Ran across this today:

Code: [Select]

(defun getdims
               (/ dim ;dimstyle
                dimcol ;dimension collection
                dwg ;current drawing
                return ;list to be returned
)
  (vl-load-com)
  (setq dwg    (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))
        dimcol (vla-get-dimstyles dwg)
        return ()
  )
  (vlax-for dim dimcol
    (setq return (append return (list (vla-get-name dim))))
  )
  return
)

Hi

CAB I really think the person who wrote that should be credited, it's only polite and proper to do so when the person is known (in my humble opinion) -

Code written by Michael K. Sretenovic, original can be found here -

Have a good one, Mike

Please forgive my lazy behavior. I had no intention of slighting the person
whose post I copied. As that person did not put his or her name in the header of
the code nor claimed to be the original author. I just copied the code to my
library 'As Is'. I did not ask who the original author was and did not record
the source or the code. I thought that if the author wanted there name
associated with the code they would add it to the header of the code, I do. I
did remember where I got it as it was the same day that I copied the code but
was too lazy to go back and get the link. My apologies if I offended you or the
author. I NEVER remove the authors information and I did not intend to take any
credit for creating the code. Your comments will no doubt make me more aware
in the future.

Thanks

CAB

Hi CAB

No foul / harm and I honestly know you weren't trying to pass-off as your own, I just believe it's best to quote original source if possible....

Cheers, Mike

Thanks Mike
I'll will try to be a better Librarian in the future.
I do collect a lot of code and code snipits but I don't do a good job of organizing them.
