bind xrefs

Code that I have been using for a while seems to be having a problem that
I'm 99% sure was not there before. I'm using the bind method for a block
that is an external reference, and I'm using the FALSE parameter to bind the
xref without the prefix garbage attached to the layer names. However the
false parameter does not seem to be working and I'm getting the prefix
grarbage anyway. I've looked around and found no info on this.

Please Help!
Here's my line o' code:

myXref.Bind False

thank you very much,
Edward

 

Edward,
Looks like the help file says you've got it backward.....

object.Bind(bPrefixName)

bPrefixName

Boolean; input-only

TRUE: Symbol names are not prefixed.

FALSE: Symbol names are prefixed with <blockname>$x$.

 

Interesting... the following is cut and pasted right out of my help file


object.Bind(bPrefixName)
Object
Block
The object or objects this method applies to.
bPrefixName
Boolean; input-only
TRUE: Symbol names prefixed with <blockname>$x$.
FALSE: Symbol names are not prefixed.

Looks like the AutoCAD Gnomes have got into my machine again!
I tried it your way and it works!
thx
Edward

 

Sorry to barge in but I have AcadMap 2000 AcadMap 2004 side by side on the same machine so I looked at the help files in each.
AutoCAD Map 2000 says:
bPrefixName Boolean; input-only

TRUE: Symbol names prefixed with <blockname>$x$.

FALSE: Symbol names are not prefixed.

AutoCAD Map 2004 says:
bPrefixName

Boolean; input-only

TRUE: Symbol names are not prefixed.

FALSE: Symbol names are prefixed with <blockname>$x$.

 

Thanks for the input. However, that doesn't explain why my 2000 software has
decided to behave like 2004 software

and anyway, what is Autodesk thinking?!?

same machine so I looked at the help files in each.
