Lisp required to select all mtext within an enclosed polyline and rotate the text to the angle of the longest segment of the polyline

I think it would be better to use entsel for the polyline to avoid duplicate polylines as well. But I think OP is already happy with it then we can apply the first rule.

I see you like to gesticulate.
Loose ends can be left unintentionally, out of carelessness. It happens to me.

But leaving them intentionally shouldn't be an option.

If you don't see any alternative to using 'entsel' in this case, let others suggest their own.

And save your irony.

I'll follow your advice @LanloyLisp

 

If the OP deems it necessary

Hello everyone.

 

I don't want to take sides. But I think Mr. GLVCVS is right. In my office, we've sometimes had to work with closed polylines inside other closed polylines. This is a possibility that needs to be taken into account in some cases.

Although I don't know if it's necessary in this case.

Thanks, PGia
I shouldn't thank you for defending this.
But maybe one day, as Chesterton says, we'll have to be grateful that someone else supports you in defending that the grass is green.

 

Anyway, it seems this exception doesn't apply here.

Just to make it clear the solution given was exactly what I needed.  Given the workflow I can assure that there would never be enclosed polyline inside other closed polylines.  The workflow process eliminates any possibility of that.  Again I would like to thank those that assisted in coming to the solution as it saved me having to manually rotate over 10000 pieces of Mtext
