Is there a way to "get" a shapefile's database location for use in a macro? I have tiles that denote extents of aerial photography and I want to pick a tile and have the aerial appear on top of it. But to do that, I'll need to mapiinsert and call the "location" found under "Feature Properties" on the Properties palette. I've done a (setq entList(entget (car (entsel)))) and picked the .shp but the location (of the aerial photo) doesn't come up. It does work to just copy/paste from the table as murph described (very well) here: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-map-3d-general/using-location-in-feature-properties-to-mapiins...
@Anonymous , no. I didn't get anything to work on that front. But I did obtain a MrSID image of the area. I was using geotiffs before. Now I just use that one file because it doesn't seem to slow me down at all.
