frenkas Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Hello, I have a file where are some hidden objects, which I can select only by "select all" command or with CTRL+A. I can't select these object with select tool. When i select them with quick select, I see that there are: Block References (3) Text (9) I had some fortune with QTEXT - On command, as it uncovered some text after regenall. Can someone suggest how can i uncover/select the rest of objects? Quote
eldin Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Might want to check if the layer is frozen/locked.. Quote
frenkas Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 No, I've tripple checked that. Unlocked, unfroze and made visible all layers. I think I'll post the file I'm dealing with - it's there: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ne2jqw In the file there is one rectangle and those mysterious objects, which I want to make visible/selectable...

dbroada Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 It could be the text is empty. I *think* you can QSELECT empty text. Once you have it selected you can give it a value with the properties palette to view it or just erase it. What I do with blocks is look through the list in the insert dialogue box for any names I don't recognise. I then redefine them with a simple diagonal line. Once redefined you can select them then delete them. Pay particular attention with approach as sometimes somebody else has defined a widget in another block with the name sljkgskldjfklj. Redefining it will make the widget look very different! Quote
eldin Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 There are 3 Blocks in your drawing, "0303antpoz", even if i edit them there is nothing inside exept the block "0303antpoz".. A block including itself? Quote
dbroada Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 I can't access your link from work - if the file is small enough post it here. Quote
frenkas Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 I used VBA code, to run through those blocks and show me their names. Turned our they were really named: "0303antpoz" - so thanks eldin for that Idea! By using BEDIT I realized that that block is realy empty. So looks like we found the problem. Moreover, after explode these blocks disapear. So after this, next step is - how do I find empty blocks? I guess I should go to VBA forum and ask about how to get AcadBlockReference entities count Quote
