Good Night All.

 

I want to reference an object after it has been created but I am unsuccessful. can anyone guide me how to achieve this objective?

 

 

Here is the code that I used. I want to close the offset object.

 

 

Dim OffsetObj As Variant

OffsetObj = JoinedPlineObj8.Offset(3)

Thanks.

 

 

I know how to close a Polyline. My problem is that after the polyline is offset I cannot do anything with the offset line because is does not respond to any methods. Its as thought it has no handle or accepts references

I could not find a VBA get last equivalent and as I dont use VBA tried googling and the suggetsions were to use a selection set method which retrieved the last object created.

 

Often there is a need to remember the last object created and do something with it, in lisp I use (setq obj2 (entlast)) The object may have been created as you want by doing an offset.

 

I thought some one else may have posted a solution.

From the Autocad Help Offset Method

 

Return Value (RetVal)

 

Type: Variant (array of objects)

 

An array of the newly created objects resulting from the offset.

 

Thus OffsetObj is an array with 1 element containing an object so you need to extract the object from the array first then you can close it
