    Is there a lisp routine or method to remove one copy at a time ,where the
    whole drawing has been copied over the original several times with the same
    insertion point.

    Thanks

  2. I've got a routine on my site that will delete *all* duplicates in a
    drawing, but they have to be exact duplicates.
    It's on my LISP page, and its called deldbl.lsp

    Why would you want to remove the duplicates "one copy at a time"?

    Worked a treat , after using your lisp, with 1 layer on at time . It reduced
    the file from 4 Meg to a 1 Meg.
    Thanks again

  6. Sounds like some of Gadbarry's old files.

    He never got over UNDO.

  7. On a really bloated file, that's the thing to do because the routine takes
    an item and then compares it to every other one until it finds a match. When
    you pare down the selection set, it really speeds up the processing time.
