    Default Exploding 100's of Groups in a drawing file

    we have a drawing from another firm and it has 100+ groups in it. is there a way to explode the groups in mass without having to go through the object group dialog box everytime?

    you could just shut groups off for what you need Ctrl + H

    Try this bit of code.

    Code:
    (repeat (length (setq gdict (dictsearch (namedobjdict) "ACAD_GROUP")))
      (if (eq (caar gdict) 3)
        (command ".-GROUP" "_E" (cdar gdict))        
      )
    (setq gdict (cdr gdict))
    )
