select cline without the action of user

DieFab

Hi everyone. Is there a way to catch anything (lets say two clines) in the selection set without the need of the user to manualy select them? 

for example, if I need to catch some thing I use:

Variable = axlGetSelSet( axlSelect( ?prompt "Select what you need." ) )

and then I manually select what I need with the mouse.  But I don't want to wait for the mouse selection. I'm not able to get the dbid of the clines I want, but I do have the position. Is there a way to select things just including their position directly in the code?   like indicating the coordinates  or some thing??

thanks. Have a wonderful one

    Try looking up these commands and see if they'll do what you need:

    axlSingleSelectPoint, axlAddSelectPoint, axlSingleSelectBox, axlAddSelectBox
