AutoCAD Civil 3D Customization

[#1]

I am using LISP in C3D 2012.  I am trying to get the station and elevation of a point I pick in a profile view.  I found the Method that will get that info, but I can';t seem to get the syntax right.

 This is the Method;

HRESULT FindStationAndElevationAtXY(
    [in] double X,
    [in] double Y,
    [out] double * pStation,
    [out] double * pElevation,
    [out, optional] VARIANT * pInBounds
);

This is the routine I am trying but not having any luck working.

(defun C:getsta ()
  (setq ProfView (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (nentsel "\nSelect Profile View "))))
  (setq pt1 (getpoint "\nSelect Point "))
  (setq pt1X (car pt1))
  (setq Pt1Y (cadr pt1))
  (setq pstation 1.0)
  (setq pelevation 1.0)
  (vlax-invoke profview 'FindStationandElevationatXY (pt1x, pt1y, pstation, pelevation))
)

 Can someone help me get the syntax right??  Thank you,

Dave

(vlax-invoke profview 'FindStationandElevationatXY pt1x pt1y 'pstation 'pelevation)

On vacation and can't verify, but may need to add the optional out param as well:

(vlax-invoke profview 'FindStationandElevationatXY pt1x pt1y 'pstation 'pelevation 'inbounds)

Jeff, first of all, what are you doing checking the discussion groups when you are on vacation???

Next, thanks for the response.  I tried both variations, and other variable names.  The line seems to run with no errors, (I just get a nil as a response).  But pstation and pelevation are nil also.  Any other ideas?  Anyone else??

Just killing time before heading off to the next segment of this trip. :-) 

You might try (vlax-invoke-method ....) instead of the shorter version.

Jeff, obviously, the vacation isn't dulling your brain.  Adding the -method did the trick.  Thank you, now get back ot the vacation.
