The original; message should have read:
I am trying to use VBA to cycle through a drawing containing LWPolylines
with object data attached. I am able to generate the selection set and use
the Record.Init method to check for object data, read the data to isolate
the items to hatch, but when I try to use the Hatch.AppendOuterLoop
LWPolyline, I get either an invalid input error if the Record.Init is used
with true for editing, or a item is open for read if this method is set to
false.
I figured that I could check for the data in the object data tables using an
if..then, and then close the data table, but I don't see a method like this.
Here is the portion of the code that is not working correctly. At this
point, objEnt1(i) is a LWPolyline obtained by cycling through a selection
set.
bln = objODRecords.Init(objEnt1(i), True, False)
If objODRecords.Record.Item(2).Value = 18 Then
Set objPline(0) = objEnt1(i) 'set the AcadEntity for the
hatch outer loop
Set objHatch =
ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddHatch(acHatchPatternTypePreDefined, "SOLID", True)
objHatch.AppendOuterLoop objPline
End IF
Am I missing something simple? Am I trying to do something the hard way? any
help is really appreciated. Thanks - mike
