AboutScott Cook Expertise 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!

PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS ONLY PLEASE. Questions that are NOT related to programming or AutoCAD customization (menus and lisp only please) are outside the scope of my volunteer services and will NOT BE ANSWERED.
Question Hello sir,
Would you please tell me is it possible to highlight an attribute (not attribute definition)
separately from block reference (insert) in vlisp of Autocad 2000i?
I tried this but it doesn't work:
Answer yes it is, and where you are getting misled here is using the vlx- and vlax functions. it's not neccessary for what you are doing, everything you are trying to do you can get through lisp.
something like (untested code)
(setq en (car (nentsel)))
(redraw en 3)
you are going to have to look at the function reference for redraw and nentsel to check the arguments and return values.
