This is what your menu lines should look like I added one line for testing, you must copy and paste the code to notepad and save Blkins.lsp to a supported Autocad path, or else edit the (Load "c:\\yourdirectory\\your path\\etc\\Blkins") to suit, you can give it any name you like, just match. So pick "Load blocks" only need to do once. ***MENUGROUP=STRUCTURAL_STEEL ***POP12 **CTOPopSTRUCTURAL_STEEL [Structural Steel] [load blocks]^c^c(load "blkins") [->UB] [610UB125Test]^C^C(blkins "UniversalBeams_610UB125") [610UB125]^C^C-INSERT UniversalBeams_610UB125;scale;1; [610UB113]^C^C-INSERT UniversalBeams_610UB113;scale;1; [610UB101]^C^C-INSERT UniversalBeams_610UB101;scale;1; [->UC] [310UC158]^C^C-INSERT UniversalColumns_310UC158;scale;1; [310UC137]^C^C-INSERT UniversalColumns_310UC137;scale;1; [310UC118]^C^C-INSERT UniversalColumns_310UC118;scale;1; [310UC96.8]^C^C-INSERT UniversalColumns_310UC96.8;scale;1; Blkins.lsp

Seems like your AutoCAD folder is named "ACADR13" so make sure you are reflecting that correctly in your batch file. In your case it would be: SET ACAD=C:\ACADR13\SUPPORT;C:\ACADR13\FONTS;C:\ACADR13\ADS SET ACADCFG=C:\ACADR13 SET ACADDRV=C:\ACADR13\DRV C:\ACADR13\ACAD %1 %2 Attached is my ACADR13.BAT for reference.

you just want to delete the blocks with geo in the name? As mentioned before the filter command should work or something like this maybe? (defun c:t1 ( / ss i ) (if (setq ss (ssget "x" (list (cons 0 "insert") (cons 2 "*geo*")))) (repeat (setq i (sslength ss)) (entdel (ssname ss (setq i (1- i)))))))

When you add a pair of angle brackets <> in your text property, that inserts the measurement and allows you to use any other text around it. Your example would appear as "<> NOM" in the text field but show up as "100 NOM" in the dimension (assuming the measurement is 100).

There are a couple of different ways to add text to a dimension. A simple Internet search on "add text to AutoCAD dimensions" will bring up plenty of links to click on. Is the text going to be above or below the dimension?

Why not Paste as Block before deleting rather than take a chance on losing those objects? Messy way of creating blocks with unintelligible names. If you explain what you're trying to accomplish you may get some useful suggestions. I added a "Paste as Group" to the 5 Paste options installed with AutoCAD and use RCDATA_16_NEWGROUP as the image for it. This is the macro for it: ^C^C_pasteblock;\(setq LstBlk(vla-get-Name (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast))));_explode;_last;_-group;_create;*;;_previous;;(command "-purge" "B" LstBlk "N")(setq LstBlk nil)

I guess you're referring to the Properties palette scroll bar? Yes, it is thin but there is no way to adjust that within Autocad. If it bothers you, I think QuickPik is probably your only option. Have you tried it? I stopped using the Properties palette a few years ago. I use Quick Properties and customize it so I only see the properties that I need instead a big palette full of stuff I have to scroll through.
