Title: ssget in layouts
Post by: w64bit on May 09, 2021, 08:37:18 AM

I use this code for some DWGs but sometimes it stops.
Can anyone tell me what I have to add to make it working?
Thank you

Code: [Select]

(foreach tab (layoutlist) (setvar 'CTAB lay) (if (setq selblk (ssget "_X" '((0 . "INSERT"))))(command "_DRAWORDER" selblk "" "_BACK")))

I don't know where the problem lies, but personaly I'd do it this way...

(foreach tab (layoutlist) (if (setq selblk (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "INSERT") (cons 410 tab))))(command "_DRAWORDER" selblk "" "_BACK")))

The code stops on several drawings with:

Code: [Select]

Select objects:   4 found
4 were not in current space.

Select objects:
Command: _BACK Unknown command "BACK".

For what it's worth, if you were to download & load my set of Draw Order Functions (http://lee-mac.com/draworderfunctions.html), you can use the following program to achieve the same result without the need to switch the active layout:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (defun c:blk2back ( )
2.     (foreach tab (layoutlist)
3.         (LM:movetobottom (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "INSERT") (cons 410 tab))))
4.     )
5.     (princ)
6. )

Please correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't ssget "_X" be able to select everything in the entire drawing if you don't use (cons 410 tab) ?

Or is this a case where you only want to select these objects if they are in paperspace, but not modelspace?

That is correct but most likely a limitation of the command call.

See replay #2

I believe that the draworder can be set using activex calls, can't it?
