using vlax-put-property to assign true color values

[kevinl]

How does one go about assigning true color values to layers using the vlax-put-property in vlisp. I have my layer ename, I have converted it to an vla-object. I just need to find out how to enter the numbers.

Thanks

I worked around this in lisp by using command line interface for true colors. I would be interested to know if vlisp can create a rgb value to assign to to a layer using the vlax commands or if writing code in vb and calling that from vlisp is the only solution.

Hi Kevin, Yes, this can be done with VLISP. No, I don't have the time to mess with LISP this morning 🙂 This VB(A) example should be easy to translate though. Public Sub TrueColorDemo() 'Grab first entity in model space Dim ent As AcadEntity Set ent = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.Item(0) 'Get a true color object Dim trueColorObj As AcadAcCmColor Set trueColorObj = ent.TrueColor 'Set the RGB values '(Note that there are other members of this object to set the color) trueColorObj.SetRGB 128, 128, 128 'Provide the updated true color object back to the entity ent.TrueColor = trueColorObj End Sub -- Bobby C.
