Oops, I meant to say that -QSelect is not an option.

Try inserting the block on the defpoints layer instead of "0".
Auuuuuggghhh!!!! DON'T USE DEFPOINTS!!!

Oh, okay.

Yeah, there's no command line version of QSELECT.

Any other idea of how to select this from the command line?

I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use Defpoints again - I will slap the hands of anyone in this company that does!!


I appears that the Defpoints layer IS the problem. I changed the block from Defpoints to 'NoPlot' and reproduced the process and it works fine - no remnants of the 'Done' block left in the dwg when 'Laydelete' is used.

But, there HAS to be some way of getting rid of the OLD one from all of those dwgs without doing dwg by dwg.

unfortunately for you, LT does not lend itself well to automation.

Instead of fixing all that's been done at the end of this job, why don't you fix the drawings that need fixing at the beginning of the next job?

Craig, do have access to a full version of Acad? If so, it would be quite simple to fix those other dwgs. If not, I'd be happy to do it for you if you could post them to an FTP site (or the Lillypad if OK with Mark....how much space do these dwgs take up?).

I appreciate the offer, but alot of our dwgs are Security dwgs that are private and cannot be shared with anyone but the owner.

Thanks anyway.

Can you write a script to delete blocks called DONE and run it on multiple drawings?

That's pretty much what I'd be doing, since I'd use ObjectDBX to do the work....the drawings would never even be opened for viewing. :-) But, I do understand why they can't be let out of the office.

The Current job, I spent the time to go thru all 100ish pages 'cleaning' them of this block. - I just HATE when things aren't 'right'.

I still haven't come up with a way to do this thru a macro, but haven't give up yet.


There just HAS to be another way around the barn with LT.
