Functions for Getting Input
Ssget (cont.)
- Important options
- Without any options - generic user provided Selection set
- With the Option "P" - previous selection set
- With a filter list (i.e.) '((0 . "LINE") - only accepts line objects in the selection set, everything else is discarded
- Careful with the "L" option - different from (entlast) as it ONLY looks at thawed, visible objects in the current view, (entlast) returns the last object created, period
- With the "X" option, selects objects matching the criteria without any user input
- Good habit to always use 'SS' in the variable names you get with ssget, selection sets require special handling, and you need to be sure to keep track of them when you save them.
- Remember, you can only have so many selection sets open at once, so when you are through with them, setq them to nil to clear them
