Running Carlson 2016 with IntelliCAD now. Previously had been running Carlson 2015.
Work flow to convert a LDT drawing to Carlson was to use the Drawing Cleanup command to convert LDT points and contours to Carlson points and polylines. The result would leave both a Carlson point and a proxy LDT point object together at each point. With 2015, I would then:
Erase > FILter > PRoxy to get the proxy points out of the drawing.
Now in Carlson 2016, the FILter option brings up a dialog box that has no choice for selecting proxy objects.
Any ideas on how to get rid of these proxy point objects after converting them to Carlson points?

To get the Command line FILter option back, look at Settings -- Carlson Configure -- General Settings and clear the toggle as illustrated below:
Otherwise, another approach would be to issue the File -- Save As command and save back to the original R12 DWG format which was the last DWG that did not offer support for custom ARX objects (but be aware this approach would also destroy newer items such as Annotative settings, MText, etc). I hope this information helps.
Thanks, Ladd. Toggling off the FILter dialog got me what I needed.
