Examples

VBA:

Sub Example_AddMLine()
   ' This example adds an Mline in model space

    Dim mLineObj As AcadMLine
    Dim vertexList(0 To 17) As Double
   
    ' Define data for new object
    vertexList(0) = 4: vertexList(1) = 7: vertexList(2) = 0
    vertexList(3) = 5: vertexList(4) = 7: vertexList(5) = 0
    vertexList(6) = 6: vertexList(7) = 7: vertexList(8) = 0
    vertexList(9) = 4: vertexList(10) = 6: vertexList(11) = 0
    vertexList(12) = 5: vertexList(13) = 6: vertexList(14) = 0
    vertexList(15) = 6: vertexList(16) = 6: vertexList(17) = 6

    ' Create the line in model space
    Set mLineObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddMLine(vertexList)

    ThisDrawing.Application.ZoomAll
    
    MsgBox "A new MLine has been added to the drawing."
