Highlight Selected Item

The best example I can think of is Matchproperties. When you start match properties you will see the prompt Select source object. Once you've done so the source object is highlighted/dotted while you are asked to select destination object(s). I was wondering how to get the souce object to highlight?

Have you looked into the redraw function...?

Sample:

;; To highlight an entity
(redraw [color=red]eName[/color] 3)

;; To unhighlight an entity
(redraw [color=red]eName[/color] 4)

Added unhighlight

For VLA-Object:

(vla-highlight obj :vlax-true)

Thanks both!!
