Does anybody know of an issue or situation
where the <.position> property of a sketched
symbol will return 0,0 instead of its position on the sheet?
IV8 Pro.SP1.

It's only a problem with the sketchedsymbols inserted manual. If the symbol
is inserted with code the position.x and position.y are working fine. (in
cm)

I can insert any sketched symbol manual and retrieve the X and Y positions,
so I doubt that's the problem.

It does seem that symbols inserted with code do
return a position property other than 0,0, on my
installation anyway.
But this it is not in sheet coordinates, it must be
definition sketch coordinates!.
But why is the position property working correctly
on some installations and not others.?
Is it possible that Autodesk can clear this up.
It has been going on quite a while now.

The coordinate are in cm.
Strange thing is that the code is working today ok ?!?
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim blad As Sheet
Set blad = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet
Dim rev3 As SketchedSymbol
aantschetsen = blad.SketchedSymbols.Count
For i = 1 To aantschetsen
schetsnaam = UCase(blad.SketchedSymbols.Item(i).Definition.Name)
If schetsnaam = "REV3" Then
Set rev3 = blad.SketchedSymbols.Item(i)
puntX = rev3.Position.X
puntY = rev3.Position.Y
End If
Next
.........
End Sub

A long shot:
I did made the default.ivb in Inv. 8 Pro, then updated Inv. Pro to sp1. This
didn't solve the problem.
Then I used the default.ivb on an Inv. 8 (no Pro) version and changed a
little bit.
Back on the Inv. 8 Pro it was working like it should.

Not sure what you are getting at Jan, but tried it all
anyway without any luck.
Have tried on both IV8 Pro SP1 and IV7.
Have tried the default.ivb without success.
Does anybody know the best way to contact
Autodesk regarding API functionality to get some
feedback on this?
