I don't know if I understood exactly what the need was, but here is my proposal. Moving the cursor over entities adds to the selection if the mode is active (left-click) and pressing + or - toggles to add or remove. (defun C:AutoSel ( / oldpcka key_mod ss tmp key_sel e_sel) (setq oldpcka (getvar "PICKADD") key_mod 'ssadd) (setvar "PICKADD" 2) (or (setq ss (ssget "_I")) (setq ss (ssget "_P")) ) (if ss (sssetfirst nil ss) (setq ss (ssadd))) (princ "\n[+/-]: AutoSelect ADD/REMOVE [Left-Click]: AutoSelect ON/OFF [Right-Click]: Quit AutoSelect ") (princ "\nAutoSelect <<OFF>>") (while (or (= 5 (car (setq tmp (grread t 5 2)))) (= 3 (car tmp)) (member tmp '((2 43) (2 45)))) (cond ((= 2 (car tmp)) (cond ((eq (cadr tmp) 43) (setq key_mod 'ssadd) (princ "\nMode add select") ) ((eq (cadr tmp) 45) (setq key_mod 'ssdel) (princ "\nMode remove select") ) ) ) ((= 3 (car tmp)) (if (null key_sel) (progn (setq key_sel T) (princ "\nAutoSelect <<ON>>") ) (progn (setq key_sel nil) (princ "\nAutoSelect <<OFF>>") ) ) ) ((= 5 (car tmp)) (cond ((and key_sel (setq e_sel (nentselp (cadr tmp)))) (cond ((eq 'ENAME (type (car (last e_sel)))) ((eval key_mod) (car (last e_sel)) ss) ) ((eq "VERTEX" (cdr (assoc 0 (entget (car e_sel))))) ((eval key_mod) (cdr (assoc 330 (entget (car e_sel)))) ss) ) (T ((eval key_mod) (car e_sel) ss)) ) (sssetfirst nil ss) ) (T nil) ) ) (T (princ "\nAbnormal command shutdown ")) ) ) (setvar "PICKADD" oldpcka) (princ "\nEnd of command. ") (prin1) )

I have merged the 2 threads since they seem related.

As the cell is Mtext you can set each line a different color, using the mtext color control. This was done manually. So will see maybe later will have time to do something. Have an idea will find the cells with multi line split into multi text lines, display the line and what color it is now so you can change any or all lines. Looking at dwg it looks like you only want 2 colors 1 & 87 so will keep the multi color for later.

What are you trying to accomplish with this code? First and foremost vla-CopyObjects doesn't support Layouts in the manner you are attempting, AFAIK. You need to use -LAYOUT command or pretty much need to use LeeMac's Steal or at least determine the method he uses for Layouts, which if I am looking at it correctly uses the Block Table record maybe more as I quickly glanced at it.

Yes but as I have had to do things working with the government or local municipalities isn't so cut and dry. just easier to do it the way they want it
