Does anyone know of a way to erase selected proxy graphics?  I don't want to erase all of them only a select few.  Thank you.  I'm using v2021 vanilla ACAD.

To delete individual proxy entities in AutoCAD, you can use the QSelect and Delete commands:

  1. Type QSelect in the command line and press Enter
  2. Select the Proxy Object option from the Object Type menu in the Quick Select dialog box
  3. Click OK to select all proxy objects in the drawing
  4. Type E (for Erase) in the command line and press Enter to remove the proxy objects 

 

Proxy entities, also known as proxies, are invisible data points on an object in CAD that affect how the object behaves with certain commands. 

 

You can also explode proxy objects to see their contours or other features without them remaining proxy objects. To do this:

  1. Select a proxy object, such as a contour line or label
  2. Type Explode in the command line and press Enter 

 

Not sure if this will work, but worth a shot.

If it deletes them all, type in OOPS. Then type E, enter, P, enter, R, enter

This will select all of your Previously Deleted Proxies, now by using R for remove, start selecting the ones Individually once done hit enter and the ones you did not want will be gone.

 

Good luck!

JRR!

Also.. Install this freebie app if you just wish to disable that 'proxy' tag from coming up, nothing gets erased automatically but you can do so
