This is a simple question, but I could not find documentation for it.

With the C++ SDK, how do you create an instance of a BaseObject? I looked at the posts here on making a clone, but it appears that a clone is a copy, not an instance.

I can allocate an instance with:
BaseObject* ob = Alloc(Oinstance);

But then how does one set the source object for this instance object?

Please see Oinstance.res. In there you'll find that

    
    
    AutoAlloc<BaseLink> link;  
    if (link)  
    {  
      link->SetLink(anotherobj);  
      ob->SetParameter(DescLevel(INSTANCEOBJECT_LINK), GeData(link), 0);   
    }

does the trick.
