Re: remove data link from drawing??
Could you try my updated version. I've uploaded it to the Caddons sourceforge project. It's available under the source version numbering (SVN) system, listing any new revisions (so you can view / download the newest when there's a future update).
http://caddons.svn.sourceforge.net/v...t.lsp?view=log
I've added error logging to this, so it saves a log file if an error occurred. See the command-line for the path to this file. Then you can attach it to a message ... it should help me to debug - hopefully :roll:
Also it now includes the dialog inside the LSP file ... so you no longer need 2 files saved into a support folder. Just load the LSP. Note changes in comment block at the top of this file.

Re: remove data link from drawing??
Thanks for this lisp I am struglling with many datalinks within a drawing and this helps no end.
We work on a project basis and have a different spreadsheet per project. Do you know of any way to change the path of datalinks.
For instance I have created a series of datalinks to a spreadsheet and want to use these on another project. When I copy one link to a new drawing it brings in all the other links with it. It would be nice to be able to change the path of these to look at a new spreadsheet instead of having to make a new set for each job.

Well you can edit links, you can even make them into relative paths. Select a cell of the linked table entity, then right click --> Data Links --> Edit Data Link <Link Name>.

Re: remove data link from drawing??
Thanks I've tried that and its Ok but takes a while with 80 odd links on a network drive. If I try to set No path and click the ok button there's no responce and relative path gives an error "Relative path cannot be assigned. I tried dxfout and editing the file with a new path but it wont run. Autocad says its not a valid dxf file. Any other Ideas?

Yep that was the original intent behind my DictEdit routine (also had 10's of links in 100's of drawings which needed updating and found that the built-in editor is just too slow - I got irritated after editing the 2nd link).
Unfortunately I never finished the editing portion, too much work. And now that I'm mainly using Revit I don't have much need for those links anymore. As for the DXF route - that is quite a hassle yes. You need to make sure to export as a full DXF (not a partial) then open the DWF as if it's a drawing. Else you may try to use a partial and then import it using DxfIn, but I think it doesn't work too well. Sorry, I've not found any other way to update many links in a more efficient manner.
Re: remove data link from drawing??
Well thanks again for your help.
Re: remove data link from drawing??
Go to:http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/d...asp?fileID=919 and download the "DXEDEL" file after that go to the file autocad and write "appload" in the command line. look for the file dxedel and load it. After that run the dxedel command and your headache disappear. Good luck.
