History of solids

[ARGV]

I think a message was already asked for this, but I'm asking again.

 

I want to go into each block and delete the history from all solids inside the block. Actually, I just want to delete ALL history of solids (we accidentally had SHOWHIST set to 1).

 

Anyone know where autocad keeps the solid history, or any way of deleting it? I'm assuming that just turning off the SHOWHISTORY property will not necessarily erase the history. ?

 

thanks,

 

argv.

SOLIDHIST

 

Type:IntegerSaved in DrawingInitial value:1

Controls the default History property setting for new and existing objects. When set to 1, composite solids retain a “history” of the original objects contained in the composite.

 

0 Sets the History property to None for all solids. No history is retained.

 

1 Sets the History property to Record for all solids. All solids retain a history of their original objects.

To remove a solid’s history

1. If the Properties palette is not displayed, click A>Tools>Palettes> Properties.
   
2. In a drawing, select a 3D solid.
   
3. On the Properties palette, Solid History area, under History, select None.

Command entry: BREP

Removes the history from 3D solid primitives and composite solids

 

Command entry: brep

Select objects: Use an object selection method and press ENTER when you finish

The history of the selected solids is removed. The solid no longer retains a history of the original parts from which the solid was created, and thus, its original parts cannot be selected and modified.

If you use BREP on a solid primitive, the solid primitive is no longer a true primitive and cannot be manipulated as such (through grips and the Properties palette).

 

 

Sorry about the bad images, Copied from the ACAD help section and needed to modify images with doctored text.

Thanks for your reply. I figured out that you can just set the "history" property for a solid to :vlax-false and all the history will go away for each solid you iterate through.

 

Thanks!
