Is continuous a proper linetype?

Hi
A2k2

Why does this return the error: Key not Found?

<snip>
LtName = "continuous"
Set LtypeObj = ThisDrawing.Linetypes.Item(LtName) ' find linetype
Debug.Print Err.Description

in a completely purged dwg the count method returns a total of 3 linetypes:
Bylayer,Byblock & Continuous.

Any ideas as to what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance

Dave,

Here is your corrected code. My suspicion is you using Option Explicit. Frankly, I don't understand how the code ran at all.

Option Explicit

Public Sub Test() Dim ltname As String Dim ltypeobj As AcadLineType &nbsp;&nbsp;ltname = "continuous" &nbsp;&nbsp;Set ltypeobj = ThisDrawing.Linetypes.Item(ltname) ' find linetype &nbsp;&nbsp;Debug.Print Err.Description End Sub

 

It's too early in the morning and I didn't check my grammar before I send my last post. So here is what I meant to say.

"My suspicion is you are not using Option Explicit."
