point orientation

Hi All,

I have added a point using

ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddPoint(pnt)

Then Rotated the point using

pnt.Rotate p, somevalue

Now how can i read the current rotation value of the point?

**The dxf code 50 representing the Rotation value.

Thanks,

Kumar.

'ThisDrawing'... sounds like a VBA thang... then this thread may help:

It doesn't seems like the point object in VBA has no .Rotation property at all. It is just a point. To have a rotation you should better use a block containing a point or just any kind of block.

Search for DUMPENT.lsp good for finding out all sorts of stuff about an object and naming for VL & VBA will confirm if rotation supported.

(defun c:DUMP  ( / eName)
 (if (setq eName (car (entsel "\nSelect object: ")))
   (progn
     (vlax-dump-object (vlax-ename->vla-object eName) T)
     (textpage))
   (prompt "\n** Nothing selected ** "))
 (princ))

Thanks Renderman didn't have that lisp at time of post. Dumpfor a Autocad point does not appear to have rotation. NOTE CIV3D point is totally different

Select object: ; IAcadPoint: AutoCAD Point Interface
; Property values:
;   Application (RO) = #<VLA-OBJECT IAcadApplication 000000013fdc2308>
;   Coordinates = (613.794 53.8048 0.0)
;   Document (RO) = #<VLA-OBJECT IAcadDocument 0000000026ac7068>
;   EntityTransparency = "ByLayer"
;   Handle (RO) = "116C2"
;   HasExtensionDictionary (RO) = 0
;   Hyperlinks (RO) = #<VLA-OBJECT IAcadHyperlinks 000000003768f208>
;   Layer = "DEFAULT"
;   Linetype = "ByLayer"
;   LinetypeScale = 1.0
;   Lineweight = -1
;   Material = "ByLayer"
;   Normal = (0.0 0.0 1.0)
;   ObjectID (RO) = 87
;   ObjectID32 (RO) = 87
;   ObjectName (RO) = "AcDbPoint"
;   OwnerID (RO) = 88
;   OwnerID32 (RO) = 88
;   PlotStyleName = "ByLayer"
;   Thickness = 0.0
;   TrueColor = #<VLA-OBJECT IAcadAcCmColor 00000
Select object:
00037684520>
;   Visible = -1

You're welcome; I have a slew of Dump* and Entget* functions for various objects. I'd be happy to share if you'd find them useful.

** Edit - I do need to add Civil 3D specific support though; many of the Aecc* objects are not even supported by vlax-dump-object. I'm going to need to code some .NET LispFunction Methods to expand LISP for this.

Thanks Bigal; inbox cleaned up (enough), fire away! LoL
