Lisp: bcopyclip

Usage

(bcopyclip ss)

Arguments

ss
A selection set.

Return values

T on success or nil otherwise.

Example

In the following example, a better WMF picture is placed on the clipboard:

Command: (bcopyclip (ssget "X"))
T

Special Notes

• Although (ssget "X") retrieves all entities, only lines that are actually visible on the screen will be included on the clipboard.
• It might seem you could also use
  (command "BCOPYCLIP" "all" "")
  to automate creation of clipboard pictures. Unfortunately due to some strange AutoCAD behavior, this will cause a 'Incorrect data for command list request' error message by AutoCAD. Therefore, for automated output, use the lisp function (bcopyclip).
