObj;
// filter for AcDbEntity derived entities only
if(rx->isDerivedFrom(AcDbEntity::desc()))
{
CString classname = iter->key();
// TODO: do something with classname
}
}
iter->next();
}
delete iter;
}
