Selecting objects by Page and Layer

[nicolasR6NGC]

Hi I'm trying to use ssget to select a polyline that controls a viewport and move it from one page to another. However, no matter what I do my script only selects the first viewport and copies that across all pages instead. Any ideas what is wrong with these lines?

 (setq min-point (list -1e9 -1e9 0)) ; Define a very large minimum point
(setq max-point (list 1e9 1e9 0)) ; Define a very large maximum point
(setq viewport-entity (ssget "C" min-point max-point '((0 . "POLYLINE") (8 . "-VPORT"))))

With plines the property palette or especially the List command are great solutions to find the matching names used in lisp. But I would not rely on those for other objects like Attributes, Attribute Definitions, Blocks and etc

Best bet is still using lisp code

Yes. 100%

My reply was to this question only.

"Is there a way outside of LISP to display whether something is a polyline or a LWpolyline? "

You can get an objects name I use this (entget (car (entsel "\nPick "))) have a look at the 0 value. For VL property names use Dumpit.lsp.

PICK ((-1 . <Entity name: 97c2cc20>) (0 . "LWPOLYLINE")

A possible quick fix (0 . "*POLYLINE") will find both types.
