Working with Selection Sets

• Selections are kind of different that any other thing AutoLISP works with - You can think of them as a list of entity names, but you can't use list manipulation functions on them

• Two good ways of working through a selection set (doing some action to each item in the selection set)

  • If you need to keep the selection set for later use, use a counter and step through by increasing the counter
  • If you won’t need the selection set again, repeatedly read the first item then delete it from the selection set, then read the first item, etc.
