Insert Block Exploded

[Anonymous]

Ok, I've never noticed this before but it's cause a few problems now.
If I use (command "-Insert" "*blockname" '(0 0) "" "") to insert a block
exploded then the next time I use the insert dialog box the explode box is
checked.
How do I reset this in my routine?

(vl-registry-write
(strcat
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\"
(vlax-product-key)
"\\Profiles\\"
(getvar "cprofile")
"\\Dialogs\\insert_dialog"
)
"Explode"
0
)

Thanks Jason
Should of known it wouldn't be pretty.
Would it be better and is there a way to use vl to insert the block exploded
or will I end up with the same problem.

You could insert > explode > last > (ssget "p")

I'd probably just modify the registry. Write a simple
function to toggle that value and call it done.

I may have to do that. The VL function is changing the registry but the
insert dialog still comes up with explode checked.
May be a Vista thing

This is what I have:

(initdia)
(command "._insert" '(0 0) "" "")
(while (> (getvar "cmdactive") 0)
(command pause)
)
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(setq Ent (entget (entlast)))
(entdel (entlast))
(setq bname (cdr (assoc 2 Ent))
)
(if bname
(command "-Insert" (strcat "*" bname) '(0 0) "" ""))
(setq c1 (entlast))

Must be. Seems to work fine in XP (using 2008 and 2009)

When you change the registry it doesn't always change within the current Acad session, at least that is my experience.

It is strange. If I change it manually in the registry it works but if I use
vl-registry-write it doesn't do anything to the dialog.

Another thing you might try: After Inserting the Block exploded [and, if necessary as implied by
further posts, doing whatever with the pieces], Insert something (anything) *not* exploded, then
immediately Erase or (entdel) the Last entity. I would think that would uncheck the explode box.

Thanks Kent. That may work for me also.
