Hello -

 

Is it possible to write a lisp routine that will select all blocks in a drawing and erase their solid history?

 

I have a file with hundreds of blocks, all of which are lugging around a mess of extra geometry in their solid history, (shoddy draftsmanship got me into this mess, I know now better ways to approach this project). Anyways, my file is huge and is crashing all the time.

 

As a test, I exploded all the blocks and erased their histories, and the file shrunk to 1/15 of its original size! But I need the entities to remain blocks.

 

Before I spend 3 days in the block editor erasing by hand, I thought I see if any of you smart folks have a better way...

 

Thanks!

Is having a solid history only in later versions of ACAD?

 

Excuse my ignorance, but I have never heard of such a term - perhaps I'm too young :oops:
