Just because it stands out as one of the first lines in copy-entity (entmakex entdata) ;; Return the newly created entity name (entlast) You don't need the last (entlast), entmakex returns the entity name

Try this it uses toggle buttons so can be a on or off switch, the result is a list like this (1 1 0 0 1) the 1 means you picked it. You then match the list with your image name list, item number in list, if = 1 then item number in image list. Multi toggles.lsp

Using VLAX can save a couple of lines when getting pline points. (setq r (vlax-get ob 'coordinates)) I tend to use this, I think it was a suggestion by Lee-Mac. (setq plent (entsel "\nPick rectang")) (if plent (setq co-ord (mapcar 'cdr (vl-remove-if-not '(lambda (x) (= (car x) 10)) (entget (car plent))))))

@Akanezuko If I'm interpreting you correctly - try this: (defun c:SelinPoly (/ es ob pts r ss) (if (and (setq es (entsel "\nSelect a polygon: ")) (= (cdr (assoc 0 (entget (car es)))) "LWPOLYLINE") ) (progn (setq ob (vlax-ename->vla-object (car es)) pts (vla-get-coordinates ob) pts (vlax-safearray->list (vlax-variant-value pts)) ) (while pts (setq r (cons (list (car pts) (cadr pts)) r) pts (cddr pts) ) ) (if (> (length r) 2) (progn (entdel (car es)) (setq ss (ssget "CP" r '((0 .

I have moved your thread to the AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL Forum. Please post in the correct forum.

"AutoCAD objects like dimensions are affected by the drawing scale." if you make the objects annotative it should fix that problem. I have sent you a link for the video.
