CAD Block Insertion Point to Family location

Hey guys - I am looking to retrieve the insertion point of a block in an active AutoCAD file and use that to locate revit families. These are nodes from the LinkDWG package. As seen from the image below, the node within the green box works perfectly showing the layers and the layer colors. However, for some reason the node within the blue box isn’t reading CAD file. I have also attached the python file driving the ActiveX.GetCOMObjects node. OR is there an alternate way of getting insertion poin…

ActiveX.GetCOMObjects Returning Null Values?

trying to get text data from link to revit but not able to work with link… think i miss somethn bbut what ?? [image]

You can’t access text from within a DWG using the Revit API unfortunately. There are alternative options: using LISP routines in Autocad to export the text metadata to Excel, exporting the DWG within Revit to DWF then parse the file to extract the text metadata, or use COM to access a DWG from within an open session of Autocad and use the Autocad API to get the text metadata.

I think there is also a hacky way to do it through the Revit APIUI library which basically explodes the DWG as one would manually, then get the text elements before undoing the explode. However this is limited to the restrictions Revit places on exploding DWGs …and exploding should be banned outright, even if it is a controlled action by a piece of code, so I wouldn’t recommend it!
