AUTOCAD LISP SELECT SINGLE ITEM ONLY CODE

Thats what im saying l should work but it doesnt and p moves the original not the copy so if the copy does not exist on top of the original you have just moved your originals to a new location but why would you want to do this wouldnt you think that l should mean the last obbjects selected and shouldnt matter how many you had selected in the first place i understand what everyone is talking about they are saying make a copy and place it on top of the original then move it to the desired location but moving 'it' is the question what it are we talking about the original objects or the copy try it do the copy command make a copy of an object and place the insertion point some where other than 0,0 then try selecting p or l and see where you get im not saying you all are wrong im just saying who would do something like this this way what is the point of moving the original objects cause what if its a block with attribs that after you copy it you didnt want the block to be populated with the same stuff what if you have a lsp that looks at the attrib info an acts on that so again RE: HOW DO YOU SELECT THE LAST ITEMS COPIED ? tigrek (Mechanical) 21 Dec 01 22:47 Loosing strength, cannnt' keeeppppp finggggersssssssss muvinngggg. To do this, the lisp file needs to be in Acad's search path, or you need to specify the path completely when you load it.

You could paste the rcopy code into a file, save it as rcopy.lsp (using wordpad), then load it at the command line by typing: 'load rcopy.lsp', then type 'rcopy' and follow the prompts. Type what I put in quotes to the command line This is a good way to concept and start (even debug) anything that you plan to do with lisp.ДЎ)Get the command line up (does Acad still have that?).Д¤)Select the 3 lines in whatever way pleases you, 'Enter' to complete the selection set.ДҐ)Acad is asking: From: type '0,0' hit 'Enter'Д¦)Acad is asking: To: type : '0,0' hit 'Enter'ДЁ)Type: 'p' (meaning PREVIOUS) hit 'Enter'ДЎ0)Acad is asking: To: Pick a (different) pointДЎ1)You have now moved the original 3 lines 'out from under' the copies, and completed the task that you said you wanted, except for the layer change, which can be done using the steps in the 'Rcopy' routine that I posted, with some modifications. If you don't understand what I mean, you need to quit posting to this forum and go learn Acad (just being honest, trying to help). I'll lead you thru what I'm talking about: I assume classic Acad selection setting (verb/noun) which is to say I first specify that I want to do, Copy/Erase/Move/Whatever, then select the object(s) that I want to do that to, hit ENTER, then specify, From 'Here' to 'There'. The routines (lisp) that Carl and I have provided get you close to what you want. Lisp is not pretty to look at, but after using it some you can make sense of it. The last I used Acad was r14, (Inventor user now) and I used pull-down and side (screen) menus, feeling that pallets and buttons were just screen (area) wasting, marketing stuff. I learned Acad long ago, and have nver done anything with button macros. I confess that I don't know beans about button macros, if I had to guess, you won't get what you want without writing a lisp routine. RE: HOW DO YOU SELECT THE LAST ITEMS COPIED ? shadow (Computer) The menucmd 's=chla' calls up a menu (sidebar) that lets the user pick from the menu to decide which layer to put things on, you could adapt it by just getting the current layer. This has the error handling in place to delete the copy if you cancel, and you should be able to adapt it by combining with Carl's code. (setq *error* olderr) reset the error handler (command 'change' 'p' '' 'properties' 'la' pause '') (prompt 'Select new Layer for RCOPIED Objects, or RETURN for No Change') (command 'rotate' 'p' '' pause 'r' pause pause) *error* rcopyerror) redefine error handler Here's the rotate retaining old objects code that I mentioned earlier: Shadow, you didn't read my post carefully, CarlB got the idea.
