    Hi,

    I have been exploring plotstyles for a client. The online documentation
    says that the plotstyle is a property of an object, but I cannot see it
    when I do an entget on the object.

    How is this property accessed?

    Thanks.

    Ian,

    You can get the plot style name like this:

    (setq vobj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nSelect: "))))
    (vlax-get vobj 'PlotStyleName) ;returns the name

    Also try: (vlax-dump-object vobj) which will list all the object's properties in the
    text window. Any property available can be retrieved by supplying the property name
    as a quoted symbol, as above.
