Check Knowledge Base item 8

The knowledgebase is by search term only now, on the 'new look' website. What search term did you use?

Jon Grimshaw

Just do a search with no search phrase and it will list all the items.

This is how to reference the application object: GetObject(, "BricscadApp.AcadApplication")The related knowledgebase item is titled "How to create a reference to the Application object in COM" and can be found using this URL: http://www.bricsys.com/common/knowledge/topic.jsp?id=196Kind regards

I just search "V8". Seems to whittle it down to just items relevant to Ver8, which are too numerous to peruse.Jerry
