Presumably your solution is modal since you are using DCL?
Or are you using OpenDCL to display the buttons using a modeless dialog?
now dcl. little rusty in opendcl. will see how it works.
thanks for last code. it is big help.

You're most welcome kruuger
Another solution, if you have Express Tools:
By accident, after loading in your lisp (which is cool BTW) I did a left click hold and drag "Lasso" selection and it triggers this LISP to pop up. What is making it do that?
Is there a system variable that changes while a lasso selection happens?
I can't seem to replicate this behaviour: with all of the monitored system variables disabled (and hence the dialog not displayed), the dialog does not then appear when a Lasso selection is invoked; similarly, with one or more system variables enabled but with the dialog closed manually, the dialog does not then re-appear when a Lasso selection is used in my testing.
You can monitor which system variable is changing by adding
(princ arg) on a new line between lines 52 & 53.
Aside, note that since
acet-ui-status displays a modeless dialog, the dialog may remain open continuously during the drawing session.
I'm glad you like the code Greg
