Everyone, This works for me.... (setq test (ssget "x" '((2 . "rwa-info") (410 . "layout1")))) But I want to be able to use the current layout instead of the "layout1", so I try this with and error of "bad point argument"... (setq blk (cons 2 "blkname")) (setq clayout (cons 410 (getvar "ctab"))) (setq test (ssget "x" blk clayout)) Any ideas on how to make this work? Thanks
