Topic: Extrusion of Xref Block

[kwarmington]

I have an Xref that I’m trying to overlay into a drawing. I can get an Autocad blockreference object, which I’m then trying to manipulate its scale, rotation etc.

blockref.Rotation and blockRef.ScaleFactors seem to work great, however I also have an Extrusion vector that I need to apply to the Xref. This is an extrusion through the Z axis. It is equivalent to the Extrusion direction relative to UCS when you list information on an Xref.  It is also the values in the DWF group code 210.

I have tried using the TransformBy method, but my object just seems to change position, not the extrusion.

I am really new to Autocad, and even newer to Autocad programming, if anyone has any ideas how to manipulate my Xref it would be greatly appreciated.

BillZndl over on the AutoDesk discussion groups provided me with this very helpful answer:

blockref.Normal = YourVector3d;
