APIAny_GetElemCreatorToolUnIdID bug ?

Oleg
Expert
API 5.2
The APIAny_GetElemCreatorToolUnIdID returns bad database error when Detail database is active.
It seems like a bug, I dont see a reason why it can not work same way as for floor plan database.
May be it is not a bug but a designed feature.

Hi Oleg,

I can't keep the version numbers straight ... which version of AC does API 5.2 go with ... 8.1 I guess?

I don't have any of the old devkits installed anymore, so can't check ... but does this problem still exist in the 6.1 kit?

Best regards,
Karl

Yes, It is the 8.1 API. I dont know does it exist in the 6.1.
I met the issue in a project for 8.1 I am working.
Actually It is a very specific case, I dont think it will a big issue for most developers and me. I will just use other method instead of the function to
distinguish objects of my tool subtype along others.
But GS may check and fix it in a future API Kit, if it is a bug really.
