Hello nandhumca,

If the object is being drawn by the script, you can save it to a variable and modify it.

There is also the DrawObjects collection which you can loop through.

Hi, it need not be script drawn object. My aim capture the mouse click event on particular drawing object. How to capture of mouse click event on any drawing object?

Hello nandhumca,

There would be no supported way of capturing a mouse click event on any drawing object. This may be possible using unsupported code on a custom drawing tool script.

Below is a link to a forum post that may give you some ideas.
