    What is the way to find out the type of object that you have, ie: line arc
    polyline circle, etc?

    Thanks,

    Devin

    How about vla-get-objectname or dxf assoc 0?

    if you were in vb, you could use typeof
    If TypeOf (vobj) Is AcadLine then
    ....

    but as far as I know in lisp you can only read the objectname
    (cond
    (
    (= "AcDbLine"(vlax-get-property vobj 'Objectname))
    ....
    )
    (= "AcDbArc"(...etc

    );cond
