Hi, I have a problem that I have many drawings which contain number of the same block which should be hide. Based on tips from another threads I came up the following solution which I don't know how to utilize. First -> I use lisp which create new layer, then blocks with the same name are moved to this layer. For example something like this: (vl-load-com) ;Load VLisp extensions ;; Function to change bllocks to a layer by wildcard (defun Blk2Lay (LName ss / n en eo) (if (not (tblobjname "LAYER" LName)) ;Check if layer doesn't exist (command "._LAYER" "_Make" LName "") ;Make the layer ) ;_ end of if (setq n (sslength ss)) ;Initialize counter (while (>= (setq n (1- n)) 0) ;Step through all entities in selection set (setq en (ssname ss n) ;Get the nth EName eo (vlax-ename->vla-object en) ;Get the ActiveX object ) ;_ end of setq (vla-put-Layer eo LName) ;Change block reference to new layer ) ;_ end of while ) ;_ end of defun ;; Command to change blocks to a layer by wildcard (defun c:Blk2Lay (/ LName BWild ss) (if (setq LName (getstring "Enter the layer's name: ")) ;Get the layer's name (if (and (or (and (= (setq BWild (getstring ;Get wildcard, default as layer name (strcat "Enter the wildcard for the block name <*" LName "*>: ") ) ;_ end of getstring ) ;_ end of setq "" ) ;_ end of = (setq BWild (strcat "*" LName "*")) ;Default to LName ) ;_ end of and (and BWild (/= BWild "")) ) ;_ end of or (setq ss (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "INSERT") (cons 2 BWild)))) ;And some blocks found ) ;_ end of and (Blk2Lay LName ss) ;Perform the change ) ;_ end of if ) ;_ end of if (princ) ) ;_ end of defun Second - > I changed property of this layer to non visible. Third - > I applied above changes on selected drawings. Based on another example I found that there is possible to use LISP getfiles as well as ObjectDBX Wrapper which allow to use another function like below: //This is example of script which remove blocks with name "KOLKO' from selected drawings (defun c:dbtest ( / lst ) (if (setq lst (LM:getfiles "Select Drawings to Process" nil "dwg;dws;dwt")) (LM:odbx '(lambda ( doc ) (LM:deleteblocks doc '("KOLKO"))) lst t) (princ "\n*Cancel*") ) (princ) ) Can anyone help me how I can solve my problem?
