Tool>Display>Order

[Anonymous]

I would like to write a VBA routine to duplicate the Tool->Display

Order->Bring To Front command.

I would like to build a selection set based on certain filters and then

Bring them to the front 🙂

any idea on how to change an entities display order?

Thank you for your time and have a good day

Display order is controlled by the order in which entities are created. The only permanent way to change it is to recreate the ents to be displayed on top. A common method is to copy the ents at the same location and erase the originals.

I use "draworder" & lsp....


(setq ss_wo (ssget "X" '((8 . "wo*"))))
(setq ss_se (ssget "X" '((2 . "se"))))
(command "draworder" "all" "r" ss_se "" "f")
(command "wipeout" "frame" "on")
(command "draworder" ss_wo "" "a" ss_se)
(command "wipeout" "frame" "off")


well... that's the basic idea. I need to do the same thing in vba. my problem is that i'm not real good at the "ssget" part. can anyone help?


Thanks, Nancy nancym@astroshapes.com
