Question
I want to create a qselect lisp that automatically picks=
entire drawing:
block reference:
block unit
so I dont have to go through the process of pick from the drop down menus. Thanks for your help

Answer
If you can go through the process at the command line and record the keystrokes and places you make selections, it is fairly easy to turn that into a macro.
Use a dash - in front of the command to get the command-line version of the command with no dialog boxes. Copy the commands from the text window, and send them back to me - then I can help you with the next step.

I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!
