Lisp routine modify?

[ohiocad]

I have a little bit of experience in lisp programming, but still feel way over my head, even on the easy things.

We have a lisp routine that automates some things with blocks for us, that when we run it, says "Select block" but I am trying to find a way to modify it so that I can type the block name in instead of selecting it. It's a big time saver on some of the larger drawings so I don't have to filter out the block by name, and zoom in to find it.

Is that something simple to do?

Thanks

Yes - if you don't need to operate on a particular block insert. The current "select block" probably just extracts the block name anyway.

You could have a command line option, like;

Select block /Type:

so if you hit "T" then it would prompt you for block name.
