Beats me! Using your code I get the following.

Code: [Select]


((-1 . <Entity name: 7ef60e18>) (0 . "3DSOLID")
#<VLA-OBJECT IAcad3DSolid 08c48eb4>


Title: here is the dwg I use

it is the code

Code: [Select]


(defun c:v-p ()

(vl-load-com)


(setq e-ENTITY (car (entsel "\nPick ENTY:")))
 (SETQ EG-ETY (ENTGET e-ENTITY))    

(setq vla-ENTITY (vlax-ename->vla-object e-ENTITY ))

It's possible, you missed or are in a paperspace layout and not mspacing through, therefore selecting nothing. If you were to set up a trap i.e.

Code: [Select]

(while (not (setq ent (car (entget "\nblah blah:"))))
(princ "\nYou missed.")
)...
you shouldn't get an automation error.

(defun c:vp ( / ename )
    (if (setq ename (car (entsel)))
        (vlax-ename->vla-object ename)
    )
)

I don't think that error is caused by this, but it can't hurt to try..... type (vl-load-com) before running your routine. If that solves it, add (vl-load-com) to your acad.lsp file

Good luck!

Post by: DEVITG on August 25, 2004, 08:04:12 AM

please see my code , it has the (vl-load-com)

So, that is not the fault.

If it's a new install, try running a repair in the add/remove under control panel. Might fix the problem.
