I have been experimenting with this lisp routine and I can't get it to work.
I have a number of block to delete but if the DELBLK doesn't work I will have to go thru each drawing and delete the hard way.
I have no idea why it fails. Anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks

Hi Thracian,

I've tried the delblk.lsp routine on my system and seems to work fine. I have heard of other issues though, so not isolated. I'm not a lisp expert, so I wish I could help better...

However, here are some suggestions...

This site has something similar, except needs to be called using VBA, which isn't difficult either...
http://www.lee-mac.com/deleteblocks.html

You can also see other source code here... and modify to suit your needs...

There is also this, which may be used indirectly to select the block name, then delete it (in 2 steps).

I hope those help!

Please respond if you find a solution/success! Thanks!
