    Default Accessing object properties with an objectID

    Beginner Question:
    I have a selectionset of objectIds, i guess its called an objectidcollection. How can i get the layer of each of these? I thought something like myObjectID.layer would work but it doesnt. I also tried creating an Object using:
    Object myNewObj = objID.(GetObject (OpenMode.ForRead) as Object

    and then using:
    myNewObj.layer

    but that doesnt work either. Im sure this is very simple but i cant figure it out or find example code like this anywhere.

    Thanks for any help.

    Ok, figured it out. I have to cast the object to an Entity then use myEnt.layer.
    Am i supposed to answer my own questions if i figure them out? Or delete the thread? Or just let it be?

    Thankx

    Glad you got it sorted; we all need help sometimes, but figuring things out for ourselves is the best way to learn.

    Answering your own questions helps someone else down the line save time, which is always appreciated.
