Use SSGET to select everything, then explode the selection set

[stephen.coff]

I want to make everything on the drawing a selection group so i can explode it all.
I am stuck as to how to do this, could anyone assist ?

(setq ss (ssget "x"))
(command "explode" ss)

this doesn't work and I haven't played with lisp for a while nor am I any good.
any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure it has ?
I have tried it on multiple different Architectural files I get and this doesn't work.
It seems to though a few clicks and you soon realise there are still blocks, hatching or polylines etc

Is this just me or am i missing something ?
Is there any system variables that affect this sort of thing ?

try this instead

(setq ss (ssget "_x"))
(setvar "qaflags" 1)
(command "_.explode" ss "")
(setvar "qaflags" 2)

[stephen.coff]

CCOWGIL,
Greatly appreciated, that did the trick.
Q. What are the "qaflags" doesn't say anything in help as to what they are ?
