Hi guys,
I am Albert and I just became a member of this forum and I am completly new to AutoCad VBA so please be gentle with me :)

As I like to get into Programming a little I looked on the net for some examples and found a small program to select layers in my drawing and then be able to change the drawing with an selected layer of a listbox.

The code below shows what I got but when I make a selection in my list box  get an error ("The selection set exists")

Here is the code.


Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim Entity As Object
Dim ss As AcadSelectionSets
'declare variable as local
 
Me.Hide
'hide the dialogue box
 
Set ss = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.Add("NEWSS")
'create a selection set reference
 
ss.SelectOnScreen
'select the objects to change
 
For Each Entity In ss
'for every entity in the selection set
 
    Entity.Layer = ListBox1.Text
    'change the layer to the layer name
    'selected in the list box
   
Next
'process the next entity
 
End
'end the programme

'declare variable as local
 
Me.Hide
'hide the dialogue box
 
Set ss = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.Add("NEWSS")
'create a selection set reference
 
ss.SelectOnScreen
'select the objects to change
 
For Each Entity In ss
'for every entity in the selection set
 
    Entity.Layer = ListBox1.Text
    'change the layer to the layer name
    'selected in the list box
   
Next
'process the next entity
 
End
'end the programme

End Sub

Could someone please let me know why it does not work or what I am missing?? I use AutoCad 2002.

It would be nice to get an answer from you guys and it would be very much appreciated!

Thanks

Albert
