Anyway to bypass this error?

[Accoes]

Command: (setq sset (vlax-ename->vla-object sset))

*Cancel*

Automation Error. Description was not provided.

[fixo]

Try this out

 
(vl-load-com)
(setq sset (ssget))
(setq vla-sset (vla-get-activeselectionset(vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))))
(vlax-for obj vla-sset
;;;do your work with every object (obj) in selection here
)

vlax-ename->vla-object must be fed ONLY a valid ENAME and will not work with anything else. Hence the name.

Follow the directions explained in this tutorial to use the Visual LISP IDE to get information about how to use a function, including the arguments and returns for that function.

Let me explain a little.Our soft comes with a .dll for properties in Autocad.I wanted to see if I unloaded this ,how much of the object properties I could see with a dump.The dump works as long as the .dll is loaded. I guess what I'm asking is if this .dll is not loaded is the object carrying these properties still? I cannot tell due to the ename stuff.

Look into the vlax-dump-object function, or see here and for DXF here.

I was using your (dump) Lisp Lee.If you notice it was asking for the ename and errored.Dxf ?

 

The dxf version gives me the same results as (entget(car(entsel))).The vlax-dump provides additional info .

My function: 'LMDump' will take a VLA-Object, Entity name, or DXF Association List and print the ActiveX Properties and Methods associated with the object in question.
