Moving an object

Hey,

I drew a polyline (vla-object) and now I want to move/offset it from a

base-point to a target point. Can anyone tell me how to LISP it please ?

Thanks fellows

As a matter of respect , you should reply to your threads to people whom spend their time trying to help you .

I would if I could.. but I'm a novice myself with Lisp. That is why I bother you with all those questions.

I believe you misunderstand @Tharwat complaints; is about the lack of feedback from your side on the said previous thread. Just test the code provided as example and tell him/her if that is or not what you were looking for. Mere thanks for other’s effort don’t hurt, also. This way people involved in this Forum will know that their efforts weren't in vain.

Don't be afraid, nobody is expecting you to provide solutions if don't have (yet) the required knowledge.

If you have in mind specific OFFSET distances which you frequently need, perhaps it would be a good idea to create

some custom MULTILINE styles incorporating the offset, in that way when you draw it, it is simultaneously offset.

As mentioned by Tharwat and Mircea, assistance is freely given by forum members.

I should hope that a little feedback and common courtesy is not too much to ask?

very well said dadgad

"Move" would have a different effect than "offset", so which one do you prefer? or both?

Thanks guys,

I have tried offseting before but did not get satisfactory results. Perhaps I didn't use it correctly but in any case my aim is to use the move method. Does anyone have references on how to lisp movements of objects from basepoint to another?

vla-object

(vlax-invoke (vla-copy [i]obj[/i]) 'Move pt1 pt2)

ename or selection sets

(command "_move" [i]selset[/i] "" "_non" pt1 "_non" pt2)

Ok thanks it solved my problem
