Not BYLAYER (setq ss1 (ssget '((-4 . "!=")(62 . 256)))) Selection of color 7 to 11 (setq ss1 (ssget "X" '((-4 . ">=") (62 . 7) (-4 . "<=") (62 . 11))))

That should work as it stands now. The error appears ONLY if there dimensions found, either on a locked layer [ not seen on screen probably off/frozen ] or the Dimension object(s) are on another layout other than the current tab not accessible by command call Try changing the ssget filter to something like this (setq A1 (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "DIMENSION")(Cons 410 (getvar 'ctab)))))

(ssget "_X" '((-4 . "<OR") (62 . 7) (62 . 8) (-4 . "OR>")))

(setq ss1 (ssget '((-4 . "<NOT") (62 . 256) (-4 . "NOT>"))))

Do you mean variables with a value ? You can do that as well, string1=a string2=b etc. Look at SET

(defun C:foo () (setq i (getint "\nStarting number: ")) (setq string (getstring "\nString: ")) ;set i and string outside of loop (while (> 20 i) ;what ever your looping for (setq name (strcat string "-" (itoa i))) (setq i (1+ i)) (prompt (strcat "\n" name)) ) (princ) ) Running this command. Starting number: 15 String: test test-15 test-16 test-17 test-18 test-19 --edit also look at this http://www.lee-mac.com/numinc.html
