csharp Add just created objects to the "previous" selectionset

[MastroLube]

Hi there!

I wrote a code that, from a selection, generates a polyline and a hatch for every object in the selection.

 

How can I make these objects in the selection when the program is ended?

 

For example:
1. I started my program

2. select the objects I want to evaluate
3. the program creates a polyline and a hatch for every object

4. done

Now if I use the command COPY or MOVE (or whatever) I want to select these new objects with the key P (previous) and not the selection I made at point 2 above.
 

Thanks for the help
Dennis

When you make a new object you can use SSADD to add to say a second selection set so use that one for your move. Hint (ssadd (entlast) ss2)

Hello BIGAL!
Unfortunately, I need something in c#
I added the tag in the question, sorry for not making that more clear

Same idea should work in c# must be an equivalent to ssadd as a C sub function.

[MastroLube]

I was able to add elements to the current selection, which is quite ok. (once you finish the program you find them already selected, without having to start a program and press P)

Still not able to figure out how to replace previous objects with those just created ones.

 

...
ObjectIdCollection IDs = new ObjectIdCollection();
...
IDs.Add(acPoly.ObjectId);
...
IDs.Add(acHatch.ObjectId);
...
ObjectId[] idArray = IDs.Cast<ObjectId>().ToArray();
ed.SetImpliedSelection(idArray);
...
