Delete or remove a block

[alijahed]

Hi All,

 

I've attached a blank drawing which has a block. but it's hiding somewhere and I can't find it and I don't know how to remove it. If you want to see that block you can find it in Insert>Block or Design Center.

 

The other thing is, how can I get rid of those two Layers (ASL_Text and ASL_Dim). maybe those layers are using in that block!

 

That's really annoying:cry:

 

Cheers

try out LAYDEL with the [name] option, it will force delete any layers, used or unused.

That was a cool command I like that. It gave me a bloody power like Terminator to go there and smash that block.

but what about if I want to remove that block and keeping those layers as well.

Ok your file has got me stumped

but i did manage to get around it. set your MLEADERSTYLE to standard, and then purge the STD. then you can now purge the detailcallout block.

i dont know how they are linked but that seems to have done the trick

i had a look at your drawing, you got 24 blank mtexts, 72 blank texts(in layer ASL_text), 1 blank hatch and 1 paperspace vport (in layer asl_dim) and no insert of that block,

but still i was not able to purge that block and vport.

yeah creeped me out a bit when i did a select all in model space...

Cheers

QUICKSELECT; try to zoom out in MS first. in the dialog box drop down the Object Type and you'll see the present entities (w/c in your drawing has Mtext, Hatch and Text entities).

or you could do a select all (CTRL+A)

Here's a screen of your file in MS

another way:

 

_.pselect>all

I don't know why! on mine it found 97 objects but it appears as a one blue point!

Check your GRIPOBJLIMIT Variable, maybe its set to 1.

i cant think of any other variable for controlling grip numbers

[alijahed]

How do u know about these commands!!!

It was a stupid question at first but I learned many things out of it

 

but GRIPOBJLIMIT was 100 not 1!!??

actually the last one was just a system variable. you can check out all the system variables in SYSVDLG, but i Cant think of a setting w/c limits your display of grips to only 1 when selecting all. you sure you zoomed out before you did a select all

[alijahed]

I just give up... and going to put another question 4 u experts
