Check For Block Insert in Paper Space

[vferrara]

Hello AUGI Members,

Is there a way, using a lisp routine to, determine if a specific block (Myblock.dwg) is inserted in Paper Space on a drawing file....??

I tried using the Tblsearch approach but that method finds the block even if it is inserted in Model Space.

I want to check if the block is inserted in Paper Space and then do something...!

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Regards,
Vince

This should find all inserts that are called ' MyDrawing ' that are not in modelspace.

(setq ss (ssget "_X" '((0 . "INSERT") (2 . "MyDrawing") (-4 . "<NOT") (410 . "Model") (-4 . "NOT>"))))

I didn't think of that.

Wouldn't this work also?

(ssget "_X" '((0 . "INSERT") (2 . "MyDrawing") (67 . 1)))

That worked on a quick test also. I didn't know about that one. I will have to see what code 67 is. Thanks.

You're welcome Vince. R.K's should also, as it is basically the same, as the 67 bit is for model vs paper space flag.
