What is the "ade_expreval" equivalent in ObjectARX (.Net)

[mapaquin]

The "ade_expreval" command evaluates an expression and extracts the information for a specific entity.
Ex:
 

(setq myobject (car (entsel "Select an object:")))
(setq value (ade_expreval myobject ".center" "point"))

This will put the center point of the circle in the "value" variable.  The "ade_expreval" command can evaluate a wide range of expressions.

I need to use an equivalent function in ObjectARX (.Net).
Is this available in the 2013 API?

Thanks

Hi Marc,

I don't think there is an equivalent of "ade_expreval" in Map ARX or .NET exists.

What are you trying to achieve ? If this is to find the Centroid, you could try the following :

AcMapUtilities:: CreateCentroids() for creating and getting centroid.

Thanks,

I am building a tool that extracts specific information from a drawing.  The tool needs to accept expressions as a prameter to extract specific data.   This is why the "ade_expreval" command was perfect for this.

Looks like I will have to use LISP, store the result in Users# variable and have fun with the "LispEnded" event handler.

Thanks for the reply.

Regards,

Marc
