HltNode - highlight polyline nodes temporarily

GrzegorzP

Hello
I would like to highlight polyline nodes temporarily. I need to see polylines nodes without choosing .
I have found this tool on cad forum. It is vlx file .But it works only in Autocad
Is any tool in bricscad to highlight polyline nodes temporarily?

Best regards
Grzegorz

You can simply use:
(sssetfirst nil ss)

Roy: (sssetfirst nil ss) doesn't work for me in v17, nor in v14 of the less user-friendly .dwg cad software. In both cases it highlights and selects the objects previously assembled as selection set ss. On a support page for the latter they seem to disavow it:
"AutoCAD no longer supports grips on unselected objects..."

Grzegorz: If a command is active, the grips appear when you hover over them. If no command is active, you can just select the polyline and then pick it again with Shift held down to unselect it.

@Anthony Apostolaros:
The sssetfirst function will highlight and grip the selection set. In an older AutoCAD implementation it was possible to only grip the set. In the OP's shoes I would use this function instead of spending time creating a custom grvecs-based routine (see here for an example of such a routine).
