Here is what I want Michael,

I have selected a blockreference with a specific name using a filtered selectionset (acSelectionSetAll, filter on the blockname). Now I need to know if this reference is inserted in modelspace or paperspace and if in paperspace in what layout. I haven't found an answer in VBA yet but I'm open to any sugestions!

I hate Lisp. But I've haven't found anything VBA won't do, yet. What exactly do you want to do with that information. VBA provides other means for object manipulation. Perhaps if yu say exactly what you want to do to a certain object, we can tell you how to do it in VBA. -Michael

Hi Mike98 (I hope you are more stable then the
other 98),

Here we start:

    ModelSpaceID =
ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.ObjectID;
    PaperSpaceID =
ThisDrawing.PaperSpace.ObjectID;
    SelectedOwnerID =
SelectedEntity.OwnerID;

To be completed...

Luc,

this seems to work BUT
face="Swis721 BT" size=2> :

I can get the ID of the selected object,
works fine

If I loop through the members of
ThisDrawing.Layouts and ask for their ID seperatly I get different ID'd for the
modelspaceobject and paperspaceobjects. Somehow they are not the same as with
ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.ObjectID or ThisDrawing.PaperSpace.ObjectID.

Any clue?

ThisDrawing.ObjectIdToObject(ent.OwnerId).Layout.Name

P.S.
The HTML is an absolute horror.
