I would like to know how to use Dynamo to locate and DELETE imported AutoCAD dwg’s. I know how to purge and manage links, but as most well know, it is nearly impossible to find imported DWG’s and delete them.

Here’s another way using bimorphNodes and Archi-lab: [image]

Thanks for the prompt feedback! Thomas, i got my screen to show what you posted, now how to do go about deleting the imported dwg’s. Sorry to be so picky, i just started using Dynamo today! Thanks a million

Also, I would be fine with it deleting ALL imported CAD dwg’s. But if its possible to sort through them and delete selectively, this would also be great to know! Thanks

The script above will in fact delete them all. To be selective go through and review the elements by clicking on the Element Id (green number) in a watch node wired to the lower output of the Bimorph.ReportCadLinks node.

Try switching the boolean node so the ReportCADLinks node refreshes and output an empty list if the imports have been successfully deleted.

Is there any way you can show me what you mean? Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks

I already have in my first post. When you connect the CADImports output from the ReportCADLinks node into the Element.Delete node, it deletes the Imports. Simple as that. The only other thing I can think of that might be tripping you up is your Dynamo execution mode - check bottom left of the interf…

Thomas, i got it sir, thank you for your patience, i misunderstood your previous comment “Try switching the boolean node” i thought you meant disconnect it and reconnect it. I actually think you meant to toggle between true and false (on the boolean node) and once i toggled it to true and pressed r…
