[mujibur.rahman]

I want select objects from Model Space by passing command

Dim acSSPrompt As PromptSelectionResult = acDocEd.GetSelection()

when this command is passed, it prompts the user 'Select Objects: ' in the Model Space

I want to rotate(3D Orbit) the Model to select the objects that are hidden by the other

please help me in this......

Hi,

The few lines of code you show does not allow to diagnose your issue.

You should be able to orbit during  a selection with Editor.GetSelection() except, perhaps, in some context e.g., calling the method from a modeless dialog (or palette).

See this recent topic.

PS: this is the LISP forum here, you should have posted in the .NET one.

Very Thanks for your reply.

I am using modeless dialog form.... that's why I cannot rotate the model or access any commands....

You probably could if you follow Kean Walmsley advice:

"Once again there’s our important rule of thumb when it comes to implementing a modeless UI: rather than manually locking the current document, it’s safer to define a command – which will implicitly lock the current document – and call that from the UI via SendStringToExecute()."
