How would I Explode an AutoCAD Table object? I have created a sset of
tables, and wish to explode them into individual entities.
Any clues about how I should obtain this?

Thanks,
Dan

'code snippet

Dim Ent As AcadEntity
Dim oTable As AcadTable
Dim oSet As AcadSelectionSet

FilterType(0) = 0
FilterData(0) = "ACAD_TABLE"

Set oSet = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.Add("DeleteTable")
oSet.Select acSelectionSetAll, , , FilterType, FilterData

For Each Ent In oSet
Set oTable = Ent
oTable.Explode 'obviously this will not work

Out of curiosity, why would you want to do that?

if you want the data, can't you get it from the Table object?

Thank you for the input. The request is to simply explode tables through
vba, without the use of sendcommand.

Possible? I havnt found a method yet.

Err.. Not sure what that's meant to mean, but...

We spent years trying to get AutoDESK to implement something along the lines of a single entity
like TABLE & then you want to take it back to line & text!!

My question is why?
I believe there are ways to get the info you require without exploding.
What is it you require?

Thank for the reply.

Crickets was a joke refering to silence, meaning no answer.

I need to import the drawing into an application, and the tables do not
import properly. I simply need lines and text.
