Selection with ssget,

[ballur]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a selection function, that only selects items from current layer.

The problem is that after ssget i need to specify what to do with the selected items.

What I want is to simply select items like with a mouse, so i can use ACAD edit options to move, copy, delete, change attributes.

 

Here is the code I have so far.

 

(defun c:select1 (/ lay)
   
 (setq lay (getvar "clayer"))

 (if (ssget (list (cons 8 lay)))
   (progn
       

   );; progn 
 );; if
);;c:select1

It selects items from current layer but after I finish selecting it just writes nil because there is no action specified after progn. Can any one tell me how to add the ssget selected pool to ACAD selection? I want it to work as a simple version of qselect. It's propably a simple line of code, but I wasn't able to find it so far.

 

P.S. Thanks for help if any will be provided

Congrats on your first post, and welcome to the forums!

 

I believe you're interested in the sssetfirst function, more information found in the Developer Documentation.

 

Also, if you'd like, you *can* combine a couple lines of code (that doesn't mean you have to), like this:

 

...
 (if (setq ss (ssget (list (cons 8 (getvar 'clayer)))))
   (progn
   ...

 

 

 

Hope this helps!

(sssetfirst nil (ssget (list (cons 8 (getvar 'clayer)))))

(defun c:select1 ()    
(sssetfirst nil (ssget (list (cons 8 (getvar 'clayer)))))
);;c:select1

 

Thats exactly what I needed.

 

Thanks.
