Hello all,
I have written a macro many years ago that uses surfaces in a user selectable layer, and processes these surfaces through loads of complicated code.

Seeing it is years ago, and i got a little rusty in the mean time:

Is it possible for a macro to use the selection you made on the screen in autocad instead of a layer?

I hope my question is clear...

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

Patrick.

Mmmm, lisp? lost me there.

It is some code written for autocad 2002 (MDT6)
Here is a small part of the code i have:
<code>

                    intCodes(0) = 0
                    varCodeValues(0) = "assurface"
                    ' Layer selection
                    intCodes(1) = 8
                    varCodeValues(1) = ComboBoxlayer.Text
                    surfacesSS.Select acSelectionSetAll, , , intCodes, varCodeValues
</code>

What it does now, is that it selects all the entities that correspond with certain criterias in the layer you tell it to look.

I would like it to do the same but now not looking in a certain layer, but selecting within a selection you made in autocad (when it turns blue)

Hope i explained myself a little better now...

Cheers!
I came around that, but for some reason it didn't work.
But at least i know i am on the right track now...

I will keep you posted how things turn out.
