     How to Get Block Name from Current drawing using vb.net?

     

    Dim objEditor As Editor = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor
            Dim objDocument As Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
            Dim objDatabase As Database = objEditor.Document.Database
            Dim symbolNames As String
            Using objTransaction As Transaction = objDatabase.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
                Dim objBlockTable As BlockTable
                objBlockTable = TryCast(objTransaction.GetObject(objDatabase.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTable)

                Dim objBlockTableRecord As BlockTableRecord
                objBlockTableRecord = TryCast(objTransaction.GetObject(objBlockTable(BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace), OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTableRecord)
                For Each acObjId As ObjectId In objBlockTableRecord
                    symbolNames = acObjId.ObjectClass.DxfName
                Next

            End Using

     

    when Iam using the above code,I get all object name...but i did not get block name,instead of that i got "INSERT" as a Block name...I want to get Block name correctly...How to get it?

    Using this code, you are asking for the DXFNAME og the object class, wich is INSERT (i.e. a Block Reference).

    You will have to check the Name-property of this block refrence for what you are looking for.
