Block referens delete

[Fredricc]

Hello cadtutor!

 

im serching for a function or even better, a lisp for this!

 

If i got 200 block's with different names, each block are in a separate layer, now i want to get rid of them all from the drawing! some function i can pick them on a easy way what block reference i want to delete ? 

 

Any easy way to do this smooth ?

 

If i got 200 single points with xyz in 200 different layers, how do i delete just the single points, and keep blocks,lines and so on!

The app store has some useful and free stuff:

You can also use the FILTER command, Select Filter > "Block" > Add to List > Layer > Enter a wildcard match (like "Q*" to get all layers that start with Q) > Add to List > Apply.

Please upload a small sample drawing containing a block that my program was unable to delete.

[Fredricc]

I was able to delete the blocks in your sample drawing successfully using my Delete Blocks program, both when selecting the block from the drawing and when choosing the block by name.

 

What platform are you using?

One way of deleting the points is to format them as crosses, and size them as 10000 (or bigger) absolute units. The points will spread out wider than any detail and you can erase them all with a crossing window.

I was responding to your original request about deleting points. Blocks is different.

I cannot guarantee the compatibility of any of my programs within ZWCAD; out of interest, what error do you receive?

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)))))))

@dlanorh  jip... I have my place on my couch back and I needed it tonight, had x-mas dinner but ate to much so just dry crackers for me the rest of the week

 

I'd rather fill in my tax return papers than my timesheet at the moment , have to specify everything I do down to the last drawing pfff so not much time to lisp I'm afraid...

For Frederic and Lee did find I think Dutch post about lisp-checker for ZWCad a U-tube. It may give better clue of error.

 

Had problems with Intellicad many years ago, subtle change to code required like 20 years ago.  Lee sent you email awhile ago about a problem  with Briscad and using one of your routines and error was  to do with a dcl.
