Is there any command or lisp to select objects inside the selection object?

[faizur]

I want to select multiple objects inside the selection.

Like the "EXTRIM" command, where after selecting the object it asks "Specify the side to trim on".

TIA

Try Crossing Polygon

 

(ssget "_CP" ....... ) 

 

(see http://lee-mac.com/ssget.html) - will that work?

 

Could also try Window Polygon for entities that are completely inside the selected object

If you only want whats inside use "WP"

Re extrim in the Extrim.lsp program its called via (Etrim look for it, I use a small offset then use that for the Etrim select. 

 

(etrim (entlast) (getvar 'extmax)) 

So this cuts the objects touching but does not remove the outside objects so the answer is change the inside objects to a dummy layer isolate the outside objects layer then delete them, unisolate and change the objects back to correct layer.

 

Sequence is pick pline, pick 2 outside points ie window all the objects, this is used later for the erase out side objects.
