Title: entity type in C#
Post by: Peter Guappa on March 16, 2014, 04:22:20 PM

Hi all,

How can I get the entity type in C# (block - arc - line - ....) when hovering over an entity?
If it is a block, how can I get the block name?

Thx.

I'm stuck. My C# knowledge is almost nil.

I can get the entity type by using  "id.ObjectClass.Name"

But how can I get the block name?

     if (id.ObjectClass.Name == "AcDbBlockReference")
     { ......
