"eInvalidInput" error when using the AutoCad 2019 version of AccoreConsole

We are running AutoCad 2018 currently but will be moving to 2019 soon. When I run the same script and drawing flags with the AutoCad 2019 version of AccoreConsole I get the error "eInvalidInput" on the line shown below. Are you able to reproduce this?

ed.Command("_.WMFOUT", tempFile, "", "");

Null value for the variable wmfBlock on line 150

I have an issue running the EXPTXT command from accoreconsole. If I run it from the regular AutoCad Gui it works but from accoreconsole I get a null value for the variable wmfBlock on line 150. The entity from "SelectLastEnt" is a Polyline not a BlockReference. Any Ideas?
Thanks

var wmfBlock = tr.GetObject(ed.SelectLastEnt(), OpenMode.ForWrite) as BlockReference;
