Strydaris Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hi everyone, Looking for some help here with something. What I am looking to do is to get a text or mtext value inside a block. Issue may be that that text value could be another block nested in another block nest in another one. All depends on how the consultants we work with decide to send them. The other issue may be that there my be 2 text values inside the nested block, but what I want is the one that will be selected by the LISP. I have moderate knowledge of LISP, but have never looked into stepping through a block to get to a nested block. Not sure where to begin with this. Thanks in advance for the knowledge and help. Stry.

Tharwat Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 The easiest and fastest functions that you can read about, are nentsel & nentselp which should be a good way to work directly with nested objects even nested into nested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTX is one of my favourite functions, tried making up similar but it was never quite as good as his - well worth having in your LISP library Edited June 8, 2023 by Steven P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
