select command not selecting

[126843]

Hello i have a problem wth select

For example i have slection set ss1

And i want to select this selection set but when i type this in autocad command prompt

(command "select" ss1)

it selects desired objects but prompts me to select more object and when i hit enter or space it deselcts everything.

How to handle this?

The Select command seems to work somewhat different in an AutoLisp (command) function than at the command line.  You can have it all selected/highlighted/gripped this way:

(sssetfirst nil ss1)

Use the PSELECT command instead of SELECT

Not sure weather you want to add some more objects or not... if not you need to close the selection using "".

(command "_.PSELECT" ss1 "")

Don't use the Select command.  Use (ssget) instead.  And (sssetfirst) is way cool.

Also, if you already have a selection set, then why do you think you need to select it?  Do you go reaching around for a fork that is already in your hand?

Don't call the auto lisp command function at the command prompt. Simply start the command and at selection prompt type !ss1

Command: SELECT
Select objects: !ss1
<Selection set: 6ba>
