SS bug or ??

R2005:

I know I've been away for a few days and things can change rapidly but why am I getting some points, circles and text in my selection set when I use:

Command: (setq ss (ssget "X" '((0 . "LINE"))))
<Selection set: 27>

Command: list

Select objects: !ss
<Selection set: 27>
854 found, 1 group

Select objects:

ect.ect

Have I forgotten something?

Seems to work when I use ARC:

(setq ss (ssget "X" '((0 . "ARC"))))

I get just arcs.

TIA

Bill

 

Is it because the Line you selected is within a group?

Tim

 

Yes,
I see that now.

Any ideas on how to handle that?

Bill

 

The only thing I can think of is to turn off group selection, then run your routine, then turn it back on.

Tim

 

If I create a group of 2 lines and a circle

(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "line"))))
<Selection set: 12e>

(sslength ss)
2

Am I missing something? How were your groups created?

 

That'll work for now.

Thanks

Bill
