chain selection with layer filter

[robert06]

There is this great lisp of chain-selecting objects by Lee-Mac http://www.lee-mac.com/chainsel.html

How to add layer filter to select objects only on layer of the picked object?

Hi Robert,

Lee Mac's 'ChainSelV1-0.lsp', use a selection filter 'sf' in the ssget function.
To not have to test all objects layer inside the 'repeat' function, I would suggest to change the selection order, first test the 'en' section set using the 'sf' filter, get the layer associated to the selected object, pass it to a second selection filter, and apply this selection filter to the 's1' selection set...

Hope this helps,
Henrique

Thank you and sorry for replying so late, I took me some time to study this, no luck yet.

Hi Robert,

the attached 'ChainSelV1-0_h1.lsp' was modified by me, from Lee Mac's 'Chain Selection - ChainSelV1-0.lsp', to perform a chain selection by layer, I did change the original command name from 'cs' to 'csl'.

Hope this helps,
Henrique
