getDXFnumber()

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

               code As Integer ) As Number 

Argument	Type	Description
