ReMark Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 You could try to WBlock out all the visible objects which should by definition not include what isn't there (a block that has no object). I read that back and it sounds really strange. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 You can apply quick select filters to select those blocks and then delete them all. No? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 In your drawing I selected all items. Then quick selected the blocks. Deleted them. Then purged the block reference. It obviously works in this instance. But if your drawing has other blocks and you cant be specific enough with your selection filter I can see it being an issue.

asos2000 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 that sound is good, but it is a long way cos I have to select the blocks one by one. Is there a way to select all the blocks which has no objects at one time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yes, you can use the quick select to filter the blocks by their unique values. Layers, colours, name etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
