Pause While Grip Edit ?

[rcunningham]

Hi Everyone,..... After using the sssetfirst function to enable the grips of a selection set, how would I pause my routine so that I can edit those objects until either right-click or enter?.....Currently my routine zooms to an entity in a selection set, I pick an insertion point and rotation angle, a block is inserted, and then zoom to the next entity in the selection set...... What I'd like is to be able to pause the program so that I can move the attibutes of the block before continuing on to the next entity.....Thanks, Robert

Ok, I can get the program to pause after highlighting the block's grips by throwing in a (while (/= ""(getstring))), but I cannot do anything because of the getstring, but it will continue after a right-click, which is getting me closer...... Any ideas of a command that I can use to fake it so I can use (while (eq 1 (logand 1 (getvar "cmdactive")))?..... Thanks, Robert

(grread) can interpret all kinds of input... cursor coordinates, picks,
keyboard input, etc. You might want to use it in some kind of while loop...
(while (not done)
(setq code (grread ...))
(cond
((= code ...)
etc.
