    Hi Veera,

    If you want to find which of all the paths are multi-part paths as opposed to regular paths, then you can first check the ROD-iness of the path and then check for sub-parts, this will identify it as a multipart path. For example:

    ;; find the rod shapes, not specifically paths
    setof(sh cv~>shapes rodGetObj(sh))
    => (db:0x4532da92 db:0x4532da94)
    ;; find and select all rod path objects
    mapc('geSelectFig setof(sh cv~>shapes sh~>objType=="path" && rodGetObj(sh)))
    => (db:0x4532da92 db:0x4532da94)
    ;; iterate over all shapes and find only rod paths that have sub-parts
    foreach(sh cv~>shapes
     when(sh~>objType=="path" && rod=rodGetObj(sh)
       when(rod~>subShapes
        geSelectFig(sh))
      )
    )

     I hope that this is what you were looking for.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
