In fact you made me realize that the getPointAtDist functions, work as I expected they would. So I found out there was something wrong with my code. As far as I was using the point to draw a line, with the LINE command, I realized that it is obeying the OSNAP settings!, so it would snap the point at the nearest vertex. Instead I added the line to the database through an AcDbLine object, and it works now!<BR /> <BR /> Thank you very very very much again Mr. Cooney.<BR /> <BR /> Regards, Omid Manikhi Fri, 26 Aug 2005 04:41:00 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/objectarx-forum/getpointatdist-to-return-a-non-vertex-point-on-the-polyline/m-p/1413255#M25642 Anonymous 2005-08-26T04:41:00Z
