Create UNNAMED SELECTABLE GROUP from lisp

[Anonymous]

How can I create and UNNAMED SELECTABLE GROUP from autolisp?

(command "group" "create" "*" "group_desc" sset "")


I can create an unnamed group as shown above by giving it "*" as the name,
and it will make a valid group, but it is not selectable by default, you
have to manually change it to be selectable.

I cannot use (command "group" "s" old_name new_name) because I do not know
what name AutoCAD gave it.

Try this...

(command ".-group" "c" "*" "group_desc" sset "")
(command ".-group" "s" "")

Thanks. That does work, although it seems undocumented. How did you know
that?

I don't remember where I got that, but the command defaults to the last
group created.

Hi,

Sorry to intrute, I am using AUTOCAD 2011. If create a group with no name, I cannot ungroup it right? That is REALLY A PROBLEM....

1. I dont like group name, stupid idea.
2. I dont like to explode, Game over.
AutoCAD sure is a funny company, give ungroup to LT but missing function to preium user...

Any suggest really help, many thanks!
