Selecting an Entity

For selection, you'll use a combination of global functions. First, use the acedSSGet() function to obtain the selection set. Then, use the acedSSNameX() function to obtain a subentity GS marker for the selected entity.

int acedSSGet(
    const char * str,
    const void * pt1,
    const void * pt2,
    const struct resbuf * filter,
    ads_name ss);
 
int acedSSNameX(
    struct resbuf ** rbpp,
    const ads_name ss,
    const long i);
