Good Evening Everyone; I usually post on the ADT customization group but felt this little nugget would help all of you LISPers out there working with AutoCAD. I am working on a super purge program for ADT (that completely cleans the drawing and makes it r14 compatible for a client) and wanted to post this here for anyone who needs to get rid of those pesky layer filters that just keep popping up after a while. This routine has been tested on 2002 only so no garuantees on 2004 (defun PurgeLayerFilters () (vl-load-com) (esp:InitAc) (if (and (= (vla-get-HasExtensionDictionary (vla-get-layers *AcDoc*)) :vlax-true) (= (vl-catch-all-error-p (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-item (list (vla-getextensiondictionary (vla-get-layers *AcDoc*)) "ACAD_LAYERFILTERS") ) ) ) ) (vlax-for x (vla-item (vla-getextensiondictionary (vla-get-layers *AcDoc*)) "ACAD_LAYERFILTERS") (vla-delete x) ) ) (esp:RelAc) ) (defun c:PLF () (PurgeLayerFilters)) The functions esp:InitAc and esp:RelAc are just a couple of automation routines to set the AutoCAD application, Document and Model Space as global variables (*AcApp*, *AcDoc* and *AcDocMs*) so you can substitute them as needed. If you wish, you can replace the esp:InitAc with (setq AcDoc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))), replace all instances of *AcDoc* with AcDoc and replace esp:RelAc with (vlax-release-object AcDoc) and (setq AcDoc nil) I added a command line access defun c:PLF so you can access this from the command line. Hope this helps anyone who needs it and any comments are welcome. P.S. Theres no error checking.
