Yes, you could definitely use a plugin to run this code.

I cannot tell if this will take care of your situation as I've never felt the need to enable NTFS permission checking so far, so this might or might not make a difference.

qt_ntfs_permission_lookup is not mapped to the ECMAScript interface.

I'd strongly recommend to NEVER use these integer IDs in your code. Those IDs are generated at run time and can change in every future release and theoretically even every time the application is run. To look up a particular modification or check if a change matches a change you are interested in, a...

Please make sure that your action runs in the global script context, not in the script context of a single document. When setting up your action (i.e. in TestAction.init or TestActionInit.js):

action.setRequiresDocument(false);

Note sure I understand. Please elaborate. getAffectedObjects() does return a list of IDs of entities that were modified.

Then I tried to use the vl_change_list as an array. vl_objIds = vl_changes.getAffectedObjects(); vl_change_list = vl_changes.getPropertyChanges(vl_objIds ); test1 = vl_change_list[0].getNewValue; test2 = vl_change_list[0].getOldValue; test3 = vl_change_list[0].getPropertyTypeId; all 3 test variable...

You can attach custom properties or custom variables to: - documents (data that refers to one specific document, RDocument::setVariable ) - entities (individual data for each individual entity) - blocks (data that refers to blocks or is the same for all block references of the same block) - layers (...

getPropertyChanges returns an array. You can iterate through that array using a for loop. As you can see in the API doc, each item in the array is of type RPropertyChange . Please click the above link to see how you can extract the ID of the property that was changed, the new value, the old value, e...

Have a look at RTransaction::getPropertyChanges.

This is expected behavior. The custom properties are added to a block reference (aka "block instance" or "block insert") in the part library. When you insert the part library item, the block reference is copied into your drawing, copying the custom properties with it. The block definition is also co...

RTransaction::getAffectedObjects returns a list of object IDs as integers (RObject::Id) not strings.

If you have an entity ID, you can simply query the entity from the document using:

What does your Entity_to_text do?
Are you trying to look up an entity that matches a certain geometry (e.g. a line from 50,20 to 70,80) or an entity that matches a certain ID?

RTransactionListenerAdapter would be the correct listener to use to monitor changes. REntityExportListenerAdapter listens to entities being exported (e.g. to a graphics scene or to a file).
