modify entity during an open dialoge box

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I use this under a button to rotate a block during an open dialoge box.

(entmod (subst (cons 50 (+ (rng (cdr (assoc 50 (entget enm)))) tel))
(assoc 50 (entget enm)) (entget enm))) (entupd enm)

It works, but the rotation of the block, wil only get visible when I
reposition the dialogebox.

Can it be made to make the block rotate instantly?

Hope someone can help.

AFAIK, no.

You could simply hide the dialog box when you press the button to rotate the block and restore it afterwards.
It may happen so quickly that it is essentially invisible.

Try this:

add (vl-load-com) at the start of your function and call

(vla-ZoomScaled
(vlax-get-acad-object)
1.0 acZoomScaledRelative
)

after each entmod - this "refreshes" the screen.

I do this sort of function differently - hide the dialog box and check for mouse input, right click rotates it one increment, left click returns to the dialog.

I thought it would flip to much, but I can barely see it.

Thanx!
