transcad Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, I want to keep a selection set of objects into a dictionary, in a drawing, to be able to select the same objects after closing and opening again that drawing. How to do that? Thanks! Edited September 5, 2019 by transcad incomplete information Quote
Lee Mac Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I would personally suggest storing the entity handles (these are unique & persistent for the lifetime of the drawing); you can then subsequently use the handent function to convert the handle back to an entity, before using ssadd to add such entity to a selection set.

dlanorh Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 A selection set is a special list of entity names. IIRC, Entity names can change across drawing sessions. You need to save a list of entity handles or convert the selection set to a group then reconvert back to a selection set when re-opened. Quote
