Title: ssget HELP
Post by: sln8458 on February 26, 2021, 10:00:37 AM

I'm trying to create a selection set of 3Dsolids to be subtracted from another 3dsolid.
First I wanted to a see the selection set move to verify the code.
ALL of the first selection set exist on a new layer HOLES, there is nothing else on this layer.
However i keep getting 'bad argument'
My first attempt was:

Code: [Select]

(command "move" (ssget "_x" ((0 . "3DSOLID")(8 . "HOLES"))) "0,0,0" "500,0,0")Failed:bad argument
Further reading on the net suggested adding sssetfirst:

Code: [Select]

(command "move" (sssetfirst nil(ssget "_x" ((0 . "3DSOLID")(8 . "HOLES")))) "0,0,0" "500,0,0")Again failed:bad argument

Any pointers please?

You are missing the quote for the list and the return after getting the selection:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (command "move" (ssget "_x" '((0 . "3DSOLID")(8 . "HOLES"))) "" "0,0,0" "500,0,0")
2.
