Get entity type

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I filtering for objects based on layer as shown below.How do i know which type the entity is like whether it is arc or line or circle.Any ideas please.

Dim ss As SelectionSet

Dim idarray As ObjectId() = ss.GetObjectIds()

Dim id AsObjectId

For Each id In idarray

    Dim entity As = trLocal.GetObject(id, OpenMode.ForRead, True)

Next id

entity.GetType() will help you.

You can probably try:

For Each id In idarray
    Dim ent As Entity = trLocal.GetObject(id, OpenMode.ForRead, True)

    if (typeof ent is Arc) then

    else if (typeof ent is Line) then

    end if
Next id
