Topic: Ashade

[One Shot]

Does anyone have a lisp routine that will kill the Ashade layer?

[Keith™]

Try this ....

Code: [Select]


(command "erase" (ssget "x" '((8 . "ASHADE"))))


[CADaver]

Try this ....

Code: [Select]


(command "erase" (ssget "x" '((8 . "ASHADE"))))


Add a purge to that:

Code: [Select]


(command "erase" (ssget "x" '((8 . "ASHADE")))
                "-purge" "la" "ashade" "n"
                "-purge" "bl" "ave_*" "n"
)
)


And bye-bye


(editted) make that a -purge

ASHADE layer can be and is usually locked as well, so you need to unlock it.  -David

Can't get it to work.  Is there anything else that goes with it?

[Mark]

What is it ?

What is it ?

The code that is listed above.

[Mark]

What is the error you get?
Is the ASHADE layer locked? as noted above by David.

Did you try something like this;

Code: [Select]


(sslength (ssget "x" '((8 . "ASHADE"))))

Is there anyother coding to go with this?

Nope! That's it. Have a look at C:\<AutoCAD Install>\Help\acad_dev.chm.

You need to be aware that layer ASHADE will return every time you issue a RENDER command

[Keith™]

CADaver that may indeed be the issue....

I'm confused, what's wrong with the presence of the ashade layer, or the defpoints layer for that matter? I could be bothered if one of our users wanted either deleted; hello, bigger fish to fry.

I welcome enlightenment though, I miss the salient point more frequently than I'd like to admit.

[Keith™]

well.... for me it is not the issue of whether the layer should or should not be deleted, it is whether it can be. The answer of course is yes it can be and the code in this thread shows how....
I learned long ago, don't bother asking too many questions, just give the boss what he wants. In this case OneShot is the boss and I for one was merely attempting to answer the question at hand, not convolute it with more questions.

I am aware that it will return when the Render command is used.  The reason that I want to delete is to ensure that no one puts anything on that layer.  I will never delete the defpoints layer.  

Keith, thank you for your response.
