The following routine only allows for an individual selection of a block (single pick). How could this routine be changed to allow for window or crossing?
Thanks
; File Name: FIXBLOCK.LSP
; Description: Puts all of a blocks sub-entities on layer 0 with color
; linetype set to BYBLOCK. The block, itself, will remain on
; its' original layer.
