GetObject vs GetObjectEx

[Mike24 (Mike)]

What’s the difference between GetObject vs GetObjectEx?

[diff-arch]

I think GetObject is newer and works internally a little different than GetObjectEx.

why Do you need a second topic ?

Closest End Point

How do I get the closest point (start or end) of a curve when it is selected by the following code. When the user selects the curve if the starting point of the curve is the closest to the cursor then I want to know that point. If the end point is the closest to the cursor at that point then I want to know that point instead. lnl = rs.GetObject(“Select the left curve”, 4, False)

Ex = Extended Informataion ?

GetObject → just returns the GUID of the object

GetObjetctEx → returns an array full of information - see:

Because it’s a different topic, not related to the first.
