Topic: Suppress alert box when dynamic block is exploded

[clarkrj]

I am using dynamic blocks to create 3d geometry by inserting the dynamic block, manipulating the parameters, exploding the block, and the manipulating the resulting geometry.


I have everything working but when I explode the dynamic block block an alert box is displayed telling me parameters have been deleted.


Is there a way to suppress this alert box?  Expert does not cover this box.

First, welcome to theSwamp.

When I explode a dynamic block, I don't get any alert box.  That is in '09.

But you can explode the block using ActiveX methods.

Code: [Select]

(vl-load-com)
(setq Sel (entsel "\n Select dynamic block: "))
(setq Obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car Sel)))
(vla-Explode Obj) ;or (vlax-invoke Obj 'Explode) ; depends on if you want to do anything with the objects that are added to the database after the block has been exploded
(vla-Delete Obj)

The ' vlax-invoke ' method will return a list of all the items that were exploded into the database.

I'm working in '11 and I dont receive any alert boxes either.

[Nibster]

does using BURST create the alert as well?  (which, I've also never seen either)

Adding this command
(command "delconstraint" (entlast) "")
After the dynamic block is edited and before it is exploded works.

Thanks for your help
