How to get boundaries of drawing? Drawing extents.

Anonymous — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 12:03:49 GMT

Hi,
I need to measure how large my drawing is, is this possible? When i do zoom extents or plot extents, the size of that area is what i need.
Also, can i get the size of a block somehow?

the simplest way would be to get system variable
EXTMAX and EXTMIN

size=2>Application.GetSystemVariable("EXTMAX"["EXTMIN"])

For the size of blockreference (or any
entity),

Entity.GeomExtents (2005/6)

Entity.GeometricExtents (2007 on)

style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
