Title: ENTMOD question...
Post by: Andrea on October 28, 2005, 12:25:17 PM

Hi all..

I have this simple routine..

Code: [Select]

(setq MVtemp (entget (car (entsel)))) 
(setq Qt1 (assoc 8 MVtemp))
(setq Qt2 (cons (car Qt1) "0"))
(setq Qt3 (subst Qt2 Qt1 MVtemp))
(entmod Qt3)
it seem to work great...
but not if the item selected is a MVIEW..

any idea why ?

Restrictions on Using entmod

There are restrictions on the changes the entmod function can make:

An entity's type and handle cannot be changed. If you want to do this, use entdel to delete the entity, and then make a new entity with the command or entmake functions.
The entmod function cannot change internal fields, such as the entity name in the –2 group of a seqend entity. Attempts to change such fields are ignored.
You cannot use the entmod function to modify a viewport entity.

Hi Andrea,

Ci è una certa limitazione circa quella funzione ed uno è che non potete usarli per modificare un'entità del viewport. 
Per favore, abbia uno sguardo nel documento di aiuto di balbett.

Thanks for the quick response..

If ENTMOD have restriction...
can I have a list of theses rectriction somewhere ?

I can't found it in the help file...

Mark,

an MVIEW is in fact a VPORTS..
I call MVIEW because you can make VPORTS in tilemode 1.
just to prevent confusing the selected item.

No my Italian is not good at all, I have to always go to the language tools.... I know very little.

Open the VLIDE then click on the HELP button and in there you will find about the limitations.... good luck

MVIEW is a command name and it does a floating viewport entity.
