Conversion OLE object to STATIC type

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 20:54:05 GMT

Hi all,

I have a problem with converting OLE objects to STATIC type.
According to http://www.autodesk.com/techpubs/autocad/acadr14/dxf/ole2frame_al_u05_c.htm:

71 OLE object type, 1 = link, 2 = embedded, 3 = static
I should just change the 71 dxf group to 3.

Or use:

(vla-put-OleItemType objOle 3)

But none of above works. OLE is still EMBEDED.

How can I force OLE to change its type?

regards,
Warzyk

I really don't know the answer, but I recall that sometimes vla methods don't work.

Instead of
 (vla-put-OleItemType objOle 3)
try
(vlax-put objOle 'OleItemType 3)
