This: (getvar "PrinterStyleSheetDir") Needs to be this: (getenv "PrinterStyleSheetDir")

Here is a bit of a hint, type this into the command line: (getvar "PrinterStyleSheetDir") and see what the result is... This will give a list of what you want I think: (setq MyObj (vla-get-Files (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object)))) (setq MyPlotStylePaths (vla-get-PrinterStyleSheetPath MyObj)) If list length = 1 then do explorer

You are right, a real odd block with gaps etc makes selecting a point to use hard, CIV3D has shrinkwrap and there is a commercial program to create a boundary around objects so a pointer line could be added and trimmed at invisible edge. Used this on point num bubble where line is trimmed to the bubble but can be any direction. It may be for "often encounter blocks with various shapes of symbols" a couple of different styles of labelling. But again trimming around a block shape is hard. A lot of people are looking for this so very useful.

Still think way better to look at the big picture. That is what customisation is about. I provided a draw multi rectangs with X in other link that is 1st step. then remember the points and draw cross section.

Very nice but why input the direction can you not imply the quadrant for the text by the pick point ? If number is nil ie 1st go ask for number maybe ? If number is on a layer then read all text and get last number and ask use this number ? If object is a block etc then can get bounding box so know distance from say centre/insert point. Had something simillar will try to find did number in a bubble square or circle with a line connecting point.
