I have a third party arx app loaded. When I pick the custom object none of the properties show up in the dockable properties pages. And worse yet, I have a vba program that selects the object and passes it to a funscion (as Object) and the .Handle property is not recognized. This program was working fine for years on several workstations but now on this one station this is what is happening. I can get my program working by specifically setting the incoming Object to AcadEntity, then it recognizes the .Handle property and works fine but the selected entity will still not show up in the properties pages? One more note: When this first happened this morning, I re-installed Autocad 2002 using the repair option and it worked for a little while but stopped again. Is there a setting or something that could be getting changed?
