Referencing an offset object

[greneebb]

Good Night All.

 

I want to reference an object after it has been created but I am unsuccessful. can anyone guide me how to achieve this objective?

 

 

Here is the code that I used. I want to close the offset object.

 

 

Dim OffsetObj As Variant

OffsetObj = JoinedPlineObj8.Offset(3)

Good evening greneebb, Good night is saying goodbye. Do a google close plines.

 

This took about 5 seconds. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/AutoCAD-ActiveX/files/GUID-C8AB9FB3-2B5C-4491-9ED7-E0A6F7EEBB3E-htm.html

Thanks.

 

 

I know how to close a Polyline. My problem is that after the polyline is offset I cannot do anything with the offset line because is does not respond to any methods. Its as thought it has no handle or accepts references

You need to look at the equivalent of (Entlast) in VBA this will return an object as an entity. Now to find an example.

Can you please explain further

I could not find a VBA get last equivalent and as I dont use VBA tried googling and the suggetsions were to use a selection set method which retrieved the last object created.

 

Often there is a need to remember the last object created and do something with it, in lisp I use (setq obj2 (entlast)) The object may have been created as you want by doing an offset.

 

I thought some one else may have posted a solution.

Good Night All.

Dim OffsetObj As Variant

OffsetObj = JoinedPlineObj8.Offset(3)

 

From the Autocad Help Offset Method

 

Return Value (RetVal)

 

Type: Variant (array of objects)

 

An array of the newly created objects resulting from the offset.

 

Thus OffsetObj is an array with 1 element containing an object so you need to extract the object from the array first then you can close it
