Select objects with same OD table

[franc_as]

My Autocad Map 3D don't allow me to delete specific OD table. Obviously, there is an object containing that OD table.
How can I find and select all objects with this OD table? Maybe a lisp?

Hello @franc_as 

Please the DWG (or an extract with WBLOCK) 

If Extract with WBLOCK, check that the DWG you send, has the same problem !

Which name for the OD Table ?

Bye, Pat

I don't understand what do you mean.....what Wblock,  what dwg?
This is common question...I just want to find all objects in any current drawing, which contains (if) OD table (for instance) named TEST.
And I want to stay them selected after command finished.
Lisp routine would be fine.

Hello @franc_as 

1) OOPS SORRY : OK you have not a specific problem with a specific OD Table !

2) When I want to find ALL Object (on ACAD MAP or ACAD CIVIL) with a specific OD Table,

I am using the famous Lisp/VLisp routine "Sel_By_OD" (from @CADaSchtroumpf) BUT with a curious / abnormal method !

3) Load the routine with  APPLOAD  Command then  "Sel_By_OD"  <Enter >

and Select ONE Object with the famous OD Table

and then select and do an "impossible" Test on an OD Field !

THEN you get ALL Objects of your DWG with the famous OD Table ! 

For example 1 : you have an OD Integer/Float Field with a positive value, test with Value /= (Different) -1

For example 2 : you have an OD String Field with many values, test with Value /= (Different) ZZZZZZ

Do you see, that I Mean ? ... Is it OK for you ?

Bye, Pat

Thank you, but I already have this Sel_By_OD lisp.
But in this case not working... you must pick (only) one object with this OD table first.
But I dont know which object contains this OD.
So imagine, if you have to pick among thousants of objects to find it...

[franc_as]

The only solution is, to make new object and append my OD table to it.
Then run Sel_By_OD and select new object......
But I wish a simple, quicker way.

Hello @franc_as 

YES it is a "correct" Solution (2-3 seconds to create a Circle/Line, then 2-3 seconds for ADEATTACHDATA, then Sel_By_OD, ... wait for the result ...) !

Happy WE, Bye, Pat

Hello @franc_as 

An other beautiful Lisp/VLisp routine from @CADaSchtroumpf !

The routine "ODYesNo" could interest you !?

It will find automatically Entities WITH or WITHOUT OD Tables !!

Happy WE, Bye, Pat

[franc_as]

Yes, I have already know and use this Lisp, and some more from @CADaSchtroumpf..

He is great...
