program to insert blocks on polyline verticies

(OP)
I'm looking for an editable program LISP (preferably) or VB that will place a block at every vertex of selected polylines.  Anything out there?

RE: program to insert blocks on polyline verticies

(OP)
Thanks.   I should have Googled before posting.  I got this one:

; Insert the block Weld at each polyline vertex

(defun c:wb ()

(setq
 plobj (car (entsel "\nSelect Polyline: "))
 inc 0
 )
 
 (while (<= inc (vlax-curve-getEndParam plobj))
  (command
  "_.insert"
  "weld"
  (vlax-curve-getPointAtParam plobj inc)
  "" "" ""
  )

  (setq inc (1+ inc))
 )

)

RE: program to insert blocks on polyline verticies

That appears to do the job with a minimum of code.
You might want the code to disable then re-enable osnaps; in some cases/zoom levels the insert point might go to wrong location.
If a UCS is active, that too could caue errors.
