Basically by using lisp dxf codes 13,14
put this in your sub
varTest = vbAssoc(objDim, 13)
StartPt = ParseDxfPoint(varTest)
varTest = vbAssoc(objDim, 14)
EndPt = ParseDxfPoint(varTest)
Function ParseDxfPoint(DxfPoint)
Dim Pt(2) As Double
Dim Gap1, Gap2
Gap1 = InStr(2, DxfPoint, " ", vbTextCompare)
Pt(0) = Mid(DxfPoint, 2, Gap1 - 1)
Gap2 = InStr(Gap1 + 1, DxfPoint, " ", vbTextCompare)
Pt(1) = Mid(DxfPoint, Gap1 + 1, Gap2 - (Gap1 + 1))
Pt(2) = Mid(DxfPoint, Gap2 + 1, Len(DxfPoint) - (Gap2 + 1))
ParseDxfPoint = Pt
End Function
