I BEG of You!!! Think before you Explode...
« on: December 09, 2011, 08:32:26 AM »
PLEASE don't use a sand Hatch - Then explode it!!!

Espacially if it is on a layer with MANY other items!!

It is horribly difficult to clean every little grain of sand from that dwg.

If any of you have a tip how to do it, I would be THRILLED to hear it.

This person used it on the same layer as the walls, and the only option I see is to go thru the entire dwg and click on the LINES of the walls and change them to a different layer. Then delete that Sand layer, hoping that the Sand is the only thing on that layer.

I SO WISH that Autodesk never created that layer!!! - I HATE it!!!

Or at a minimum, make it so that you cannot explode it.

Use QSELECT to pick all lines with a length of "0" and erase. Done.

This code will delete all zero length lines (to a tolerance of 1e-8), in a selection:

Code: [Select]
(defun c:dzl ( / e i l s ) ;; Delete Zero-Length Lines
    (if (setq s (ssget "_:L" '((0 . "LINE"))))
        (repeat (setq i (sslength s))
            (setq e (ssname s (setq i (1- i)))
                  l (entget e)
            )
            (if (equal (cdr (assoc 10 l)) (cdr (assoc 11 l)) 1e-8)
                (entdel e)
            )
        )
    )
    (princ)
)

Does LT not have the quick select filter?

I just select everything & filter by lines with length = 0.

Sorry folks, I just found out that I forgot to post my 'Thanks' for the suggestions.

QSelect lines les that zero worked great.

BTW, I chewed out our guy that used then exploded that Hatch. - He kinda laughed at me and said he figured that I wouldn't like it.a

Go figure.

we had a guy like that, here.  he was an ISP (Contractor)  I got so fed up that i banned him from accessing the server.  This caused quite a commotion i tell you.  As all of the other ISP's were in a bit of a fret.  "This is the way we always worked" they'd say.  No it wasnt would be the reply, you were just let get on with it running rough shod over the CAD standards.  My argument (which was upheld by senior magement) was if we got a contractor to come into our buidling and install or do some remidial works we would want him to do it to a particular standard  (ie the building regualtions at least)  if he did not do that, then he either repaired the work or he wasnt paid.  And he wasn't paid anymore money if he needed to repair it.  So, in far as reasonalby practical, adhereance to the CAD standards they are all behaving themselves now.  Any deviation from the CAD standards needs to be preagreed and resonable justifaction must be provided prior to any deviation.

What about SelectSimilar?
It will work with LT?
