Deleting Layers |
|
|
Is there a simpler way to delete layers that still have objects in them (without having to turn all other layers off, then select all objects to delete, etc. etc.)?

Look at the Express Tools LAYDEL. Be careful, It takes no prisoners. It will
delete everything on that layer. |

LAYDEL (in Express Tools) will erase all entities on the selected layer and optionally purge the layer.

If you have Express Tools, try LAYMRG instead of LAYDEL, and merge the
layer(s) with layer 0 (zero): gives you an opportunity to decide what really
needs to be deleted and what you need as far as entities and text etc.

If you don't have express try this it's been around for a while.
