rotating region

[Anonymous]

Hi I am trying to rotate a region I created but keep getting an error 'object required ' #424. If I extrude the region then I can rotate it. I want to rotate before I extrude. I am fairly new to VBA and would appreciate any help. Thanks Bob Vetrano

usually i get that error if i didnt use the "set" command like set objRegion = however you get the region instead of just objRegion=however you get it hope that helps jm "robert vetrano" wrote in message news:40eb468f$1_3@newsprd01... > Hi > I am trying to rotate a region I created but keep getting an error 'object > required ' #424.

John I tried that. I declared the region as variant and when I use Set I get an error type mismatch. thanks Bob v "john m" wrote in message news:40eb4905$1_1@newsprd01... > usually i get that error if i didnt use the "set" command > like > > set objRegion = however you get the region > instead of just > objRegion=however you get it > > hope that helps > > jm > > "robert vetrano" wrote in message > news:40eb468f$1_3@newsprd01... > > Hi > > I am trying to rotate a region I created but keep getting an error 'object > > required ' #424.

my book here has a program to add revolved solid from a rotated region dont know if this is what you are tryin to do but their program does use a variant variable to hold the region in which case you wouldnt use set must just be something about the syntax JM ps the book is called acad2000vba by joe sutphin "robert vetrano" wrote in message news:40eb4ee3$1_1@newsprd01... > John > I tried that.

Hi Bob From the VBA Reference: Object.Rotate BasePoint, RotationAngle Object All Drawing Objects, AttributeReference The object or objects this method applies to. (...) Therefore the Rotate method requires an object not a variant: Dim TmpObj As AcadEntity Dim TmpPnt As Variant ThisDrawing.Utility.GetEntity TmpObj, TmpPnt, vbCrLf & "Select Region: " TmpObj.Rotate TmpPnt, 0.7853981 '45 degrees Cheers -- Juerg Menzi MENZI ENGINEERING GmbH, Switzerland http://www.menziengineering.ch

I would suggest that, instead of using a variant, you use an object; i.e.: Dim objRegion As AcadObject Set objRegion = ... -- Dan "robert vetrano" wrote in message news:40eb4ee3$1_1@newsprd01... > John > I tried that.
