Tblsearch for block in current viewport
« on: August 16, 2007, 03:09:58 AM »
Hi,

Is there a way to table search for 'n block only in the current viewport?

I have got : (if (= (tblsearch "block" "BKS-A0-Side" ) nil) and it returns that there is allready a block inserted into the drawing.

TblSearch on the BLOCKS Table reports the blocks available for use.

An INSERT is an instance of a block actually used (inserted) into either Modelspace or Paperspace.

You can SELECT the inserted blocks using either entity selection or by creating a selection set possibly  filtered for specific parameters.

Will that make it easier to determine ?

Hi Kerry,

I think the way to go is (a) Create a selection set and (b) filter the selection set.  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
