1)  Your app isn't "interacting with the current instance of ArcGIS".  Creating a new MxDocumentClass instance triggers the creation of a new ArcMap application instance, it doesn't cause it to link to an already running instance.  Perhaps this is what you meant, just wanted to clarify. 2)  In theory you'd expect that starting an instance of ArcMap should trigger ArcMap to check out the appropriate license; however, you may need to check out the appropriate license in your app before you can use the API.  Worth trying. 3) If all you want to do is do automated plotting using one of the Export*Classes you may want to use the ArcEngine controls instead i.e. create a C# Form that hosts an ESRI.ArcGIS.Controls.AxPageLayoutControl.  You can create the form hidden and then use the page layout control to generate the export files.  Much lighter weight solution than starting and trying to automate ArcMap. ...

The easiest way is using IFeatureEdit.MoveSet().  Likewise for rotations, use IFeatureEdit.RotateSet(). The issue, as you've seen, is that the anno shape is just the bounding polygon.  This is true for both anno text and anno used to store graphics.  The actual text/graphic is stored in the element blob field.  So either use the *Set() methods, or move the polygon and element separately. e.g. var fedit = feature as IFeatureEdit; var set = new SetClass(); set.Add(fedit); var vector = new LineClass(); vector.FromPoint = ...; vector.ToPoint = ...; fedit.MoveSet(set, vector); ...

Create your own GxFilter and assign to IGxDialog.ObjectFilter. Suggest deriving from GxFilterWorkspacesClass and just overriding CanDisplayObject method. e.g. something like: [ComVisible(true)] [Guid("...")] [ProgId("GxFilterSDEWorkspaces.Class")] public class GxFilterSDEWorkspacesClass :      global::ESRI.ArcGIS.Catalog.GxFilterWorkspacesClass {      public GxFilterSDEWorkspacesClass() : base()      {      }      //---------------------------------------------------------------------      public override bool CanDisplayObject( IGxObject OBJECT )      {           var  d = base.CanDisplayObject(OBJECT);           if( !d || !OBJECT.IsValid ) return false;           if( OBJECT.Category.EqualsI("Folder") ) return true;           var db = OBJECT as IGxDatabase;           if( db == null ) return false;           var ws = db.Workspace;           if( ws == null ||                ws.Type != esriWorkspaceType.esriRemoteDatabaseWorkspace ||                !ws.PathName.EndsWithI(".sde")           ) return false;           return true;      }      //---------------------------------------------------------------------      // to avoid compile errors, must override ALL base COM methods.      //---------------------------------------------------------------------      public override string Description {           get { return base.Description; }      }      public override string Name {           get { return base.Name; }      }      public override bool CanChooseObject( IGxObject OBJECT, ref esriDoubleClickResult RESULT )      {           return base.CanChooseObject(OBJECT, ref RESULT);      }      public override bool CanSaveObject( IGxObject LOCATION, string NEWOBJECTNAME, ref bool OBJECTALREADYEXISTS )      {           return base.CanSaveObject(LOCATION, NEWOBJECTNAME, ref OBJECTALREADYEXISTS);      } } They will still see all the normal top-level folders GxDialog has, but they will only be able to see and pick connections backed by an .sde file. ...

You're still creating then throwing away the second instance. Change:: ITextSymbol pTextSymbol = new TextSymbolClass();        pTextSymbol = pMask as ITextSymbol;  To: ITextSymbol pTextSymbol = pMask as ITextSymbol;  ... View more

We have a similar case, a single dll w/ a form that hosts several engine controls.  The dev with the engine dev license can setup the form in the Visual Studio dialog editor, other dev's can't.  However, all dev's can compile the dll, even if they don't have an engine dev license. ... View more

Yes, you would need access to the database.  I usually have full access to a development copy of a clients database.  My current client uses Oracle, so I use sqldeveloper to do these kind of queries.  SQL Server should be similar.  File GDB, not sure, but obviously you'd have to run the query via AO e.g. qd = IFeatureWorkspace.CreateQueryDef, set qd properties, then qd.Evaluate to get the results cursor. ...

The 1352 error, to me, suggests that maybe you've only converted some of the classes in the network from ArcFM to ArcGIS i.e. you converted the conductor but not the Fault Indicator ?  You may have to map all features in the network from their ArcFM class to their ArcGIS counterpart. When you create/convert the feature class to be used in a geometric network you specify if it's simple _or_ complex.  All rows in the given feature class are then of the specified type e.g. can't create a simple edge feature class and have some of its rows behave as complex.  As such, it's important that you map the ArcFM class to the correct ArcGIS one i.e. simple to simple, complex to complex. ... I haven't done this, but have you tried using the ArcCatalog network dataset context menu option "ArcFM Solution Object Converter" and selecting "Convert to use ESRI Objects" ?  I've only used it the other way, convert ESRI to ArcFM, but I believe it's supposed to do exactly what you are trying to do ... sorry, reread original post, seems issue is you don't have ArcFM installed on your machine.  Can you get the client to do this on a copy of the DB and have them provide that to you ? I'm afraid I've only used C/C++ and C# arcobjects API's, not Java.  It looks like IFeatureClassProxy is Java only.  I assume it's analogous to IFeatureClass. I'm not sure why getEXTCLSID would return null unless there isn't actually an extension registered with the class.  Check the SDE.GDB_OBJECTCLASSES table to see what the CLSID and EXTCLSID's are so you know if it's your code or not.  I would not suggest editing the values directly in that table ... but then again it might work. ...

IClass Interface EXTCLSID - the extension class ID Extension - the instance (returns object, need to cast to appropriate interface) ExtensionProperties - properties to alter the extension behaviour, specific to the instance IClassSchemaEdit and IClassSchemaEdit2 - alter the class extension for a given table. I think your original question was clear.  The concern is you've done the obvious thing, change the class extension, and are still having issues.  That's non-standard enough that I'm not sure anyone would have tried that before. If you look at the MM class extensions you se they do have edge and junction specific ones which suggests there may be deeper ties than just the class extension: So, you've nulled out the class extension and changes the class type from the ArcFM one to the appropriate ArcGIS one.  Did you set it to the correct ArcGIS one i.e. Object, Feature, Edge, or Junction ?  From your original post it looks like you set to Feature when you may need to set to either Simple or ComplexEdgeFeature. ...
