(setq ss (ssget "X" '(

(-4 . "<or")(62 . 1)(62 . 6)(62 . 9)(62 . 42)(62 . 214)(-4 . or>")
(-4 . "<or")
(-4 . "<not")(0 . "text") (-4 . "not>")
(-4 . "<not")(0 . "dimension") (-4 . "not>")

)

hi was just wondering if anyone could help me out will this one. I am only new to lisp.
Am wanting to select objects which have a certain colour (colour by colour - not by layer. realise they would not have a 62 if by layer) but if they are text, dim, leader or multileader, then I don't want them selected.

Any help would be great thanks

regards
martin

Maybe this

(setq ss (ssget "X"
                '(
                  (-4 . "<and")
                    (-4 . "<or")
                      (62 . 1)
                      (62 . 6)
                      (62 . 9)
                      (62 . 42)
                      (62 . 214)
                    (-4 . "or>")
                    (-4 . "<not")
                      (0 . "text,dimension,leader,multileader")
                    (-4 . "not>")
                  (-4 . "and>")
                 )
         )
)
