[Manifold-l] Re: Problem with scripting examples

This is V7 related Jerry.  See AdamW's GeoReference thread

Beginning with V7, 'Document' is a pre-defined object just as 'Application'
was in previous versions. Generally, you do not have to go through the
ActiveDocument object. For example, you can go directly to the ComponentSet
by using this:
Set Comps = Document.ComponentSet 
 
You can get into a problem if you define a new 'Document ' variable since
that keyword is already recognized.

Greetings,

I just assumed this had something to do with 7.0, since the script worked as
is in 6.5 for me.  I'm certainly grateful for the explanation below,
as I've found the script handy.

Dear Michael,

Thanks! I tried out the second option and the script worked! 

I do believe the script examples given in the DVD and at Manifold's homepage
contain this problem, and somebody at Manifold should correct the scripts
before somebody else run into this problem later.

Hi Lee,

regarding the problem you had with the script, it is a problem with the way
they Set document in line 1. Document is an object so it should not have
been set in this manner. Try either of the following changes to the script
and it will work:

Option 1 - Change the object name from "document" to "theDocument" (and
don't forget to replace all other occurences of "document" in the script)

 Set theDocument = Application.ActiveDocument
 Set components = theDocument.ComponentSet

Option 2 - delete or comment out the first Set statement and just set the
components object. With this option you don't have to change anything else
in the script

DELETE >>>> Set theDocument = Application.ActiveDocument
Set components = Application.ActiveDocument.ComponentSet

It will work either way.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi,
I have need to create lines by azimuth and distance pairs. I looked at the
ScriptAzimuthLines scripting example but when I tried to run it, it gives an
error message "Object doesn't support this property or method 'document'
line 2". 
Can anybody tell me what does the error message mean?
Regards,
LF Lee
