    I don't know if the attached files are of any use to you.

    You will need to alter the filter.txt file to filter.dcl as the forum doesn't recognise .dcl files.

    Nice lisp!!

    There is a small problem though.

    after the selection the filter is applied but when pressing "ENTER" or right-cilcking with the mouse the selected objects are cleared (see attched video).

    I tried to strock out the "IF" Statment in line 2636:

    (if (and (/= 0 (getvar "cmdactive"))
    (= 1 what_next)
    )
    ret_list
    (princ)
    )

    but it didn't worked.

    is there a way to make the lisp keep the selection?

    Thanks,

    Aridzv.

    @aridzv,

    Apologies, I didn't test it as it isn't my lisp :-(

    Attached is another by Rakesh Rao, which is similar, but doesn't allow you to save your filters.

    I did a quick test and the selection stays highlighted.

    The same applies to renaming the .txt file.

    I know precious little about lisp, so if you need anything changing you will need to get help from one of the experts on here

    Hi @David Waight and thanks for the reply.

    when loading the lisp I get this Error:

    "Error: Cannot find 'HGSORT.LSP' file that is required for FILTER command to work" (See attached screenshot).

    do you have this LSP file?

    thanks,

    Aridzv.

    *EDIT:

    Found the LISP in this post.

    see attached file as well.
