This is 1.5m file of elevations. Trying to get anything like some clean geometry to paste into a R7 document is a GD nuisance. First off is all the imported bloc defs which even after doing an explode all blocks command and deleting all block defs there’s still an error advising to open the block manager to delete nested items - but there are no nested items.
The beachball time demanded by this clusterF is appalling at times even crashing the app.
There needs to be some importation option that eliminates all this persnickety horse poop with block defs and so o
Hello - open the file, select everything and ExplodeBlock, then Purge, with UnusedBlockDefinitions=Yes That leaves a block that has no instances in the file - this is weird, to me, but it can be deleted in BlockManager. While that does seem incorrect, I am not sure I follow from that, quite, to the vehemence I detect in your comments - am I missing the problem?
That’s flippin brilliant!
I think I can make that a custom command in the prefs?
Is there a means to paste an icon on the new command?
Still - after running the script - when I select all and copy, the application stalls - beach balling and DWG and those oh so useful ...
Then finally returns after about 2 minutes. But then trying to paste the contents in a new document there’s apparently nothing there. Perhaps there’s to much for the clipboard? At one point I noticed an error involving a missing font.
Pascal,
I don’t know what I’m failing to do correctly but I’m again plagued with blocks that cannot be found much less exploded. And running the script you gave me is no use.
Are you unchecking Import unreferenced blocks and Import unreferenced layers when you read the dwg file?
When I do that and then explode and purge, there is one block left called _OBLIQUE, which is an arrow definition used by the dimstyle STANDARD.
