How filters a selection chart "Entity name"?
I have selected a "Entity name",
was using SSGET two selections things way to make an anthology.
But filtered the anthology in "P" actually to appear NIL.
Asked how should process filters same "Entity name",
and in anthology position?

(SETQ ENA (CAR (ENTSEL "\n selection ENAME:")))
_$ <Entity name: 7ef76308>

(SETQ PTA (GETPOINT "\n POINT A:"))
(SETQ PTB (GETPOINT PTA "\n POINT B:"))
(SETQ SS (SSGET "F" (LIST PTA PTB)))
(SETQ LL (LIST ASSOC 5 (ENTGET ENA))))
(SETQ SOK (SSGET "P" LL))

_$ ((5 . "548"))
_$ nil
Thank you for your offered to help.

The ssget function recognizes all group codes except entity names (group –1), handles (group 5), and xdata codes (groups greater than 1000)


Do you know that DXF 5 is for the Entity handle, which will ONLY apply to ONE entity .. in this case the one saved in variable ENA ?


Because you are filtering on the handle then (SETQ SOK (SSGET "P" LL)) WILL return nil ..


However, using DXF 8 for layer

(SETQ LL (LIST (ASSOC 8 (ENTGET ENA))))
(SETQ SOK (SSGET "P" LL))

you MAY get a match, if one of the menbers of SS is on the SAME layer as ENA.
