The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Automating AutoCAD - get block attributes objectdbx method...

Asked by LittleOleMeDesigns in AutoCAD Software, .NET, Visual Basic Programming

Tags: AutoCAD, VB.Net, Visual Basic

I am trying to read block attributes out of autocad with the objectdbx method. I've it working successfully to a point.. in my code below, I'm connected to AutoCAD, I've opened the drawing, and I'm reading the blocks.

It's reading the blocks and putting them in the datagridview, but where there are two of a block in the file, it's only picking up one of them.

Also, how can I can get custom Attributes of the block?

             Dim Block As AXAUTO15Lib.AcadBlock
            For Each Block In V_AutoCadInterfaceObject.Blocks
                If Block.Name.ToString = "START" Then
 
                    DataGridView1.Rows.Add()
                    DataGridView1.Rows(CurrentDataGridView1Row).Cells(0).Value = Block.Name.ToString
                    CurrentDataGridView1Row = CurrentDataGridView1Row + 1
 
                End If
 
            Next Block
