Length and SelectOnScreen Pbm!!

[Anonymous]

Hello,

i'm trying to create a routine which determinate the length of a polyligne that i've slected with the selectonscreen method

1) In fact, as a newbe, i don't really know if it's possible.
2) i just know to method to determinate the lentgh of an polyligne : lenghten and dstr ; but i don't know the startpoint and the endpoint.
3) is it possible to have the coordinate of the polyligne just in selecting it?

i'm lost !! 😞

Thanks for your help

Here is what you need straight from the help file - I combined the sample code for SelectOnScreen and Object.Length [took all of 2 minutes]: Sub Example_SelectOnScreen() ' This example adds objects to a selection set by prompting the user ' to select ones to add. ' Create the selection set Dim ssetObj As AcadSelectionSet Set ssetObj = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.Add("TEST_SSET") ' Add objects to a selection set by prompting user to ' select on the screen ssetObj.SelectOnScreen 'add selectionset iteration Dim oEnt As AcadObject For Each oEnt In ssetObj Msgbox "Entity length = " & oEnt.Length Next End Sub -- ___________________________ Mike Tuersley CADalyst's AutoCAD Clinic Rand IMAGINiT Technologies

Hi Mike,

I've forgotten to tell that i'm working in vba 6.0 and autocad 2000i. Unfortunately i've tried your code and it didn't work 'cause the property .Length doesn't exist with an AcadObject. The help file said that the property .length is only for line and not pline.

thanks for helping

Sorry, you are right that 2000i makes a difference:)
