Explode Programatically Created Blocks

For some reason, with AutoCAD 2005, a program that I wrote under 2000i and 2002 will now no longer work correctly. It fails whenever I try to explode a block I created programatically by adding it to the block definitions table of the drawing and then inserting that block throughout the drawing by name. Any ideas why this might be the case? The program crashes giving an "invalid input" message.

 

Kind of hard to discern without code - post your routine and then maybe we
can help.

dim insPT(0 to 2) as Double
dim blockObj as AcadBlock

insPT(0) = 0#
insPT(1) = 0#
insPT(2) = 0#

'Add the block to the drawing block definitions.
Set blockObj = ThisDrawing.Blocks.Add(insPT, "LOM_BLOCK")

'Add some things to the block using blockObj.addLine(...)
'and blockObj.addText(...)

Set ObjBlockRef = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.InsertBlock(insPT, "LOM_BLOCK", Settings.lmScale, Settings.lmScale, #, 0#)

'Later:

Dim arrayExpBlock As Variant

arrayExpBlock = ObjBlockRef.Explode

The really strange thing is that this works under 2000i and 2002, but not 2005.

 

Hi atmyers

Because of a (reported) bug in A2k4/A2k5, explode method will fail
with NUS blocks.
Sorry, that's all I've got from A'desk.
As an alternative, you can use SendCommand Explode...>¦-(

Cheers

 

What's an NUS block?

 

Non-uniformly scaled, that did it. All I had to do was change the z-insertion scale to be the same as both the x and the y and it was able to be exploded. Thanks for your help

 

Welcome...¦-)
