Lynn – RTKWORD isn't an error; it's an exception case, but not necessarily an error. When you use ads_entmake() to finish a Block Definition by supplying an ENDBLK entity, the RTKWORD status is returned so that you can use ads_getinput() to retrieve the Block's name. This isn't important for ordinary Blocks, but it becomes important if you're creating "anonymous" Blocks; this is the only way you'll determine what "name" to use when creating Inserts of that Block. On the Insert/Polyline… are you also creating the Polyline with ads_entmake()? Have you successfully created the Seqend before going on to the Insert? If so, you may have found a bug; I don't recall problems having been reported in this area…
