Choose the line around the article
Hello there
When I select more than one font, how can I select the polyline that is enclosed in each of the surrounding areas?

Is there some reason that the rectangles and numbers are not part of a block?  The numbers could be attributes. Is there some variation in design of the rectangles?

(defun c:GetEnclosingPoly(/ txt dxf ptxt pl px ss)
  (setq txt (car(entsel"\Select Text:")))
  (setq dxf (entget txt))
  (if (=(cdr (assoc 0 dxf)) "TEXT")
    (progn
      (setq ptxt (cdr (assoc 10 dxf)))
      (command "-boundary" ptxt "")
      (setq pl (entlast))
      (setq px (vlax-curve-getClosestPointTo pl ptxt))
      (entdel (entlast))
      (setq ss (ssget px '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE"))))
      (sssetfirst nil ss)
    )
  )

Hi,

Please explain what you mean with "multiple selection". If i understood correctly, you are talking about selecting multiple enclosed text objects, but i'm not sure, so please explain the use case.
