ssget and draw order

Hello,

When using ssget with point option (ssget pt). I have noticed that only the top most entity (with respect to the draw order) which is passing through pt is selected and the entities at a lower level are not selected. Is this observation true and If so can we override this behavior to select all the entities passing through a specified point irrespective of their draw order.

Thanks.

Are you looking for something like this with window selection set. ?

(setq pt1 (getpoint "\n Specify first point :")
     pt2 (getpoint "\n Specify second point :")
     )
(setq ents (ssget[b][color="red"] "_w"[/color][/b] pt1 pt2))

Tharwat

The point mode will only obtain a single entity I believe, perhaps try a crossing window:

(
 (lambda ( p )
   (if p (sssetfirst nil (ssget p)))
 )
 (getpoint "\nPoint: ")
)

(
 (lambda ( p )
   (if p (sssetfirst nil (ssget "_C" p p)))
 )
 (getpoint "\nPoint: ")
)

Try this:

(if (setq a (ssget "_c" (getpoint) (getvar 'lastpoint))) 
 (sssetfirst nil a))

Hope this helps!

Correct......

Thanks to all who replied.

My question is simple. I have a point say pt. I want to select all the lines passing through pt so I am using

(ssget pt (list(cons 0 "line"))). But what I have seen is that only the top most line with respect to the draw order gets selected and remaining lines passing via pt are not selected. while I want to select all such lines irrespective of their draw order.

Hope its clear now.

Thanks.
