<br>I too am working on this same issue as we speak. It is my goal to automate<br>AutoCAD using Python. I've had success using C# (.net) for Automation but I<br>haven't given up with Python yet. I have done searches here and there on
<br>various search engines and haven't come up with any complete answers on<br>passing 3 doubles as an array of Variants. This as you see doesn't happen<br>automatically as it should and Mark has mentioned that idispatch invoke()
<br>manually is the way to correctly pass them. I have yet to master invoke and<br>all the params. What I need is a working example of Invoke and its<br>parameters. It seems AutoCAD object model is easy to decifer and the
<br>passing and retrieval of a Variant(s) in Python are my only stepping stones<br>to complete a successful automation. I am continually monitoring this<br>mailing list and in my research I will pass on any information that I
<br>uncover.<br><br>Drkick16<br><br><br></blockquote></div><br clear="all">Drkick16,<br><br>Thanks for your reply. I agree with you that AutoCAD object model is easy ot decifer. Especially if you've used other programming language(s) on it. I recently bought Mark's book "Python Programming on Win32". Havn't really had chance to go through it. I'll see if there is answer in the book and post back if I find something useful.
