Why do I get an nil for the 2nd item in the selection set?

(setq textset (ssget))
(setq TextObject (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname textobjectSet 0)))
(setq TextObject (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname textobjectSet 1)))

I even tried releasing the object before i tried it for position "1" and that did not seem to be the solution.

Code: [Select]

(setq [color=red]textset[/color] (ssget))
(setq TextObject (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname [color=red]textobjectSet[/color] 0)))
(setq TextObject (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname [color=red]textobjectSet[/color] 1)))

I don't know how to deal with vlax..... but in your codes the selection set group has to get the same
name to get the selection.
