viewports from objects

    Is there a way to only select the viewport entity (or filter the object entity) in a situation where the viewport is created from an object? Because when you select a viewport that has been created from an existing object, 2 objects are selected.
    I currently have a Lisp that modifies the viewport properties, but it won't let me perform the routine because there is another object tangled up with it.

    Hi mnash

    This snipplet shows how to select the correct entity:

    <snip>
    (cond
    ((or (= (getvar "TILEMODE") 1) (> (getvar "CVPORT") 1))
    (alert " GetVpScale can only be done in paper space. ")
    )
    ((and
    (not (prompt "\nSelect Viewport... "))
    (not (setq SelSet (ssget "_:E:S" '((0 . "VIEWPORT"))))) ;<-- Here
    )
    )
    (T
    (DoYourStuff)
    )
    )
    <snip>

    Cheers
