Extracting values from objects

I just pointed to you that the answer was in my previous message. Sorry if you understood me wrong.

It is ok ,

I know what you were referring to , i just added the entmakex and retrieved the needed dxf information just the same way that OP intended to do when they posted the command call of line entity , and i just replaced it with entmakex to guarantee that the last entity is in hand which is better that the use of the function entlast .

Again, your solution is impeccable if is used to just demonstrate a principle – coordinates extraction from a line entity. From a practical point of view, please imagine how OP’s code will look if he/she need to draw a contour made of ~100 lines and retain the points for further processing. This is why I believe that this approach is counter-productive.
My opinion is that a less experienced user should be adviced to switch to effective solutions instead of encouraging him to persist to not required work-arounds that will overcomplicate his code. I may be wrong, but this is what I fell.

One more time ,

You have an idea in mind and built your thoughts on it , my example was to give a better way than the use of enlast function and command call is well .

Tharwat,

The point that I believe Mircea is making is that in your code you have already calculated the line endpoint in order to construct the line, and are then querying the DXF data of the line to retrieve the endpoint that you already have.

The OP was using the method of constructing the line to obtain the endpoint since evidently he/she was unaware of the polar function (even though this was suggested in a previous thread, by Mircea no less).

[Tharwat]

I do agree , and to go further in explanations won't hurt at all , IMO at least .

Guys... I don't think its really appropriate to fill two pages of a public thread with a personal discussion, especially between senior members of the forum, who should set a good example.

I would really appreciate if you didn't do it in my posts, at any rate.

Thank you to everyone who posted constructive, helpful posts, and I appologise for not posting code in the code tags. I have gone and changed this in all my previous posts.

If you hadn't realised, the 'personal discussion' was actually for your benefit, to explain why one particular method is more effective than another. But since you had clearly ignored the previous advice given in your last thread, we are evidently wasting our time in trying to help you.

Nice reply Lee .

@Mircea , if you took the discussion as a personal attack or so as the following guy says , i have to apologize from you .

And for you bb , if you didn't get the benefit of that constructive discussion , it really means that we are wasting our time with you and with your unaccepted way of talking .

@Lee Mac: Thank you for your intervention.

@Tharwat: Please don't be afraid, I really didn't considered any of your posts in such way. If you have felt that on mines, then I have to apologize too.
