Topic: How to include ARC into selection..

[ScottMC]

here's what's needing ARC selection:
works when I replace LINE on "setq DT" with ARC, but then only arc..
want to include both arc and line.
really appreciate help understanding.. Thanks

Code: [Select]


(defun c:TEST (/ OB DT) ;; https://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=39512.msg447762#msg447762
  (while
    (progn
      (initget "Exit  ")
      (if (setq OB (entsel "\nSelect <Exit>: "))
        (cond
          ( (or (= OB "Exit") (= OB ""))
            (princ "\n>> Exit TEST routine. <<")
            nil
          )
          ( (/= (setq DT (cdr (assoc 0 (entget (car OB))))) "LINE")  ;;;
            (princ "\n** Wrong object selected **")                            ;;;
            T                                                                                      ;;;
          )                                                                                         ;;;
          ( (= DT "LINE")
            (princ "\n>> You select a line. <<")
            nil
          )
        )
        (progn
          (princ "\n** Nothing selected **")
           T
        )
      )
    )
  )
  (princ)
)

Change /= to (not (wcmatch and "LINE" to "LINE,ARC"

ONLY BY CHANCE..
 So far seems to work....... slow learner
here's the pgm: 'tests desired'

Code: [Select]


(defun getlength (curveobj / len)
    (setq len 0.0)
    (vl-catch-all-apply '(lambda ()
                             (setq len
                                      (vlax-curve-getdistatparam curveobj
                                                                 (vlax-curve-getendparam curveobj)
                                      )
                             )
                         )
    )
    len
)
