detach datalinks possible?

[pvd]

Hi Guys,

 

I have several datalinks (dxe) in my dwg that aren't useful anymore. But it seems like it's not possible to detach them. Rightclicking on them only gives the option to update. Anybody knows how to detach unnecessary datalinks?

thanks very much!

Yes, there is a solution, i found it somewhere on the web or on this forum, i don't remember , here's what you got to do:

 

1. rename or delete the .dxe files you don't need anymore so autocad doesn't find them.

2. paste this in the commandline:

 

(dictremove (namedobjdict) "ACAD_DATALINK")

 

3.save and close your drawing

4.open the drawing and they should be gone

 

good luck!

Thanks Tommy, it works but now the data links I didn't want to detach, are gone as well, while I didn't delete them...Not such a problem at the moment but what if I want to keep some links in my dwg?

You re-insert them , honestly, i don't know.
