Save the current "selection set" and restore later

 From:  fcwilt

Hi,

I would like to be able to take a "snap shot" of the current state of selected/unselected objects and restore it when desired.

I know how to iterate over the objects and determine the selected/unselected state.

What I don't know how to do is save the information to a file that I can later read and restore the selection state.

For all I know this capability already exists and I simply don't know about it.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Frederick
