Retrieve Object ID

[jseamons]

What is a way that I can retrieve information about a specific object (specifically a block) within LISP?

Hi,

Have a look at the entget function and DXF codes in the help files for starters. Do you have a specific task in mind? There are a lot of people here that can help.

Dear Jseamons,

Try:

(vl-load-com)
(setq BlkName "MyBlockName");Change this
(setq ActDoc (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-Acad-Object)))
(setq BlkCol (vla-get-Blocks ActDoc))
(setq BlkSty (vla-Item BlkCol BlkName))
(setq BlkID (vla-get-ObjectID BlkSty))

Basically I am trying to get text attributes entered in a block and then use it in another block with a field. That way the second or third or so on is linked to the initial block. I have tried some of the suggestions but I get confused with some of the code. I haven't been able to spend the time I would like to figure it out yet but I thought I would try this great resource.

You may use nentsel
(setq Txt (cdr (assoc 1 (entget (car (nentsel))))) )

: ) Happy Computing !
