Hi,
No, my code does not have this problem. As you know arrays cannot be passed
by value to a function or sub. Usually what happens is that once the entity
is created the trouble manifests itself, variables change value, the array
is no longer there. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I am using
AutoCAD 2000 on Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 5.
