selection sets in multiple drawings

Hi all,

Is it possible to select entities such as polylines using (ssget) in one drawing and then paste that selection in some other drawing. We can do that by using CTRL+C and CTRL+V but the drawing I am working on has some problem and these windows copy paste commands are not working in that drawing.

Thanks.

Hi Salman

Here is the Selection Set Function for Polyline includ it into your Lisp Program to select all polyline that are in a drawing;

(setq pl (ssget "_X" '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE"))))

Enjoy.

As an option wblock could possibly be used. Export the selection out & insert it into the next drawing

Copyclip / Pasteclip

Copyclip / Pasteclip

Same as Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V.

You could export all the entity data and entmake it elsewhere. However, that's a lot of legwork and will not work on all objects. If you can't copy/paste, I'd wblock/insert.

Hi.

Try this also.

(defun c:poly (/ pl)

(setq pl (ssget "_X" '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE"))))

(command "_copyclip" pl ""

"_pasteclip" pause)

(princ))

Works great! Can it do multiple files?

It could definitely be made to copy to multiple files - when I get a chance, I'll perhaps include a version to do so.
