    How do I obtain an entity handle for a graphic object in AutoCAD using AutoLisp?

    For example: I want to retrieve the entity handle for a line selected by the user and store it in the variable "handle".

    Any ideas how this would be done?

    Thanks for the help.

    Command: (setq ename (car (entsel)))
    Select object: <Entity name: 7ed66d90>
    Command: (cdr (assoc 5 (entget ename)))
    "17B9A"
