Selection Set with filtertype 10,20 and 30

[jwitteman]

Hello, I want to select two types of blocks in my drawing with an insertion point somewhere between (let's say) -10,-10,0 and 10,10,0

 

The following code is working (without the insertion-point-part)

 

 

Dim ssNew as acadselectionset
set ssNew = thisdrawing.selectionsets.add("newset")

Dim FilterType(0 to 2) as integer
Dim FilterData(0 to 2) as variant

FilterType(0) = 0: FilterData(0) = "INSERT"
FilterType(1) = 2: FilterData(1) = "Blockname1, Blockname2"
FilterType(2) = 67: FilterData(2) = 0 'only modelspace...

ssNew.Select acSelectionSetAll, , , FilterType, FilterData

Adding the point -10,-10,0 and 10,10,0 right into the Select part won't work, because then the whole block needs to be in that area and I want just the insertion point. So somethjing with

 

FilterType(3) = 10: FilterData(3) = >=-10 and

 

Anywone an idea?

 

Thanks in advance.

Ok, Found out the following isue...

 

Dim ssNew as AcadSelectionSetset ssNew = ThisDrawing.Selectionsets.add("newset")

Dim dblPoint(0 to 2) as double
dblPoint(0) = 0: dblPoint(1) = 0: dblPoint(2) = 0

Dim FilterType(0 to 3) as integer
Dim FilterData(0 to 3) as variant

FilterType(0) = 0: FilterData(0) = "INSERT"
FilterType(1) = 2: FilterData(1) = "Blockname1, Blockname2"
FilterType(2) = 67: FilterData(2) = 0 'only modelspace...
FilterType(3) = 10: FilterData(3) = dblPoint

ssNew.Select acSelectionSetAll, , , FilterType, FilterData

 

With this code I get the block that has insertion point exactly the same as dblPoint. But what I want is not only the point, but a window of points...

Just pick all blocks and then step through them and check there insertion point if it falls within your window, maybe rather than trying to filter in selection.

 

 

For Cntr = 0 To SSnew.Count - 1

xmin xmax and ymin ymax true = within window Then do something
