Hi Everyone,

I have a public sub it works fine with selectionsets.

But when I want to use in a fence selection set it did not work.

I get message "number of selected object:" truly but it did not set att values.

I post the code below. What am I missing?

Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime

Public Class Class1
    <CommandMethod("hs")> _
    Public Sub gget()

        Dim acDocEd As Editor = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor
        Dim entOpt As PromptEntityOptions = New PromptEntityOptions("Pick a polyline:")
        entOpt.AllowNone = True
        Dim spoly As PromptEntityResult = acDocEd.GetEntity(entOpt)
        Dim acCurDb As Database = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database
        If spoly.Status = PromptStatus.None Then
            acDocEd.WriteMessage("Selection invalid!...")
        End If

        Using acTrans As Transaction = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
            Dim obj As DBObject = acTrans.GetObject(spoly.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite)

            If TypeOf (obj) Is Polyline Then
                Dim poly As Polyline = CType(obj, Polyline)
                Dim opt As New Point3d
                Dim sel_fence As New Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry.Point3dCollection
                For ii = 0 To poly.NumberOfVertices - 1
                    opt = poly.GetPoint3dAt(ii)
                    sel_fence.Add(opt)
                Next

                Dim acTypValAr(0) As TypedValue
                acTypValAr.SetValue(New TypedValue(DxfCode.Start, "INSERT"), 0)
                Dim acSelFtr As SelectionFilter = New SelectionFilter(acTypValAr)
                Dim prselres As PromptSelectionResult = acDocEd.SelectFence(sel_fence, acSelFtr)

                If prselres.Status = PromptStatus.OK Then
                    Dim acSSet As SelectionSet = prselres.Value
                    Dim nn As Integer = 0
                    For Each acSSObj As SelectedObject In acSSet
                        SetAttribute(acSSObj.ObjectId, "BLOCKNAME", "ATTNAME", nn.ToString)
                        nn = nn + 1
                    Next
                    acDocEd.WriteMessage("Number of objects selected: " & acSSet.Count.ToString())
                End If
            End If
        End Using
    End Sub

    Public Sub SetAttribute(ByVal BlockID As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectId, ByVal blckname As String, ByVal AttTag As String, ByVal AttVal As String)

                myBlckRef = BlockID.GetObject(OpenMode.ForWrite)
                If myBlckRef.IsDynamicBlock Then
                    myBlckTable = myTrans.GetObject(myBlckRef.DynamicBlockTableRecord, OpenMode.ForRead)
                Else
                    myBlckTable = myTrans.GetObject(myBlckRef.BlockTableRecord, OpenMode.ForRead)
                End If

                If String.Compare(myBlckTable.Name, blckname, True) = 0 Then
                    myAttColl = myBlckRef.AttributeCollection

                            myAttRef.TextString = AttVal.ToString
                        End If
                    Next
                End If
                myTrans.Commit()
            End Using
        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try
    End Sub
End Class

Hi,

you are working with nested transactions, that is a little bit more critical and you have to be careful commiting a sub-transaction, but not commiting the top-transaction.

As a first try do also a commit of the transaction in your primary sub "ssget"

HTH, - alfred -
