If you are referring to "dragmode" then there is no simple way of doing it
in VBA. Search the NG for dragmode and you might find a solution or work
around.

thanks for your advice.
but i am sorry for i have to ask you what the meaning of the NG is.
there is also a similar problem.when we draw a line ,after selecting a point
,we are promted to select another point to finish the line.
during the operation,we can see an implying line that goes with your
cursor.how to do it in vba.
thank you.

News Group
search via Google Advanced Groups Search

In addition to Mark's answer on the Google search, you can also search the
newsgroups (NG) here on the Autodesk server. At http://discussion.autodesk.com/
you can search the newsgroups for previously posted questions. Put keywords in
the blank box and then chose search for "last 3 days, last 2 weeks, last 3
months or all". Search will bring up a list of newsgroup messages matching the
text you provide in the search box. By using the Autodesk server search engine
you will be searching all available messages not just those on your local
newsgroup cache.

Put in the specific words as the search words and chose All for the time length
of the search. Clicking on an individual topic listed in the search findings
will spread out the messages in that topic in a tree formation. The topics are
listed by date with the newest date at the top.

Hope this helps you in future questions.

 

youngman,

Look up the GetDistance command in the online help file, and run the example
program. It shows how to do the rubber-band line.

Here's a Google search of the NG for dragmode:

Good luck,
