FieldCode??? Is that a new one???

Why don't you explain what you're trying to do and maybe we could help you come up with a solution.

[e2002]

we known command "ddedit" can edit Text , MText ,Dimension , Insert include Attributes

about 2 years ago , i writen a program like ddedit , that can direct edit the Attributes in a Insert  object.

but now my AutoCAD upgrade to 2005/6 , and i use the new Field feature in the Attribs .

i want to enhance my old program to support the Field.

if ActiveX can't get the FieldCode , i have to try normal LISP (entget..... )

[e2002]

this is the code :

Code: [Select]


(setq esl  (nentsel)
      en   (car esl)
      el   (entget en)
      en_1 (cdr (assoc 360 el))
      el_1 (entget en_1)
      en_2 (cdr (assoc 360 el_1))
      el_2 (entget en_2)
      en_3 (cdr (assoc 360 el_2))
      el_3 (entget en_3)
      en_4 (cdr (assoc 360 el_3))
      el_4 (entget en_4)
)

You get the actual Fieldcode with that?

I recall when I played with the 2005 beta that it was convoluted similar to that, I'll see if I can find my code (in my backups, as I just rebuilt my pc) ...
