[fixo]

Hi, guys
I can't fix my problem entire the day, it's
driving me mad ...
What's wrong with my code snip?
At the first glance even thouh

Code: [Select]

I noticed that you didn't filter for just blocks.  I'm assuming that is just because this is in the early phase of development.

You might want to say what it is/isn't doing that you think it should/shouldn't be.  This way people will know which parts to look at more closely.  I don't use dynamic blocks, and haven't coded for them, so I'm not much help, so I'm just a spectator this time.

Thanks Tim, that you have paid attention to mine post.
Pardon me, that you have spent the time for my problem.
I have just found out that a problem is in the AutoCAD, I have
reinstalled it and now all works just fine

Oleg

Good to hear Oleg.  It wasn't a waste of time for me, as I get to see how someone works with dy blocks.

Glad you are always ready to help
