selection tool

[ILCML]

In AC 2006, (I no longer use...left company) there is a cool feature where the selection window is colored. Is it possible to incorporate that into AC 2004?

thanks

When you say colored, could you mean the entities were highlighted? If so, use HIGHLIGHT.

Nope... that feature wasn't introduced until 2006.

Hi to all you Lisp Gurus

Below is a lisp routine that I would like to be able to select the text size as part of the prompt in command line. I don't know anything about lisps but on the third line it says about txt height and getvar so is the answer there already and I am missing something.

Thanks for any help

(defun c:AUTONUM ()
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(if (null txtht) (setq txtht (* 0.125 (getvar "ltscale"))))
(setq pt1 (getpoint "\nSelect starting point: "))
(setq n1 (getint "\nEnter first number: "))
(setq n2 (getint "Enter last number: "))
(setq inc (getint "Enter increment: "))
(setq drctn (getint "Enter 1 for hor, 2 for vert, 3 for angle: "))
(setq vfeed (getreal "Enter distance between numbers: "))
(setq hfeed vfeed)
(if (= drctn 1) (setq vfeed 0))
(if (= drctn 2) (setq hfeed 0))
(while (<= n1 n2)
(command "text" "c" pt1 txtht "0" n1)
(setq pt1 (list (+ hfeed (car pt1)) (+ vfeed (cadr pt1))))
(setq n1 (+ n1 inc))
)

Borqunit,
When you hold down the left button and make a rectangle to select somethign, normally the graphic is only a white border. In 2006, that white border is filled in with an opaque color, a different color for 'selection only' (left to right) and 'select everything' (right to left)

Like lpseifert said, you can't see this feature in ACAD 2004.

Right, you can't use it, it doesn't exist, my question was, is there a way to make it work in 2004 (by inserting code or an add on or something)
