How to Erase all AutoCAD layer contents in 1 Click?
If you use AutoCAD, you are probably aware of how time-consuming and tedious it can be to remove all the contents of a layer without deleting the layer itself. You have to manually select each object or use filters and selection sets, and then press the delete key. This process can be especially challenging if you are working with a complex drawing that has multiple layers and objects.
But what if I told you there is a way to erase all the contents of a layer in just one click? Yes, you heard me right. One-click. And you don’t need any special software or plugins to do it. All you need is a simple AutoCAD LISP routine that you can load and run in your AutoCAD session. In this blog post, I will show you how to use a LISP routine that can erase all the contents of a layer in one click.
After you have uploaded the LISP file, you need to type 'ELAY' to activate it.
Select an object to erase all layer contents.
Congratulations! You have successfully erased all the contents of a layer with just one click using a LISP routine. This LISP routine can be used multiple times on any drawing you want. Additionally, you can customize the LISP routine to fit your specific needs. For example, you can add options to lock or freeze the layer after deleting its contents.
