Removing Extra Entities

Removing Extra Entities

Removing Extra Entities

(OP)
Hello All,

Does anyone know of a good lisp routine that will remove extra/duplicates entities in R14?  Most of the drawings are several years old and have had some poor CAD jockeys creating some massively bloated files - sometimes containing up to 8 copies of the same entities all sitting on top of each other. I've found some utilities from www.cadalog.com but they don't work at all. I hoping that somebody knows of a commercial application that will aid in cleaning up these drawings.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

RE: Removing Extra Entities

Chris,
Did you download "deldup.zip" lisp from that site? I've heard a few people say it works okay for them.
