Can't not Change HatchObjectType property in an inactive drawing.

Hi

I am writing a VBA macro to batch make slides.

While the solid hatch entities are not "Solid" at all in slides, I try to substitute them with Gradient hatch. It works in an active drawing. But when I apply it to an inactive document object, the AutoCAD collapse. Here is the message:

Fatal Error: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0000 Exception at 0h

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Alvin,
Not the answer you are looking for, but you may want to look at the thread
over in the customization newsgroup that was started on Jan. 8, 2005,
entitled "Changing Hatch PatternScale via ActiveX". In it you will find a
workaround that may, or may not, suit your needs.

Using this method, you could revise the drawings accordingly and then add
them to the documents collection for processing.

Good Luck,

 

Thanks Jeff.
