vlr-copied reactor not finding the copied object

I'm using the code below in response to the vlr-copied . leader_txt_copied) reactor event:

(defun leader_txt_copied (nobj robj plist / ent grpmbrs tname)
(if (= (print (type (car plist))) 'ENAME)
(progn
(setq CENT (print (car plist)))
(print (entget cent))
)
)
)

But it can't get the entity data for the new object created (plist):

Command: c COPY
Select objects: 2 found, 1 group <------------------- Notice that it's part of a group.

Select objects: Specify base point or displacement: Specify second point of
displacement or <use first point as displacement>:
INT
INT
ENAME
<Entity name: 7ea18440>
nil <-------------------------- Note that (entget cent) returns nil here!
ENAME
<Entity name: 7ea18448>
nil <-------------------------- and here.
Specify second point of displacement:

Any ideas on how I can get the entity data? What I'm really after is the newly created group name
of this copy.
I do have the code to obtain the groupname from the entitydata, but (entget cent) returns nil.

 

Hi Allen

That's because the copied entity has an non readable status during the copy
event. You've to write the (ToDoFunction) in a chache and call the chache in
:VLR-commandEnded.

I thought it might entail something like that!
More work, eh?
Thanks.

 

Hi Allen
