Have you tried late binding the Map object with,

dim acadapp as AcadApplication

dim amobj as object

set acadapp = getobject(, "autocad.application")

set amobj =
acadapp.getinterfaceobject("autocadmap.application")

Hi BabuRao,

In VB to make the your code run without any errors you should use late

binding(which I guess you are doing). Please run this code wherever you have
problems and check if pProj is
nothing or not.

Private Sub
Command1_Click()
Dim pAcadApp As AutoCAD.AcadApplication
Dim pMapApp As
Object
Dim pProj As Object

Set pAcadApp = GetObject(,
"AutoCAD.Application")

Set pMapApp =
pAcadApp.GetInterfaceObject("AutoCADMAP.Application")

Set pProj =
pMapApp.Projects(0)
End Sub

For more help on Map API you need to install the Object Arx for Map and look
for .chm (For example acmaparx.chm) files in the instillation directory.

To view the ActiveX Automation API Help, double-click the AcMapAtm.chm
file in the Autodesk Map 2000i \Help folder.

If you are ADN member you can download the required information from
adn.autodesk.com

You need to enter the 'AutoCAD Map 2000i API' as a search string in the
adn.autodesk.com and you notice bunch of matched items.

One of such item is http://adn.autodesk.com/techsupp/nodes/120015.htm

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ramana Kumar

hi ramana,

thanx for ur response

like i've worked on the code which u have given me...
it is working without any errors...but the
properties of pProj are not coming...but i want the properties of AutoCAD Map,

it is working bcoz u've declared the pMapApp as object...but in the help file it was written that
it should be declared as AutoCADMap...

so please differentiate me between these two
and also i want the properties of pMapApp...
so please help me in that...

thanx in advance
