inserting Blocks

hi,

I would like to know if their's a way of inserting more then 1 block at the same time then make them an entity with entlast.

Thanks

In fact you should look to create a selection set from those blocks - they will not be treated as a single entity. The code below may help you:

(setq ssetToAdd (ssadd))                ;start a new selection set

;parse a list of points to insert blocks
(foreach pointInsertion  (list poin1st point2nd point3rd)   ;<-- your list of points
(entmake (list '(0 . "INSERT")
               (cons 2 nameOfBlock)
               (cons 10 pointInsertion)
               (cons 41 scaleOnX)
               (cons 42 scaleOnY)
               (cons 43 scaleOnZ)
               (cons 50 angleRotation)
               (cons 8 theLayer)
               ))
(ssadd (entlast) ssetToAdd)            ;gather the entities
)

Thank ill meditate on that this week end

By the way, if you need those blocks arranged in a rectangular array, then there is a possibility to have them behave as a single entity. Just take a look to MINSERT command.

@msasu: if you use entmakeX instead, you don't have to worry with entlast.

Probably I miss something, but using ENTMAKEX to add blocks I got an error:

error: Invalid Entity name
