Topic: Select all TEXT smaller than ...

[Hangman]

I am trying to select all the text in a drawing 1/8" or smaller and I've come across a blank spot in my head.

Code: [Select]

(setq A (ssget "_X" (list (cons (0 "Text")
                                (40 **???**)
                          )
                   )
       )
)

I know this should be a simple thing, but I'm at a mental loss.
What do you suggest?

Thanks.

It's been a while, but I think this is what you are looking for.

Code: [Select]

(ssget "_X" '((0 . "Text")
                     (-4 . "<=")
                     (40 . 0.125)
                    )
)

I was thinking I needed the [  (list (cons  ] because I was using two or more codes when I posted my question.
Then after posting my question, I got to think'n, ... 'I don't think there is a conditional operator for DXF' ... .
I'd of never thought of using the [  (-4 . "<=")  ] in this manner.  Glad you were here Jeff.

So I just learned something new today.  This works perfectly.  Thank you Jeff.

Hi .

This is a little bit long than the use of dxf operator but it is a good practice of looping to get (filter) what you in need of .

Code: [Select]

  (if
    (setq s (ssget "_x" '((0 . "TEXT"))))
     (progn
       (repeat (setq j (sslength s))
         (setq e (ssname s (setq j (1- j))))
         (if (<= (cdr (assoc 40 (entget e))) 0.125)
           (ssdel e s)
         )
       )
       (sssetfirst nil s)
     )
     (princ)
  )
