Delete Similar Objects (Tip #2164) from Michel Chayer is another power editing tool. After loading the LISP code, type EFS at the AutoCAD Command prompt to start the function. Selecting an object means that all other objects that match in type, layer, line type, style or name are also deleted. For example, if you have a drawing with multiple arcs located on a specific layer, picking any one of the arcs while this command is active removes all of them. This code is very compact and well written -- it's worth examining in detail if you are learning about the manipulation of objects such as hatch and dimensions. Merci, Michel! |
