Select all troubles

[Wootney]

Hello all,

 

I'm a noob at lisp, hence the very basic code, I'm having issues with the select all part of my code.  It selects all and pauses there and hitting enter cancels the select all not allowing me to do the final part of the code.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

(defun c:MCU ()
  (command "LAYON")
  (command "LAYTHW")
 (command "-PURGE" "ALL" "*" "N")

(setq ss (ssget "_ALL"))
  (command "-setbylayer" "y" "y")
  (princ)                    
)

@Wootney You need to plug the selection set into the "-setlayer" command with a return following it. I also localized your "ss" variable, and added the "._" on the command names to allow language localization and prevent any redefined commands from mucking things up. See update below:

 

(defun c:MCU (/ ss) ; localize the variable "ss"
  (command "._LAYON")
  (command "._LAYTHW")
  (command "._-PURGE" "ALL" "*" "N")

  (setq ss (ssget "_ALL"))
  (command "._-setbylayer" ss "" "y" "y");; added "ss" into command with a "" for the return.
  (princ)                    
)

 

EDIT alternatively, you don't even need the call to ssget:

(defun c:MCU ()
  (command "._LAYON")
  (command "._LAYTHW")
  (command "._-PURGE" "_ALL" "*" "_N")

  (command "._-setbylayer" "_all" "" "_y" "_y")
  (princ)                    
)
