Use VLA-GET to return insertion point of a PDF Overlay

[Anonymous]

Anyone know if a way to use vla-get in Autolisp to return the insertion point of a PDF overlay?

I'm just planning my program, but I've found that I can get the width (vla-get-width) and height (vla-get-height) of the PDF overlay with no problem, and vla-get-position doesn't work; no other vla-get function seems to match what I'm looking for.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

(safearray-value (variant-value (vla-get-position (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nPick PDF Underlay..."))))))

Thanks Marko!

Have a great day!

For some VLA Properties, the (vlax-get) function conveniently returns them directly in the form you are likely to want them in, without the need for extracting from safearray/variant intermediates, and therefore with considerably less code:

(vlax-get (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nPick a PDF: "))) 'Position)

Many thanks Kent!  I greatly appreciate streamlined code!
