Dynamic Components quick delete.

Hi,

Just a quick question relating to being able to quick delete the dynamic component formula's of certain items.

After a few months learning dynamic components to ease the drawing and manipulation of cabinets for a furniture manufacture, I recently found a problem with the system. After creating components within components with dynamic capabilities like drawer boxes, table tops etc, I needed to explode and break each item down into indidual parts to create a visual cutting list and purchasing Rec.

Is there a way of quick deleting all component attributes (mainly the position formula) of an item in one move, rather than having to indivudally delete each line of formula on each part, something than can be extremely frustrating and time consuming with large assembly's.

I feel that there may be an obvious solution to this question, in which case I apologise. However, in the few months I have been exploring dynamic components I haven't come across a solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nick

Personally, I just explode and regroup anything that I need to un-dynamicise, but I believe there's a script hanging around somewhere, possibly by TIG?

edit: here it is http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15%26amp;t=40538 , but the iterative version (that kills more than one nested component) is broken, so you might have to beg TIG for a fix
