Cause the selected nested object to highlight.

[mdhutchinson]

I think there is a function that will cause the selected object that is in the XRef to highlight.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You can use the redraw function with mode argument 3 to highlight a given entity, or the sssetfirst function to select a supplied selection set; however, unfortunately neither of these functions will work with nested entities.

An alternative might be to duplicate the nested entity (transforming the entity using the transformation matrix returned by nentsel[p]) and highlight the duplicated entity - however, you would need to implement a fail-safe to ensure that the duplicated entity is deleted when you have finished using it.
