Hi, all. I have problem in late binding code. Because early binding gives compile error (even reference seems correct) so I am moving to late binding in my code.
Here is my sample code:
VBA Code:
Sub LateBindingCAD()

'Declaration and late binding the application objects
Dim AcadApp As Object
Dim AcadDoc As Object
Dim AcadObj As Object
Dim LineObj As Object
Dim LineLayers(), LineCoords()
Dim i
Set AcadApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application")
Set AcadDoc = AcadApp.ActiveDocument

'Select objects in targeted layers, works fine, not important to the question
    SSName = Array("COLUMN","BEAM","WALL","FLOOR")
    For i = 0 To 3
        AcadDoc.SelectionSets.Item(SSName(i)).Delete
        AcadDoc.SelectionSets.Add SSName(i)
        FilterType(0) = 8
        FilterData(0) = SSName(i)
        AcadDoc.SelectionSets.Item(SSName(i)).Select 5, , , FilterType, FilterData
    Next i

'Extract data from selected object, by late binding the objects inside application objects
    ReDim LineLayers(100), LineCoords(100)
    i = 0
    For Each SSObj In AcadDoc.SelectionSets
        For Each AcadObj In SSObj
            If AcadObj.Layer = "COLUMN" And AcadObj.ObjectName = "AcDbLine" Then
                Set LineObj = AcadObj
                LineLayers(i) = LineObj.Layer
                LineCoords(i) = LineObj.StartPoint(0) 'error here <------------------------------------------------------------------
                i = i + 1
            End If
        Next
    Next

End Sub

The error occurs in almost last line: "LineCoords(i) = LineObj.StartPoint(0)", the error is "Run-time error '451': Property let procedure not defined and property get procedure did not return an object".
Assigning values for non-array type of this object works fine, for example the "LineLayers(i) = LineObj.Layer" works fine.
The "LineObj.StartPoint" is Double type with size of (0 To 2).

I tried couple things, but failed:
VBA Code:
'Variant array type direct assignment
Dim StartPoint()
StartPoint = LineObj.StartPoint 'error here
LineCoords(i) = StartPoint(i)

'Dummy late binding object
Dim StartPoint As Object
Set StartPoint = LineObj.StartPoint 'error here
LineCoords(i) = StartPoint(i)

Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Your code:
i=0
then LineLayers(i) and LineCooords(i)
fail with first i=0

May be let i starts from 1
i=1

Thank you but it doesn't work. i is just counter. The problem is getting value from the array of object. So, even without iteration like "x = LineObj.StartPoint(0)" also produce same error '451'.
