    Default Delete multiple blocks in a drawing with part of the name

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Greetings.
    Someone can help me with this:
    I need to erase multiple blocks in a drawing that begin with "AB" or "BC", for example. How can I do this? Thanks for your help.

    @scamaru: Please take note that your question was moved by a moderator to a dedicated thread since was un-related to this one; you have an answer there, too.
