AddMInsertBlock parameters are integer instead of double

NickBrege — Wed, 13 Jul 2022 19:39:53 GMT

I am trying to use the AddMInsertBlock function to add an array of blocks to a drawing. I got it working, however the row & column spacing is not using the values I specify in the parameters. So if I specify a spacing of 3.5, for example, the block spacing gets rounded to 4.0. Visual Studio IntelliSense shows that those parameters take integers, but online documentation shows it as doubles. See attached image.

Is this an error in the API? Anyone else have this problem or know a fix? Thanks...

It seems that the .NET version of the COM wrapper has changed the parameters from the VBA version, which are doubles. Regardless, using a MINSERT is pretty old technology. Why don't you use an AssocArray like the ARRAY command does? You can search this forum for samples. And here's another.
