Topic: Find Grip Coordinates after insertion block

[cmwade77]

I have numerous dynamic blocks that I am working with, attached is one example block. I would like to get the coordinates of the grip for the parameter "Duct_1" in this case. I am honestly not sure where to even begin on this one.

It’s possible to get all the grips points in C++, I don’t know how to differentiate between them though

edit AcGeVector3d::kXAxis, should be Z

1.     static void CrxTest_doit1900()
2.     {
3.         ads_point pnt;
4.         ads_name ename = { 0L };
5.         if (acedEntSel(_T("\nPick it: "), ename, pnt) != RTNORM)
6.             return;
7.  
8.         AcDbObjectId eid;
9.         if (auto es = acdbGetObjectId(eid, ename); es != eOk)
10.             return;
11.  
12.         AcDbEntityPointer pEnt(eid);
13.         if (pEnt.openStatus() != eOk)
14.             return;
15.  
16.         AcDbGripDataPtrArray grips;
17.         if (auto es = pEnt->getGripPoints(grips, 1, 1, AcGeVector3d::kZAxis, 0); es != eOk)
18.             return;
19.  
20.         for (const auto grip : grips)
21.             acutPrintf(_T("\n(%f,%f,%f)"),
22.                 grip->gripPoint().x, grip->gripPoint().y, grip->gripPoint().z);
23.  
24.         AcDbDynBlockReference dyn(eid);
25.         if (!dyn.isDynamicBlock())
26.             return;
27.  
28.         AcDbDynBlockReferencePropertyArray props;
29.         dyn.getBlockProperties(props);
30.         for (const auto& prop : props)
31.             acutPrintf(_T("\n%ls"), prop.propertyName());
32.     }

Try to add an attribute at the position you want to obtain, then u can retrieve the cooridnate of the attribute after the block is instered.
