AutoCAD like FILTER command LISP
« on: August 31, 2023, 05:05:18 AM »
Dear All,

I have shifted from AutoCAD to BricsCAD due to unbearably high pricing of AutoCAD as you all are aware of.
I am not facing any problem in BricsCAD except that BricsCAD does not have inbuilt FILTER command like AutoCAD.
Is there any LISP which provides such functionality, even if part of it ?
Thanks.

What are you trying to filter.

 ssget + Filter, the filter can be simple like a layer, or more complex like layer and insert and so on.

Yes could make a dcl with toggles so it makes the desired filters. Your welcome to play with this.

I am not trying to Filter a particular thing at a time.
AutoCAD's inbuilt FILTER command gives various options to filter various objects based on their various properties dynamically at every use.
I am looking for something like that.

It shouldn’t be that hard to make, as mentioned. Create a dialog that creates a lisp filter for ssget.
OpenDCL might be a good choice as you can have a nice GUI, serialize the filter to a file

Making it from scratch is a lengthy process. I was hoping if someone has done it already.

I use a gui that only filters on object type and layer.
It works very well for me, see if this is what you are looking for:

The QSELECT command works like an amazing mixture of AutoCAD's Filter and QSELECT command, but is in a palette so it can be applied while commands are running even.

Additionally, you can see this discussion:
