Does anybody know how to change coordinates of polyline ? 

I know how to get the coordinates but I need to get and change one of the coordinate.

Hi,

 

Lw-Polyline or 2D-Polyline or 3D-Polyline? These are to be handled differently and if you look into the help, you can find how to modify one or more vertices.

Out of the help a sample:

 

Sub Example_Coordinate()
    ' This example creates a polyline in model space and
    ' queries and changes the coordinate in the first index position.
        
    Dim plineObj As AcadPolyline
    Dim points(0 To 14) As Double
    
    ' Define the 2D polyline points
    points(0) = 1: points(1) = 1: points(2) = 0
    points(3) = 1: points(4) = 2: points(5) = 0
    points(6) = 2: points(7) = 2: points(8) = 0
    points(9) = 3: points(10) = 2: points(11) = 0
    points(12) = 4: points(13) = 4: points(14) = 0
        
    ' Create a lightweight Polyline object in model space
    Set plineObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddPolyline(points)
    ZoomAll
    
    ' Find the coordinate in the first index position
    Dim coord As Variant
    coord = plineObj.Coordinate(0)
    MsgBox "The coordinate in the first index position of the polyline is: " & coord(0) & ", " _
        & coord(1) & ", " & coord(2)
    
    ' Change the coordinate
    coord(0) = coord(0) + 1
    plineObj.Coordinate(0) = coord
    plineObj.Update
    
    ' Query the new coordinate
    coord = plineObj.Coordinate(0)
    MsgBox "The coordinate in the first index position of the polyline is now: " & coord(0) & ", " _
        & coord(1) & ", " & coord(2)
    
End Sub

 

Good luck, - alfred -
