Topic: filed string

[Andrea]

Hi all,..

i'm trying to know why this string do not work as field.

Code: [Select]

(setq AttText (strcat "%<\\AcObjProp Object(%<\\_ObjId 506077156672>%).TextString \\f \"%tc1\">%"))
this string work great if I cut&paste to any text without double backslashes..
it capture de valur of an block attribute.

any idea ?

I believe you need to pass the ObjectId differently.

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (itoa (vla-get-ObjectId (vlax-ename->vla-object (car attrib))))
2.

ok,...found it...

Code: [Select]

(vla-regen (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) acActiveViewport)

ppfftt    Thank you.

You can also use the UPDATEFIELD command (quicker than REGEN for large drawings) - this is typically required when populating an attribute with a field expression.
