GetPoint with Enter states "Invalid Point" instead of returning – Change in behavior

By Wayne Brill

Issue

I am using the GetPoint method. (AutoCAD COM interface using late binding). In AutoCAD 2010 and in previous versions hitting enter when prompted for a point would return. In 2011 instead of returning, "Invalid Point" is printed on the command line. Is there a way to allow Enter to return using GetPoint () in AutoCAD 2011 and later versions?

Solution

This change in behavior is considered to be correct. If you need Enter to be accepted with GetPoint make a call to InitializeUserInput(0) of the Utility object before using GetPoint().
