Index is occupied or out of range

Python, Perl and Golang Python

I’ve inherited some legacy python from a previous dev.
Fortunately, they have left a link to the original blog post that was used as a starting point.
But I think I’m hitting a syntax error in the parts they tried to modify.
Specifically at line 96 its saying index is occupied or out of range

That screen shot is impossible to read, but it looks like this line?

ele = eleMarker.CreateElevation(doc, doc.ActiveView.Id, arrowPos)

That would probably mean that doc.ActiveView.id doesn’t exist in the doc structure. I see the object being instantiated, but I don’t see anything which would cause the object to be initialized.

I think you are right, still studying the original blog post to understand where they are setting it at, but management wants another script before I can get back to testing this one. Thanks for the feedback.
