Topic: Insert command ?

[Andrea]

hi all.

I'm re-making some new lisps without using AutoCAD command

I need to know how can i insert a block without using the "INSERT" command...?

i know there is a function called...         :vlr-beginInsert

but i do not know really how it work and if this can replace the "INSERT" command.


thanks.

Ah, travailler le Dimanche et t'as pas les yeux en face des trous! Tu poses ta question dans General pas VLISP hackers!!
prefix vlr means Visual Lisp Reactor, so that's not gonna' work. I know of vla-AddMInsert, and vla-AddAttribute, look in that direction until someone with a better answer shows up.
Arrivederci.

You can use the InsertBlock method.  This is a method on the Block object.  Remember that Model Space and Paper Space are block objects.  Here's an example:

Code: [Select]

(defun insertblock ()
  (setq  acadObj (vlax-get-acad-object)
           doc (vla-get-activeDocument acadObj)
           mspace (vla-get-modelSpace doc)
  ) ;_ setq
  (vla-insertBlock
    mspace insertionPoint blockNameOrFilename xScale yScale zScale
    rotation) ;_ vla-insertBlock
) ;_ defun

Refer to the "ActiveX and VBA Reference" for further details.
