How to automate deleting specific lines on multiple drawings?
We are currently working at Orascom Construction in a big project we literally have 1250+ Drawings for different buildings and support structures, I kind of made a bloody simple mistake when we were creating the first files, Now I need to delete a specific line in all of the drawings what do I do?

You might need a script, to delete the object using it’s x,y,z coordinates;

open dwg2 erase x,y,z close Y
You can use the ID command to identify the current object’s x,y,z before compiling your script
Hope this helps
