ask a simple guestion

[homhsu]

I want to implement a select of only one entity in Lisp, which is similiar to "ssget". Does "ssget" have some kind of "filter-list" to limit or exist other function which can do that

thanks for help

If the user will be seleting the one item, use (entsel). If the selection is to be made without user intervention, you'll have to provide a bit more detail ...

Yes,

(setq ss1 (ssget "+.:E:S" '((0 . "TEXT"))))

This line will allow one pick and it will accept only text. ; ; ;

Bill,

 

Where did you find documentation on the "+.:E:S"

portion?

 

I've never seen anything about the + or ..

 

Thanks,

 

Don

I've never seen anything about the + or .

That comes from Tony Tanzillo research, and I have seen some in the ObjectARX docs.

I was given this in an answer to a post, from Jason P:

Not sure if this works in R14 (give it a try and let us know)

;; Courtsey of Stig Madsen, posted by Robert Bell
(ssget "+.:E:S" '((0 . "ARC")))

Thanks Luis,

Hey,, how did your presentation go at the AutoCAD user's group?

[R. Robert Bell]

However, Tony documented the "+." option.

Thanks Bill,

 

I'll bet there's still a lot more undocumented stuff out there too.

 

I've just changed some of my routines to take advantage your example.

 

Thanks again.

Also thanks to Stig and Robert!

Went pretty good, I spent a little more than three hours... and the best part was the chance to meet very nice people.
