    Error: exceeded maximum number of selection set

    Your autolisp routines are not coded very well, i.e. refer to AutoCAD documentation on selection sets (ssget), I quote, "Selection sets consume AutoCAD temporary file slots, so AutoLISP is not permitted to have more than 128 open at one time. If this limit is reached, AutoCAD refuses to...

    inserting path and filename

    If I have understood your original question properly, I think you should try Plot Stamp in AutoCAD, hopefully thats your working platform. I am not sure which versions contains this feature, certainly AutoCAD 2002 has the feature.

    Probably if I get a sample drawing to enable completion of the code to your specs.

    Hatching individually ?????

    Try this code which I created quickly, I think it will work well, but it still needs to be developed to ensure that it does not affect autocad system variables. Tell me your results. I have tried it on a drg with four simple rectangles only. (Defun c:htc () (prompt "\nSelect Objects...

    Lisp Routine

    I have analysed the (command &quot;.text&quot;)'s prompt sequence for the different drawings. On all of my drawings the sequence is as follows: Specify start point of text or [Justify/Style]: Specify height <0.300>: .3 Specify rotation angle of text <0.00>: Enter text: 56 Whereas this other...

    The routine prompts for text height, hence non-zero text height.

    Lisp Routine

    If I run a lisp which inserts text i.e. (command &quot;.text&quot; pt1 txth1 0 n2) in a certain drawing, Only 0 (zero) is inserted for all the points I require, yet my expected results should be say 56 57 or 58. If I run the same routine on drawings which I created i get the right answer. Is...
