getvar viewctr

[Anonymous]

I am trying to use viewctr as the "location" point in a circle query with a
radius of 7000. I can type (getvar "viewctr") and it will work in the
dialog boxes, but it will not appear in the external query. How can I get
(getvar "viewctr") to work in an external query? Thank you.

Hi! 🙂
Try to use something like the following:
(ade_qrydefine (list "" "" "" "Location"
(list "circle" "crossing"
(getvar "viewctr")
(getvar "viewsize")
)
"")
)

This will create a location condition with a circle whose center is the current view center, and the radius is the height of the view.

Thank you.

Using the "list" is what I was missing for using
variables.
