Database handle V7 > V9
In V7 the handle of an element was displayed in the properties dialogue box but where is itin V9 ? I just can't find it. I need to know the handle occasionally and in V7 it was always there- very nice - but now I'm having a bit of a struggle.

Being informed about the handle of an entity looks like something that is useful to programmers, not to any regular users, or am I mistaken? For the properties bar, we thought not to bother users with handle information they will never use... Anyone else who is missing the handle information?(by the way: to see the handle of an entity, the LIST command can be used)

List will still give it to you.I don't use the Handle information, but still like the "old" Properties pop-up much better.

Hans, John ! Thanks to both of you, the list command does it for me (one is always learning).@Hans : Well, yes, I use the handles for programming but I don't really consider myself asa programmer, rather I'm a draughtsman with a limited knowledge of lisp, working on an application.CheersJörg

If you want to see just the handle you might try creating a toolbar button with:(princ (strcat "\nHandle: " (cdr (assoc 5 (entget (car (entsel)))))))(princ)
