SelectByPolygon outputs <cr> on commandline

By Philippe Leefsma

Q:

I have noticed that each time SelectByPolygon is used via VB AutoCAD gets a <CR> on the command line and things on the command line disappear off into the history buffer which is very odd to see happening.

A:

There isn’t a mean to stop this behavior at this time and this behavior is logged for a change request 511115.

LISP functions like the one below using SSGET do not exhibit this behavior.

(defun c:wbtest ()
(setq pt_list ‘((1 1)(40 1)(40 40)(1 40)))
(setq sset (ssget "_CP" pt_list))
  (setq ilast (sslength sset)) 
)
