Title: Block Help needed.
Post by: V-Man on August 29, 2013, 10:44:40 AM

I'm in need of inserting a block into the BlockTableRecord without actually inserting the block into the drawing. I have seen code and examples for .NET but nothing in Lisp or Vlisp. How to go about this?

Thanks,

Using the -INSERT command:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (command "_.-insert" "Your-Block-Name-Here" nil)

Using the insertblock ActiveX method:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (vla-delete
2.     (vla-insertblock
3.         (vla-get-modelspace (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
4.         (vlax-3D-point 0 0)
5.         "Your-Block-Name-Here" 1.0 1.0 1.0 0.0
6.     )
7. )

Lee Mac Thanks for the quick response. That's it. I should have known the the first option... duh...  :-)
