Renaming the ‘Industry Data Model’ aka ‘Topobase’ API assemblies and namespace in AutoCAD Map 3D 2013

By Partha Sarkar

This article is in continuation of previous post related to AutoCAD Map 3D 2013 and change in API namespaces / assemblies. In AutoCAD Map 3D 2013, all the namespaces and assemblies starting with "Topobase.xxx" is renamed to "Autodesk.Map.IM.xxx", e.g. Topobase.AreaTopology.dll is renamed to Autodesk.Map.IM.AreaTopology.dll and the Topobase.AreaTopology namespace is renamed to Autodesk.Map.IM.AreaTopology Namespace. If you have an existing application for AutoCAD Map 3D 2012, which is using Topobase assemblies and namespaces, you need to update the assemblies and namespaces per AutoCAD Map 3D 2013.

AutoCAD Map 3D 2013 SDK is available for download from Map 3D Developer Center page. AutoCAD Map 3D 2013 Developer Guide is available online and you can download the related API Reference documents from here.
