Moving objects with the SSGET function

[Anonymous]

Is it possible when using the SSGET function to assign the first point selected to a variable to be used later?

you could make a getpoint instead a ssget, store this point and make an
ssget with this point

I wanted to use SSGET W to select certain objects to be copied and wanted to know if I could use the first point as a base point.

Perhaps something like:

{code}
(ssget "W"
(setq pt1 (getpoint "First corner: "))
(getcorner pt1 "Opposite corner: ")
(....filter list if needed....)
); end ssget
(command "_.copy" "_previous" "" pt1 pause)
{code}

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

You're welcome. If you don't need to filter for object types or characteristics, it could be simpler:

(command
"_.copy" "_window"
(setq pt1 (getpoint))
pause
""
pt1
pause
); end command

Copy will even supply its own prompts. You would still have pt1 stored to use for other purpose(s) later.
