Select Dyn blocks by code

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Once inserted a dynamic block, it can be found by "ssetObj.SelectOnScreen gpCode, dataValue" code like it always worked. Now the dynamic block is rotated with the grip, and I can't select anymore that block with code.
I have tried: (1)
Dim gpCode(1) As Integer
Dim dataValue(1) As Variant
gpCode(0) = 0
dataValue(0) = "insert"
gpCode(1) = 2
dataValue(1) = "_Speaker02"
or (2)
Dim gpCode(0) As Integer
Dim dataValue(0) As Variant
gpCode(0) = 2
dataValue(0) = "_Speaker02"

Question:
How to select by code dynamic blocks that were dynamically changed ?

Thank you.

Johan

I just dealt with this yesterday. It seems as soon as the first modification is made to a dynamic block, the block is converted to an anonymous block, but the "EffectiveName" property retains the name of the original block.

What I did is filter for INSERTS using the NAME I was looking for, plus the NAME of [`*U*] (to find anonymous blocks). Then filter the list of anonymous blocks, using the "EffectiveName" property to search for your desired block name.
