Hi again,
ya ya the link is right and works fine, BUT the process do not work for more
than one type of entity, just try like:

Dim Gtyp(0 to 1) as integer
Dim Gdata(0 to 1) as variant
Dim fType as variant
Dim fData as variant
Gtyp(0)=0: Gdata(0)="CIRCLE"
Gtyp(1)=0: Gdata(1)="LINE"
ftyp=gtyp:fdata=gdata
ss.SelectOnScreen fType, fData

Got it? You can not select more than one type of entities like this. why?

Thanx,
Soumen

When you have multiple values for a single group code, you can either
concatenate them or use grouping operators:

Gtyp(0) = 0: Gdata(0) = "CIRCLE, LINE"

or

Gtyp(0) = -4: Gdata(0) = " Gtyp(1) = 0: Gdata(1) = "CIRCLE"
Gtyp(2) = 0: Gdata(2) = "LINE"
Gtyp(3) = -4: Gdata(3) = "OR>"

For more information on grouping values in a selections set filter,
refer to the AutoLISP online help. The topic "Logical Grouping of Filter
Tests" is what you're after. While you're at it, the help on the SSGET
function also contains links explaining the use of wild-card pattern
matching and relational tests in a selection set filter. They're at the
very bottom of the page.

Good luck. If you have any more questions, be sure to post.
