getDXFnumber()

1. Synopsis
2. Syntax
3. Example 1

Synopsis

Returns the value of the DXF group code for the entity as a Number. The group code must have a numeric value. Generates an error if the handle cannot be used to find an entity, or if the group code does not exist for the entity.

Note Certain AutoCAD group codes, such as 5 (Handle) or 8 (Layer) may look numeric but are actually String-typed.

Syntax

getDXFnumber ( handle As String, _
               code As Integer ) As Number

Argument	Type	Description
handle	string	Handle of the AutoCAD entity. Must be the "modelSelf" handle, such as: first(insert_1.modelSelf) . Note: modelSelf returns a list, so you must use the first() function to retrieve only the first element.
code	integer	The DXF group code.

Example 1

Insert with DXF code 41 (X scale factor)

Intent >getDXFnumber(First(TestInsert.modelSelf), 41) 
-->2.0
