ADN DWG Debugger - MGDDBG
Tool for viewing AutoCAD DWG Database
properties and layout, written in .NET
Getting Started
The MgdDBG application loads on startup. You can access its features by right
clicking and selecting

Usage
From the right click menu you can access each command. The commands are:
Snoop Entities - Allows you to select entities in
order for you to examine their properties and class layout.
Snoop Entities (nested) - Allows you to select
entities using the GetNestedEntity() in order for you to examine their
properties and class layout.
Snoop Entities (by Handle) - Allows you to select
entities via a Handle string input in order for you to examine their properties
and class layout.
Snoop Database - Allows you to view the entire
AutoCAD DWG database properties and its layout.
Snoop Editor - Allows you to view the AutoCAD Editor
properties and its layout.
Events - Allows test the AutoCAD Events API so that
you can see how they work.
Test Framework - Launches the AutoCAD .NET API test
dialog. Use this to find out how well the .NET API performs.
Using the treeview inside of the Snoop Database dialog, you can view the API
class tree. On the right hand side is the property window where you can view the
property values. Anywhere the property is
BOLD you can click on it to
reveal that class's properties.
The Test Framework dialog has many tests. Viewing the code in the debugger is a
good way to see what's going on. You can load the Visual Studio 2010 solution
below using the link.
