LISP for MULTIPLE won't stay in command.

[resullins]

Ok... this is something that over the years I have achieved in a plethora of ways. However, now, I need to be able to deploy it in the easiest possible method, which is in a simple LISP routine. 

 

What I'm trying to do is use MULTIPLE so that I stay in the ATTIPEDIT command. The code I have is below. When I run it, it gives me the following error, but will allow me to select the first attribute to edit. However, after I edit first attribute, the text box click cursor goes away, and I can't edit anything additional. 

*Invalid selection*
Expects a single object.
; error: Function cancelled

 

This is the code I'm running, and I can't see the error. Also, forgive me, I've been at a trade show for the last week, so maybe my brain is just on strike. Thanks in advance! 

(defun c:MBE ( / )

  (command "_.MULTIPLE")

  (while t

    (command "_.ATTIPEDIT")

  )

  (princ)

)

Hi
Just add PAUSE after _.ATTIPEDIT.

Like That... 
(command "_.ATTIPEDIT" PAUSE)

Another similar, hold ctrl down and dbl click an attribute will allow edit of that attribute, but only a single at a time.

Thanks y'all.. my mistake not poking further into '_multiple'..

For me, working 3dsolid mostly, it works great

(defun c:MFE ( /  *error*)

(defun *error* ( msg )
(setvar 'cmdecho 0) ;; 5.28.24
  (vla-endundomark (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
  (if qaf (setvar 'qaflags qaf))
  (if msg (prompt (strcat "\n" msg)))
  (setvar 'cmdecho 1)    
  (princ)
)

(command "_.MULTIPLE")

(command "_.SOLIDEDIT" "F" "M" "\\")
 
  (while t

    (command "\\" "\\" "\\" "M" "\\")

  )

     (*error* nil)
   (princ)
)

And that's what I always used to do... but these boys are especially lazy.
