Hi gents,

does anyone of you know how to get embedded objects out of DOORS (7,1)? I know it's easy for pictures - even pictures of embedded objects - but I have no idea how to deal with documents like PDFs or DOCs.

The only way I currently know of is dragging or copy/ paste out of DOORS but this results in an embedded object as well (I'm sure you know these Scrap files). In addition I'd like to do it via DXL.

There are many postings in the Telelogic forums that addresses the problem but unfortunately no meaty ones (any more?)

Thank you very much,
Cheers,
Frank

Search for 'EmbeddedOleObject' in the DXL manual.

You can get a handle on an OLE like this:

RichText rt
EmbeddedOleObject eoo
for rt in AttrValue do
{ if (rt.isOle)
{ eoo = rt.getEmbeddedOle
// now deal with the eoo Ole,
// see section 'Embedded OLE objects and the OLE clipboard' in the manual
}
}

Thank you very much for your support, but I not able to find what I'm looking for. I found many useful informations of how to embed objects and how to copy/ paste them to other applications, but I do not find a word of how to export them. The only thing that I do find is how to export images.

What I'd like to be able to is to export a document (either pdf or doc or whatever) just like it was before importing it.

Let's assume I have embedded a pdf into DOORS. When I drag and drop it, the output will be a scrap file. When I copy it to the clipboard and then paste it to the desktop, the output will be a scrap file again :-(

Maybe I missed the corresponding phrases in the manual?

Thank again,
Cheers,
Frank

While you can copy a pdf to clipboard using dxl, I think that you will have to get a third party application to save a pdf from clipboard.

Hm, this is not the answer I was looking for ;-)

Maybe I should investigate other possible solutions. One might be the richText output. There is a header chunk talking about what type of object is embedded and the data chunk. The problem is, that I have no idea how the data is encoded.

Do anybody of you know how the data chunk in the richText string is encoded?

Thank you very much,
Frank
