How to select only arc(radial) dimensions

[Anonymous]

Hi!

1. How to select only arc(radial) dimensions (using ssget)

  

2. How to select only diameter dimensions (using ssget)

Use this code

(ssget '((0 . "DIMENSION")(-4 . "<OR")(70 . 164)(70 . 36)(-4 . "OR>"))) --> for radial

(ssget '((0 . "DIMENSION")(-4 . "<OR")(70 . 163)(70 . 35)(-4 . "OR>"))) --> for diameter

Various circumstances can result in the 32 "bit" and/or the 128 "bit" in the (assoc 70) entry in entity data being absent from the value, so values of 163 or 164 are not reliable tests.  These will get them whether or not  either of those components is included:

For Radius Dimensions:

(sssetfirst nil (ssget "_X" '((0 . "DIMENSION") (-4 . "&") (70 . 4))))

For Diameter Dimensions:

(sssetfirst nil (ssget "_X" '((0 . "DIMENSION") (-4 . "&") (70 . 3))))

Leave out the "_X" parts if you want User  selection, with the routine "seeing" only those kinds of objects, rather than finding all of them in the drawing.

Code 32 will always be present since R13 according to the documentation, but I agree your version is easier and shorter

I congratulate you on showing that you know that "either" is singular.
