ssget a variable list Question

[sean112]

When I use ssget before, I either let user input, or '(1000 1000) for a fixed point.

 

Now, I have an variable as a point.

 

The code now looks like this:

 

(command "copyclip" (ssget "W" 'pointy1 'pointy2 ""))

 

Pointy1 and pointy2 are a list which changes when a flag changes.

Here is pointy1's value (3600 3400).

I understand the apostrophe tells lisp not to evaluate pointy1 and pointy2.

But when I execute the command above, it shows bad point argument, and if I do not include the apostrophe, it shows too many arguments.

 

Is there any way for me to use a variable to run ssget? Or do I have to put a point like '(1000 1000)

 

Thanks for any reply!

Try this:

(ssget "_W" pointy1 pointy2)

[sean112]

Try this:

(ssget "_W" pointy1 pointy2)

 

I just tried it; I saw the object is selected, but there is still an error message saying

 

"*Invalid selection*

Expects a point or Window/Last/Crossing/BOX/ALL/Fence/WPolygon/CPolygon/Group/Add/Remove/Multiple/Previous/Undo/AUto/SIngle

; error: Function cancelled"

 

and since I took out "" it did not end the copyclip command.

 

It is already a huge improvement though!!

This is the complete one:

(command "_.copyclip" (ssget "_W" pointy1 pointy2) "")

This is the complete one:

(command "_.copyclip" (ssget "_W" pointy1 pointy2) "")

 

I just realized I am retarded. LOL

I put the "" inside the ssget.

 

Thanks so much, Tharwat!
