SendStringToExecute sequence and EntLast

[david_rock]

Hello,

When I use the following code, the OK message comes before the pasteclip operation.

So I cannot then get the object that was pasted using Entlast.

doc.SendStringToExecute("._pasteclip " & strOrigin & " ", True, False, True)
MsgBox("OK")
Dim objObjectIdOLE As ObjectId = AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.EntLast

Any ideas on why this is, how I can run the code in the correct sequence and get the objectId of the pasted object?

Kind Regards

David

All calls to SendStringToExecute() are queued and executed after your command ends. You should use another way to transfer your data, like Database.Wblock() method for example if you want to copy some entities from one database to another one.

Hi,

in addition to what @FRFR1426 said, you can also try to use the Editor.Command() method which runs synchronously (requires AutoCAD 2015 or later).

doc.Editor.Command("._pasteclip, Point3d.Origin)
