fence stretch

Hi,

Could you help with a lisp that by fence selecting it allows to stretch the etities along a line .

The normal stretch allows to stretch by the normal UCS , and I want it to rotate the ucs and stretch the entities.

Also the regular fence doesn't do the work because it's not selecting all the entities.

I have tried to seek for it in the net.

Thanks

Eyal shalom,

the following is from the documentation. "fence" is not a recommended option?!

Select objects

Specifies the portion of the object that you want to stretch. Use the cpolygon option or the crossing object selection method. Press Enter when the selection is complete.

How can I do this in a lisp,

As you can see in pic 1 - I have some entities that I want to stretch

Pic2-I want to select by fence the entities because if I select with the regular way it will select the rest of the entities that I don't want to select.

Pic3- to stretch from point to point.

Does anyone can help with a lisp for it?

Thank you.

I expect a starting-leftward lasso selection would also work [I don't have AutoCAD up right now to confirm], and doesn't require specifying an option. Another way is to use regular right-to-left crossing-window selection [because it also requires no specifying of an option], and Shift-un-select the things you don't want affected.
