Help Developing LISP

[winks77706723111]

Im trying to write a new lisp routine however it is not performing correctly. I must be missing something. The code looks like this:

(defun C:HG()
(command"bedit")
(command"selectsimilar"(ssget))
(command"erase")
(command"hatchgenerateboundary"(ssget))
(princ)
)

It should be simply but it keeps hung up on the first (ssget) and doesn't go any further. I want to be able to perfrom a user select then hit enter to continue with the erase command. Any advice would be helpful.

Can you describe what you are trying to do and attach a sample drawing? (Use go advanced button to attach files)

Peter,

I will try my best to explain. Our company has a huge library of markup blocks we have to edit. The process I am using to edit goes like this. I click on the block to go into block editor, then select only the lines or polyline (whichever it has) around the outside border of the block and deleting the lines. Then next I want to select the hatch and generate an new hatch border that is a polyline. You may be asking now why am I deleting the polyline and then creating an new one. This is because whoever made the blocks before me did not keep it consistent. Some are polylines and some are just multiple lines. The goal is to have all polylines so no matter which one it is I need the code the delete then generate so there is only the need for one lisp code. I've attached a sample of one of the markups.
