Topic: ENTMOD question...

[Andrea]

Hi all..

I have this simple routine..

Code: [Select]

(setq MVtemp (entget (car (entsel)))) 
(setq Qt1 (assoc 8 MVtemp))
(setq Qt2 (cons (car Qt1) "0"))
(setq Qt3 (subst Qt2 Qt1 MVtemp))
(entmod Qt3)
it seem to work great...
but not if the item selected is a MVIEW..

any idea why ?

What is an MVIEW?

Restrictions on Using entmod

There are restrictions on the changes the entmod function can make:

An entity's type and handle cannot be changed. If you want to do this, use entdel to delete the entity, and then make a new entity with the command or entmake functions.
The entmod function cannot change internal fields, such as the entity name in the –2 group of a seqend entity. Attempts to change such fields are ignored.
You cannot use the entmod function to modify a viewport entity.

Hi Andrea,

Ci è una certa limitazione circa quella funzione ed uno è che non potete usarli per modificare un'entità del viewport. 
Per favore, abbia uno sguardo nel documento di aiuto di balbett.

Wow..LE.. your Italian is good..

Thanks for the quick response..
so now, i'm confusing a little bit..

If ENTMOD have restriction...
can I have a list of theses rectriction somewhere ?

I can't found it in the help file...

Mark,

an MVIEW is in fact a VPORTS..
I call MVIEW because you can make VPORTS in tilemode 1.
just to prevent confusing the selected item.

No my Italian is not good at all, I have to always go to the language tools.... I know very little.

Open the VLIDE then click on the HELP button and in there you will find about the limitations.... good luck

MVIEW is a command name and it does a floating viewport entity.
