    I have a electrical drawing which has the HVAC as an xref overlay.
    in the HVAC drawing is a block which has attributes.
    I want to be able to pick the hvac block and get its attributes.
    Problem is when I pick it, I get the entire HVAC xref.
    when I use getsubentitiy I get the line of the block definition not the block ref.

    I will post a sample drawing in the customer-files section.
    thanks

    Have you tried searching this ng for "attributes"? I'm sure you will find
    tons of code. Also, check out help on the HasAttributes property.

    And when you pick the subentity, all objects have an OwnerID property
    inherited from the IAcadObject interface. You can use that with
    ThisDrawing.Utility.ObectIdToObject and examine its type to see if its a
    blockref.

    that is not correct.
    I have tried that and it returns the block definition not the block ref.

    Solved, I needed the context data
