Topic: Getting BlockTableRecord for Write

[Proctor]

Hello: If I make a call to a sub via the command prompt, this line works fine:

myBTR = myBT(BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace).GetObject(OpenMo de.ForWrite)

but....if after i open my app in autocad with an open form and on click of a button, i make a call to the same sub...it bombs on this same line.

Thanks,
Proctor

Don't forget document locking also

Ssssh Mick...I'm trying to lead him into that realisation so he realises the context

[MickD]

oops...sorry to spoil the fun Glenn, carry on

[Proctor]

It's working!!! I was opening my form Modeless so changed it to Model but still didn't work; after which, I switched back to Modeless and added the line:

Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.LockDocument(DocumentLockMode.AutoWrite, Nothing, Nothing, True) to my proc...and it worked like a charm!!


Thanks to you both for the great insite.
