Problem in vla-explode method

[rajat126]

Hi,
This is Rajat here and I have a little problem with vla-explode method.
When I am trying to explode a block with default X , Y & Z scale factor, there is no problem. But if I change any of the default scale factor, It is not working. It produces an error message.... "error: Automation Error. Invalid Input."

Can you give me an idea that I can solve this problem ?

Rajat,


I may be wrong, but I don't believe you can explode a block to a scale.

[kwbrown]

(setq objBlock (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel))))
(vla-explode objBlock )

This works for me

on

blocks inserted with unequal X, Y, Z scales
.. also on mirrored blocks with unequal X, Y, Z scales

First make sure your EXPLMODE system variable is set to 1. If it's 0 then blocks must be equally scaled.

Good Luck

I didn't know that.

Thats a good one to know.
