LISP - Automate ACAD commands
Since you want to combine Autocad commands in a singe function, try to do it yourself.
For each of commands you listed there is a console run version that doesn't show dialogs that can be accessed like
(command "_.-command_name" switches).
Add appropriate switches by following how command asks you and that's it. All those commands work on whole drawing so you don't have to select anything. If you jump into problems post your code and someone will help.
Also, you may search through older posts to this forum. Similar requests have been answered on regular basis at least once every month or two.

It actually does -- you can call up any editing command and give it "P" for the Previous selection, and see. But when used in a (command) function, by default it uses a more basic older version of the command functionality, and doesn't leave them selected/gripped/highlighted as it does when done at the command prompt in newer versions. But you can force it to use the newer functionality, leaving them selected/gripped/highlighted:
(initcommandversion)
(command "_select" "_all" "")

@Kent1Coopercould you explain how to pass as argument all objects in current drawing please?
I would like to pass "select all" selection to flatten..
I wish I could.... Since it's not a native AutoCAD command, it doesn't work in a (command) function in the way those do. I think I've seen an approach used around here that involves stringing the pieces together in another way, but I don't remember how it's done -- I hope someone familiar with that will jump in, and if not, I'll see if I can find an example somewhere, later.
