My troubles with DXF stuff....

I have been trying to alter the 10 group on an aligned dimension to oblique
it (It appeared to be the one that changed after i used the oblique command
with the dim prompt)

Anyway, I manage to create the list, but when i go to entmod it, nothing
happens, the new number isn't put over the old one....mind you, this is the
first time i've ever tried to use entmod, entget, etc.....

;;dxf 10 changes when obliqued. Pick 3 points, create aligned w/
;;vlisp stuff. then try to change 10 based on 3rd point:

(setq pt1 (getpoint "\nSpecify first point: "))
(setq pt2 (getpoint pt1 "\nSpecify second point: "))
(setq pt3 (getpoint pt2 "\nSpecify oblique point: "))

(setq newisodim
(vla-AddDimAligned
mspace
(vlax-3d-point
pt1
)
(vlax-3d-point
pt2
)
(vlax-3d-point
pt3
)

)
)
(setq entName (entlast))

;;Not entirely sure why I need this, but when it's removed, It doesn't work
right.
(vlax-put-property newisodim 'TextInsideAlign :vlax-false)


(setq ed (entget entname))
(setq ed (subst (cons 10 pt3) (assoc 10 ed) ed ))
(princ ed)
(entmod ed)


;;the (princ ed) looks fine, and shows the new number
;;but when i
;(assoc 10 (entget (car (entsel))))
;;I get the old number,

 

I didn't try your code, so I'm guessing.....

after the ENTMOD use ENTUPD to update the entity

 

entupd is just a regen function.

When i entget the modified entity, i'm getting the old value, which means
that the new value isn't being put into the dimension....

maybe I should just use entmake?
