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??

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