ActiveX - is xref clipped?

[Mark Ingram]

Hello,

Is there a way similar to

(vla-getextensiondictionary (vlax-ename->vla-object (cdr (assoc -1 XRDXF))))) 1)

that will tell me if an xref is clipped or not?

Thank you,
Mark

 

[Rudy Tovar]

Yes.

I believe it's the presences of assoc 360.

 

[Mark Ingram]

Nope. I have an unclipped xref with 360. This points to multiple references

From help:
360 Hard owner ID/handle to owner dictionary (optional) no default

360-369 Hard-owner handle; arbitrary hard ownership links to other objects within same DXF file or drawing. Translated during INSERT and XREF operations

360 Hard owner reference to IDBUFFER (multiple entries may exist)

I know that when I do a tblsearch for that object, that it returns that the boundary is the first entity in it's dxf.

 

[Mark Ingram]

Rudy,

Are you sure you know what tblsearch is doing?

It finds the record of that block. What if you have the same xref in a drawing twice, one is clipped, the other is not. Which one is tblsearch referencing? BOTH.

Therefore tblsearch cannot be giving you specific information on any one "block", ie,. the boundary dxf info.

 

[Rudy Tovar]

Sorry, but when I actually scan the xref, I get the boundary as the first entity.

 

[Mark Ingram]

Would you mind showing how you "scan"?

(tblsearch "block" xrefname) only returns 1 ename here.
