    How to get rid of undesirable styles in a drawing?

    Is it possibel to select all objects by style (all text objects by style 'Roman' for examble) and then just change style for all them? I

    I also have heard that I can somehow get rid of unused styles (which are already in drawing) by applying "standard enforcement". How can I doo that?

    Are there any other ways to accomplish what I want (replace/remove styles)?

    QSELECT is the command used to create selection sets using layer, object, style or any other characteristics.  Unfortunately it is missing from AutoCAD for MAC.  Also missing are the very useful tools for drawing standards.

    As a replacement for QUICKSELECT command you can try Lisp routine from my blog -

    Quick Select For Autocad For Mac

    You can select single-line text objects by style with it:

     

    Command:  SSS
    Select objects for filtering (<Enter> - select all objects):
    Select objects:
     Search for - Text/Attdef/PLine/LIne/Circle/Point/Block/<ALL> - or PICK [Text/Attdef/PLine/LIne/Circle/Point/Block/ALL] <ALL>: t
     Selected: TEXT
     Search under what criteria - [Style/STring/Height/Rotation/Width/Layer/LType/Color/Elevation/ALL] <ALL>: S
     Text style name / <PICK>: Romans
     2 entities found.

     

    There is no option for MTEXT objects, but you can select them by picking as example:

     

    Command: SSS
    Select objects for filtering (<Enter> - select all objects):
    Select objects:
     Search for - Text/Attdef/PLine/LIne/Circle/Point/Block/<ALL> - or PICK [Text/Attdef/PLine/LIne/Circle/Point/Block/ALL] <ALL>:
     Selected: MTEXT
     Search under what criteria - [Layer/LType/Color/Elevation/ALL] <ALL>: ALL
     16 entities found.

     

    OK, for MTEXT objects try attached LSP (after loading it type SSS_MT, select Mtext object to determine Text Style and all Mtext with the same style will be selected)

     

    Then you can use Properties inspector to change style of selected objects (Text or Mtext)

    It just selects one object and then it does nothing. Sory it doesn't work for me.
