    Posted: 20.Jul.2015 at 14:35
Tech School assignment:
Using Autocad "Quick Select Command: We need a short Lisp routine to temporarily bypass the dialog box to Select "ALL" objects on screen, then return to dialog box to set filters for replacing certain Dim Styles with a more robust Dim Style (created by our Instructor) ~ We're all kinda bogged down with bypassing the dialog box to "Select Objects": "ALL"
Any suggestions would help us greatly ~ Thank You Smile

Try this:

(sssetfirst nil (ssget "_X"))

That will select, highlight, and grip everything in the drawing.  Then go into QSELECT, and in the "Apply to:" pull-down it should already have "Current selection" picked.

Kent, It appears to not be working. I assume I did something wrong. Can you please help us with the necessary steps?
We added the routine into our ACAD.lsp under "(Defun C:QSA () (sssetfirst nil (ssget "_X"))" noted as "Quick Select All"
but we are back to square one. We apologize for our lack of your apparent knowledge...but any help to get us off of center gravity would be muchly appreciated :)
