Title: How to get "insunits" from an existing block?
Post by: Peter2 on November 01, 2016, 07:41:02 AM

Edit: Solved

I have a drawing "test.dwg", where the block "myblock" was already inserted from "myblock.dwg".
How to get "insunits" from this already existing block? Should be easy, but at the moment I don't find the way :embarrassed:

Thanks

Peter

Found it - here is the way via "entlast":

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

(vlax-get-property (vlax-ename->vla-object  (entlast)) "insunitsfactor")

Here's another way, using Vanilla AutoLISP:

Code: [Select]

(cdr (assoc 70 (entget (cdr (assoc 330 (entget (tblobjname "block" "myblock")))))))
