Layer Filters

[R.K. McSwain]

R. Robert Bell's "LFD" function works great for deleting named layer
filters, but it also deletes "Layer Standards Filters" (as opposed to
Property Filters), even if you enter a wildcard match.

In the little time that I had to look at it, a drawing with zero (0)
'Properties Filters', zero (0) 'Group Filters', and one (1) 'Standards
Filters' includes a single item in "ACLYDICTIONARY", named "*A1" -
regardless of the actual name of the standards filter. Of course this is
why the wildcard match doesn't work

Is there some way to access Standards Filters by their actual name?

The goal here is to delete *all* layer filters (properties, group,
standards) except a certain one with a known name. I can modify "LFD" to
exclude "*A1", but there is no guarantee that "*A1" will be our named
Standards Filter.

TIA

Thanks, I have not had time to look at the code, but I trust I can
figure out where these actual filter names are stored.

Yes.
