Select everthing inside a polygon?

Anyone know of a routine that will select everything inside a polygon and
erase it? EXTRIM gets me half way there. I seem to remember running across
one in my travels, but now can't find it when I need it.

Any help is always appreciated!

Thanks!

One way would be to use the ERASE command, and the WP selection option
(picking the apexes of the existing polygon).

You could get the vertex list of the polygon and pass the pt list to ssget
via...

(ssget "_WP" pt_list)

then erase the polygon.

Here's one I did a while back.
It converts the polyline from LW to Heavy, I
couldn't get it to read the pointlist without
doing that, and I ain't too smart as a codewriter.
But it does work. Lemme know if it doesn't work
for you.

thanks doug! works great. It actually helped me rethink what I was doing
and save me even more time.

Thanks again. Please feel free to check out the downloads area of
www.kdcad.com and see if there's anything there you can use...
