Coordinates of Vertices of Region-Objects in AutoCAD

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I want to handle Region-Objects in AutoCAD. One issue is, I want to read the coordinates of the vertices. When I start an Iterator (with VBA or C#), I can’t detect an order, in which the vertices are covered.

Does anybody know, in which order the vertices are covered? It would be very helpful!

Thanks,
Jochen

What iterator are you talking about?

The problem is as follows:
We are iterating over all entities in a drawing and on finding a region we explode it. What we get back from the explode method is an array of AcadLine objects. But if we iterate over this array the AcadLine objects are not, at least to our concern, returned in any particular order. Is this true, or do we just missing something?

The reason we want to know the exact order is that we are trying to convert the region into a polyline of the exact same shape.

Thanks for any help.

That maybe so but it shouldn't prevent you from doing what you'd like to do.
You simply have to order them based on coincident vertices.
