    (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE,POLYLINE")))) ; for user selection
    or
    (setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE,POLYLINE")))) ; to select all

    (command ".copy" ss "" .........)

    do I do this, any ideas?

    Ok I thought that had it but I was mistaken. The layer name is stored in a variable called polylayer so I assumed this would work:

    (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE,POLYLINE")(8 . polylayer))))

    Unfortunetly it doesn't, I get an error that says:
    ; error: bad SSGET list value

    (setq ss (ssget (list (cons 0 "LWPOLYLINE,POLYLINE")(cons 8 polylayer))))

    a variable called polylayer so I assumed this would work:

    (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE,POLYLINE")(8 . polylayer))))
    Try this instead
    (setq ss (ssget (list (cons 0 "LWPOLYLINE,POLYLINE")(cons 8 polylayer))))
