Using REFEDIT in lisp

[Joris]

I'm writing a program wich places objects in XREF's.
When I use refedit I can click the xref I want to edit, but when I try to select the xref with lisp (ssget "L") autocad refuses to accept the selection. Even (ssname (ssget "L") 0) doesn't work.

Does anybody know how to do this.

Thnx,
Joris

I have not found a way to make refedit work within
a lisp routine.

It looks like Refedit would accept a block by location, if you give it a point where
the command can snap on the block. (Insertion point?)
I have played with it a little and I found out I need to press Enter for the pop-up
window then give it the location the second time and then ACAD would go into the
Refedit state.
Something like this:

(defun C:REF (/)
(command "refedit" "4,4" "4,4" "")
;your commands
;(COMMAND "SCALE" "ALL" "" "4,4" 0.5)
;
(COMMAND "_REFCLOSE" "S")
;it would even continue the LISP code:
(COMMAND "ZOOM" "W")
)
Well, it may help...
