Pass selectionset to cmdS

[schoeller]

Dear all,

I am trying to pass a selection set as follows to cmsS:

@Ap.Command()
def doit2():
    try:
        db = Db.curDb()
        model_space = db.modelSpace()
        objs = []
        name = 'test1'

        for solid_id in model_space.objectIds(Db.Solid3d.desc()):
            objs.append(Db.Solid3d(solid_id))

        ss = Ed.SelectionSet()
        for obj in objs:
            ss.add(obj.id())

        resbuf = [
            (Rx.LispType.kText, "_SUPPRESS"),
            (Rx.LispType.kText, "N"),
            (Rx.LispType.kText, name),
            (Rx.LispType.kSelectionSet, ss),
            (Rx.LispType.kNone, 0),
        ]
        result = Ed.Core.cmdS(resbuf)

    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err) 

I return the command line halts for input at

Select entities [selection options (?)]:

Hints on how to improve to avoid command line interactions are welcome.

Best

Seb

try

@Ap.Command()
def doit2():
    try:
        db = Db.curDb()
        model_space = db.modelSpace()
        objs = []
        name = 'test1'

        for solid_id in model_space.objectIds(Db.Solid3d.desc()):
            objs.append(Db.Solid3d(solid_id))

        ss = Ed.SelectionSet()
        for obj in objs:
            ss.add(obj.id())
        ss.ssSetFirst()

        resbuf = [
            (Rx.LispType.kText, "_SUPPRESS"),
            (Rx.LispType.kText, "N"),
            (Rx.LispType.kText, name),
            (Rx.LispType.kSelectionSet, ss),
            (Rx.LispType.kNone, 0),
        ]
        result = Ed.Core.cmdS(resbuf)

    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)

if that doesn't work, you can try Select Previous, I think is "_p"

[schoeller]

Thx, it says Unable to recognize command "TEST1" and creates a suppresion N

[CEXT-Dan]

can you use sendStringToExecute?

@Ap.Command("doit2", Ap.CmdFlags.USEPICKSET | Ap.CmdFlags.REDRAW)
def doit2():
    try:
        db = Db.curDb()
        model_space = db.modelSpace()
        objs = []
        name = "test1"

        for solid_id in model_space.objectIds(Db.Solid3d.desc()):
            objs.append(Db.Solid3d(solid_id))

        ss = Ed.SelectionSet()
        for obj in objs:
            ss.add(obj.id())
        ss.ssSetFirst()

        strtoexec = "_SUPPRESS {} _P \n".format(name)
        Ap.DocManager().sendStringToExecute(Ap.curDoc(), strtoexec, True, True, False)

    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)

this seems to work

@Ap.Command()
def doit2():
    try:
        db = Db.curDb()
        model_space = db.modelSpace()
        objs = []
        name = 'test1'

        for solid_id in model_space.objectIds(Db.Solid3d.desc()):
            objs.append(Db.Solid3d(solid_id))

        ss = Ed.SelectionSet()
        for obj in objs:
            ss.add(obj.id())

        resbuf = [
            (Rx.LispType.kText, "_SUPPRESS"),
            (Rx.LispType.kText, "_N"),
            (Rx.LispType.kText, name),
            (Rx.LispType.kSelectionSet, ss),
            (Rx.LispType.kText, ""), # extra string to simulate enter
            (Rx.LispType.kVoid, 0)
        ]
        result = Ed.Core.cmdS(resbuf)

    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)

also if you want, you can turn off cmdecho

@Ap.Command()
def doit2():
    try:
        db = Db.curDb()
        model_space = db.modelSpace()
        objs = []
        name = 'test1'

        for solid_id in model_space.objectIds(Db.Solid3d.desc()):
            objs.append(Db.Solid3d(solid_id))

        ss = Ed.SelectionSet()
        for obj in objs:
            ss.add(obj.id())
            
        auto = Ed.AutoSysVar("CMDECHO", 0) # -----

        resbuf = [
            (Rx.LispType.kText, "_SUPPRESS"),
            (Rx.LispType.kText, "_N"),
            (Rx.LispType.kText, name),
            (Rx.LispType.kSelectionSet, ss),
            (Rx.LispType.kText, ""), # extra string to simulate enter
            (Rx.LispType.kVoid, 0)
        ]
        result = Ed.Core.cmdS(resbuf)

    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)

I think I have a mistake though, the last item should be (Rx.LispType.kNone, 0) and not (Rx.LispType.kVoid, 0)
