DBX & Xdata

[Anonymous]

pasted below is the entget of the same exact block object from a dbx doc.

each time it returns a different list, one NOT containing the attached
xdata, the next one WITH attached xdata. it will consistently repeat this
pattern on the SAME object.

are there known issues with retrieving xdata from objects in a dbx document?

It has been noted that using non-ActiveX methods to obtain data in a ODBX
document may, or may not, yield valid results. To get the Xdata, use the
GetXData method.

(vlax-invoke ww1 "*" 'getXdata 'xcode 'xvalue)

Then inspect the return values in the variables xcode & xvalue

hi Jeff,

Command: !ww1
#

(vlax-invoke ww1 "*" 'getXdata 'xcode 'xvalue)
*Cancel*
ActiveX Server returned the error: unknown name: "*"

thanks for your time, any suggestions?
