entitytype

VBA  

I autocad VBA there was the property "EntityType", this was the type of entity of an object (acad element like line ore arc). Bricscad does not know this property. How can I get the EntityType from an element in BricksCad.

Try using the ObjectName property instead.

 Yes, the property ObjectName gives me the AcDbLine, AcDbArc and AcDbCircle as answer. Then in the next lines (select case) I put the name between " " and it works. 

Thanks

some background :
In AutoCAD COM, the "EntityType" property is present, but declared as "hidden" ... so normally, that property
should not be available for access; strange enough, it is available, at least for VB/VBA.

It is the same for BricsCAD COM - but here, that property is truly "hidden", hence not accessible.

But for both systems, the "ObjectName" is the officially correct access function.
