Lisp for Handle

[tguy]

How can i write a lisp to extract the handle of an object and then paste it in the dwg?

[miff]

real quick basics...

(setq ent (car (entsel "\nSelect entity: ")))
(setq handl (cdr (assoc 5 (entget ent))))
(command ".text" pause 0 handl "")

may need to play with the text command inputs if you are using a style with/without a set height.

It might be worth mentioning that you can also use a field to do this.
Not with the UI, but with lisp you can do it. You just need to extract the ObjectID and plug it in this Field string.
