Erase Text And Side Lines

[mehrdad]

Hi,

I have lots of AutoCAD drawings and i want to delete the word shows in the attached image along with the side lines.

is it possible to do this with a script or lisp?

Thank you

Might they be on a layer which has nothing else which you WANT?  If so you could either turn that layer off, or use LAYISO to isolate only that layer on your screen, then select everything and ERASE.  It can certainly be done other more sophisticated ways.

 

Are they on an expendable layer?

If so I would probably do it with an ACTION RECORDER MACRO, which is pretty quick and relatively painless for those lisp-challenged

users like me.  I use it ALL THE TIME, open 25 drawings at a time, and bang through them.

 

Are you able to post a sample drawing?

STrip out any proprietary information, we just need to see the linework and set up of layers.

Thank you Dadgad,

I have a problem because I have 4000 sheet that I have to change something on them and if I want change every 25 sheet at the same time It will take a lot of time and I don't have much time.
Could you help me if you can to increase number of pages from 25 to 100?
Thank you so much for your attention

What is it that needs changing/

 

Check out this link to the legendary LeeMac's    Batch Find & Replace lisp.

You don't even ned to open more than one drawing to use it.  Done in a minute or two if it is text?

Thanks Lee!

Are you looking to change the BOM callout for item #5?

Lee's lisp would do that, just open one to define your search parameters.

Better screenshot, more on point

If the problem is TEXT, no problem.

 

Hoping BFIND can rescue you.

Open a single file from the folder or directory where your files are  >

Define your desired changes

Browse to the directory, if it is not your current Directory

Look at Options possibly?

 

Hit OK and it will go through your 4,000 files in a few minutes, no drama.

Don't forget to make a modest donation to Lee, if you can, as well as a tip of the hat.

 

 

If not maybe Tharwat has something on his website.

This one of Tharwat's looks like it might be a good one to know about.

You can try to lead a horse to water...It will even print out a report of all of the drawings in which it was founf and changed!  LeeMac RULES!

Thank you very much for your guidance, But how do we eliminate the sidelines? 

[Dadgad]

You are welcome.

It is 9:30 p.m. and after my workout I didn't go down for dinner because I hoped that I might be able to help you.

Sorry I don't know any magical way to eliminate them.

I am afraid you will be opening those 4,000 drawings after all, and I am going to step away from the magic box now and enjoy some dinner.

Good luck with them, maybe another forum member will know a clever way.

In the sample dwg everything is on 1 layer making life very hard, does the dwg exist with different layers ?

 

The only way I see is

Find plines

Also look for a line touching, 

If line exists get the other 2 lines

get text inside.

Erase all the objects

 

You have some small pline boxes with say a single number but no line attached so take it for granted that is to remain.

 

Using Aeccorconsole would be the way to go with a lisp.
