SSGET - Character Height?

Is this the code to collect TEXT entities on the "0" layer with a text height of 1?

(ssget "_X" '((0 . "Text")(8 . "0")(40 . 1)))

I don't think it's right because I am not getting anything when something really is there.

Worked perfect for me tetsing on a real dwg different layer and height found 29 objects. Is it mtext ?

in which case he could try :

(setq ss (ssget "_X" '((0 . "*text")(8 . "0")(40 . 1))))

or maybe the value is 1-ish

using a range

(ssget '((0 . "*text")(8 . "0") (-4 . ">=") (40 . [b]1.0[/b]) (-4 . "<") (40 . [b]1.2[/b])))

(ssget '((0 . "*text")(8 . "0") (-4 . ">=") (40 . [b]1.0[/b]) (-4 . "<") (40 . [b]1.2[/b])))

even better

Think it boils down that if someone has a question , post an example drawing along with your shopping list , oh I'm so sorry , I meant your own sample code

I kept looking at this and couldn't see why it was not getting anything. The clue to me was that others of you were getting results on your tests, whereas I was getting "nil".

As it turned out it wasn't a TEXT entity at all. I looked at the entity closer and it was an ATTDEF entity.

So .... when I revised the code to ...

(setq ss (ssget "_X" '((0 . "AttDef")(8 . "0")(40 . 1))))

voila, I now get data.

Thanks everyone!

Now that you have explained it would be best to do

(setq ss (ssget "_X" '((0 . "AttDef,*text")(8 . "0")(40 . 1))))

Thank you BIGAL for the improvement. It helps me learn.
