AutoCAD 2008 typelib:
[id(0x00000403), helpstring("Sets the extended data (XData) associated with an
object"), helpcontext(0x00010231)] void SetXData(
[in] VARIANT XDataType,
[in] VARIANT XDataValue);
Taken from Ole2View.
>From Autocad Developer Help:
Signature
object.SetXData XDataType, XData
Object
All Drawing Objects , AttributeReference, Block, Dictionary, DimStyle, Group,
Layer, Linetype, PlotConfigurations, RegisteredApplication, TextStyle, UCS,
View, Viewport; XRecord
The object or objects this method applies to.
XDataType
Variant (array of short); input-only
XData
Array of Variant; input-only
Remarks
Extended data is an example of instance-specific data created by applications
written with ObjectARX or AutoLISP. This data can be added to any entity. This
data follows the entity's definition data and is maintained in the order in
which it was saved into the document. (AutoCAD maintains this information but
doesn't use it.)
Test (on an old version of comtypes):
>>> line.SetXData(array.array("i", [1001, 1070]), ['Test_Application', 600])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
COMError: (-2145320939, None, (u'Invalid argument type in SetXData method',
u'AutoCAD.Application', u'C:\\Program Files\\AutoCAD Civil 3D Land Desktop
Companion 2008\\HELP\\OLE_ERR.CHM', -2145320939, None))
