deleting blocks

deleting blocks

deleting blocks

(OP)
Is there a way to delete a group of blocks out of a bigger group of blocks.

Ex. I have about 60 different blocks on the same layer and invaring amounts. I need to delete all instances of a specific block.

Can this be done without scanning the whole drawing and manually picking them??

RE: deleting blocks

type this: erase [space bar] (ssx) [space bar] [space bar] B [space bar] type your block name, etc...

RE: deleting blocks

(OP)
Thanks

thats what I needed

RE: deleting blocks

IFR does that command of yours erase or delete the block as inquired?

RE: deleting blocks

if you type erase first, it erases.  If you type move first, it moves.  Erase and Delete are the same thing.  (SSX) is just a way of selecting object groups.
