Select Blocks Inserted by the Measure Command

    Hi Everybody,

    I use a selection set to have the user select a single line in the current
    drawing. I then have the measure command insert blocks along the length of
    the specified line. I was wondering how I would go about selecting the
    blocks that the measure command just inserted along the line? There may be
    other occurrences of the block in the drawing that can't be selected....

    Thanks for the help

    if you use (command "_.measure") then a selset is set by AutoCAD you can
    access via

    (ssget "_P")

    otherwise your own measure function has to collect or your check for
    newly creted objects or...

    how about storing the last entity with (setq newest (entlast)), then run the measure command, then you can get the new objects by stepping through with (entnext newest)
