What am i doing wrong?

I am not sure what i am doing wrong here but in the function below "i" is
always set to 2 no matter how many attributes the block has.

(setq blockobj (vlax-ename->vla-object blockent)
attriblist (vla-getattributes blockobj)
attriblist (vlax-variant-value attriblist)
i (vlax-safearray-get-dim attriblist)
ret nil
) ;_ end of setq

 

It was returning "1" but my loop ran twice. Thanks that fixed my problem.

 

I'm unsure of why you get 2, as it should be 1. The method
"getattributes" returns a one dimensional array of attributes. If you
want to know how many attributes there are, there are two ways to get
that.

Either:
(1+ (- (vlax-safearray-get-u-bound attriblist
1)(vlax-safearray-get-l-bound attriblist 1)))
or
(length (vlax-safearray->list attriblist))

HTH,

You're welcome, glad I could help.
