I'm building an application for isometric dimensioning. I can entmake all the normal arrow heads without any problem. I also can entmake an ellipse. But when I tried to entmake a solid ellipse I got stuck. Eventualy I want to entmake the solid ellipse (or hatch) into a block. When I draw an ellipse and create a solid hatch of it I see this data : Select object: ((-1 . ) (0 . HATCH) (330 . 7ef01cf8>) (5 . 22AC) (100 . AcDbEntity) (67 . 0) (410 . Model) (8 . 0) (100 . AcDbHatch) (10 0.0 0.0 0.0) (210 0.0 0.0 1.0) (2 . SOLID) (70 . 1) (71 . 1) (91 . 1) (92 . 1) (93 . 1) (72 . 3) (10 0.0 0.0 0.0) (11 -0.612372 3.74958e-017 0.0) (40 . 0.57735) (50 . 0.0) (51 . 6.28319) (73 . 1) (97 . 1) (330 . name: 7ef03488>) (75 . 1) (76 . 1) (98 . 1) (10 0.0 0.0 0.0) (450 . 0) (451 . 0) (460 . 0.0) (461 . 0.0) (452 . 0) (462 . 1.0) (453 . 2) (463 . 0.0) (63 . 5) (421 . 255) (463 . 1.0) (63 . 2) (421 . 16776960) (470 . LINEAR)) after group 97 is the name of the ellipse. So I entmade the ellipse and tried to add its entity number as a 330 group into the entmake for the hatch. And this doesn't seem to be possible. The only other way seems to be converting the ellipse to a point-list or just use the standard autocad commands but I just want to know if it is possible at all to pass an entity name as boundary data to entmake or not. Anyone? RLX
