Howdy - Unfortunately this is a known limitation with R2005. We've got this
listed as a requirement for future releases. For now you can isolate the
layer OR use the AutoCAD selection set functionality (ie, build a selection
set before running the command and then use the selection set when promoted
to select plines).
Thanks
