what can i say, i write the way i think (randomly thought through, and never consistant)
well in the lisp world i sorta never put too much thought into error checking, or generally prettiness... still coming to terms with the parenthesis...(where's my curly brace!) so my coding style is sorta a 'hey this works now and tomorrow I'll figure the rest out', and then 'hey i can add this and make it do this' before i make the first set of stupidity better. (that's why I'm going to school... learn the right way)
as for mp's ghosting procedures, haven't heard of them... but I'll look around. just trying to learn some magic.
the problem originated with a co-worker that is creating blocks outside of my library that are inserted as a temp then removed and the real block is inserted... and I'm not a fan of multiple copies (say 3+) of my blocks floating around.... then it got out of hand and i started wondering how i may dig deeper in the dxf....I'm still just dxf and basic lisp like, haven't really touched the visual lisp stuff yet, working myself up to that.
