filtering selection set with handle

Anonymous · ‎06-13-2005

Hi:
I am trying to filter a selctionset objects by the searched objects handle
but the result is always zero although i am sure they are in the drawing
i think i am missing the right dxf code for the object
handle(entity.Handle).I am trying "5" and "DXFCode.Handle" but they don't
work.

Thanks in advance.

Could you post the setup of your 'code' and 'value' arrays?

Why do you need a filter?. each object's handle is
unique so there is only one.

My main problem is that i want to pass a selection set to the properties
window as to change the properties of some
acad entites i am identify them with their handles.I couldn't find a way to
do that except to make a selection set and then pass the ("_P")
perivous selection to the properties window.but for this to be done the
selection set must select something from the drawing.adding the acadentites
directly to the seletctionset by using the handleToobject method doesn't
work bcs the autocad didn't feel the selection.

something like this should work...

'



Sub handleToSS()

    Dim objHandles(1) As String

    Dim ss As AcadSelectionSet

    Dim ent() As AcadEntity

    Dim obj As AcadObject

    Dim i As Integer



    objHandles(0) = "2B"

    objHandles(1) = "2C"



    Set ss = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.Add("ssname")



    For i = 0 To UBound(objHandles)

        ReDim Preserve ent(i)

        Set ent(i) = ThisDrawing.HandleToObject(objHandles(i))

    Next i



    ss.AddItems ent



     ThisDrawing.SelectionSets("ssname").Delete



End Sub

The only proble with this is that the HandleToObject method is extremly slow. Try it with 200 handles...

To my experience, you are better off selecting all objects (or looping trought ModelSpace) and trying to match each object's handle to your handle list. (try using a dictionnary and the Exists method, witch is very fast....)
