okay already found a great solution.
follow the tutorial in this link:
http://modthemachine.typepad.com/my_weblog/begging-api/
copy and paste this vb code,
Public Sub DebugObject()
Dim oDoc As Document
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oObj As Object
Set oObj = oDoc.SelectSet.Item(1)
Stop
End Sub
select coil and run code
add a watch?
now you can read out all the properties of the coil object.
the one i needed was.
AxisDirectionReversed
so problem solved!!!!
