How to simplify this process?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Normally when dealing with large DWG\/DXF files such as this, curves are organized on layers. If this is the case I would suggest hiding some of the layers to start or selecting and deleting curves on certain layers that aren&#8217;t needed.  If there are that many curves I&#8217;d suggest the reverse.  Box select a certain area, then hide others and after you&#8217;ve box selected then use the selection filter to select by color.   Either way this will be a two step process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-170968","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-4422","topic-tag-ansys-spaceclaim-directmodeler","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics","topic-tag-general"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2\/6\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_author_ip":["209.182.204.162"],"_btv_view_count":["211"],"siebel_km_number":["2048958"],"product_version":["18"],"km_published_date":["2017-03-29T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Fluid Dynamics"],"application_name":["ANSYS SpaceClaim DirectModeler"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/170968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/170968\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
