lookup action table

[MartinSomerville]

hi again

 

Am still on the creating dynamic block lisp.

 

I am running the lisp in the block editor.

 

I have set up everything I need - all the parameters and all the actions associated with the parameters, and all the vis states - except I can't automate the lookup actions.

 

The lisp works fine, having the action lookup table pop up each time and me manually entering the vis states etc (I am mainly using the lookups with vis states) but I want to do this without manual input - would save a lot of time... but can't seem to find where the lookup action data is kept or how to input without the popup table in the first place - there does'nt seem to be a command line alternative?

 

The following is the dump from a lookup action (i can only get this when doing an (entlast) and converting to object. I don't know where it lives otherwise:

 

Command: (vlax-dump-object a T)
; IAcadBlockLookupActionEntity: IAcadBlockLookupActionEntity Interface
; Property values:

T

Would anyone have any ideas how I can do this.

Thanks
