I have a layer that contains no objects at all but which I cannot delete. I have tried LAYDEL, QSELETE and other commands which I found by reading other posts with similar problems. Unfortunately nothing appears to be working at all. I am using AutoCAD 2008.

The below gets the block names of empty block records. The blocks may or may not be actually inserted in the dwg. In my case though, apparently they are nested in other blocks in the drawing I am working with... but it looks as if they are part of deeply nested block definitions and therefore cannot be purged. I checked a couple blocks (the code returns over 1000 in my case) it returns and there are no objects in its definition.
How can I force them out of a drawing - and hopefully reduce it's file size?
(defun NullBlocks (/ block *thisdwg* block nullblocks)
(setq *thisdwg* (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
(vlax-for block (vla-get-blocks *thisdwg*) ;iterate block table
(vla-get-Name block)
(if (= 0 (vla-get-count block))
(setq nullblocks (cons (vla-get-name block) nullblocks))
)
)

I am trying to create a lisp to delete all the empty layouts from mydrawings. I do not see any code to control this.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe have our pipe networks set up in our template. But in actual use, we don't use them in every project. Even in a project where we're using them, they will be d-ref'd around, so I don't need the actual network set up in each drawing.
I was deleting my unused, empty pipe networks from a drawing (to reduce file size and to avoid getting the "8 Objects not selected" dialogue when using quick select.)
I deleted 3 or 4 networks, then on the next one I got this message:
C3D was apparantly not content with merely informing me once of this interesting fact. No, the message was obviously considered so important that it had to be repeated. Many many times, for emphasis. So many times, that after I'd keept my finger on the Escape key for a minute or two, the program still felt that I needed to see this important dialogue box.
I used Task Manager to get out of the program.
Somehow I ended up with three catalogs in LR 4 -- Catalog.lrcat, Catalog-2.lrcat and Catalog-3.lrcat. My original catalog in LR3 was Catalog.lrcat. When I upgraded to LR4, Catalog-2.lrcat was created, and this is the catalog that I use. I'm not sure how Catalog-3 was created, but all of the images are grayed out and have question marks on them.
I would like to free up some space on my hard drive by getting rid of -- deleting -- Catalog (104MB) and Catalog-3 (103MB). Is this not recommended? And exactly how do I go about deleting a catalog?
I want to check for the emptiness of a drawing file. whether the model space or layout is empty. is there any way to find it out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEveryone at the office where I work is having the same problem with AutoCAD 2014:
1. When creating a new layer state, and selecting all layers and clicking "remove from layer state" and then "okay", upon going back into the layer state, about 80% of the layers have returned and you have to select all and delete again and hit okay, and then go back in and do it again, about 7 or 8 times total before the layer state is cleared out and ready for you to add back just the desired layers. Even if you don't create a blank slate layer state to begin with, whatever layers you delete, once you hit okay and go back into the layer state, most of the ones you just deleted are back.
2. Even more of a problem is that sometimes all the already created layer states will suddenly reassimilate ALL layers in the drawing, and the above process has to be done to all existing layer states.
This takes an enormous amount of time to correct for multiple layer states, which we typically have in a drawing.
Why can you no longer delete layers with the delete key?
View 4 Replies View RelatedNot sure if this is a bug, or has been previously reported, but using large thumbnails in the layers panel with copied shape layers. You can see that Shape 2 shows content, but the thumbs on the copies appear empty. Not life and death, but those thumbs are useful - when they work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to delete a unused layer. But when I do that I get the following error (see attachment). I googled a bit and figured out that the LAYDEL command might solve my issue, but as I'm using Autocad 2013, that's not possible, as it doesn't have this command..
The block that causes the error can also be deleted, I tried with the purge command, but must be doing something wrong cause it didn't work. With regard to the purge command, I see it this way (attachment 2), how can you display it in a window kind of view to get a better overview?
I am using AutoCAD 2008 and I have a layer that contains no objects which I cannot delete. If I try I am told there are objects on the layer but I cannot find any at all. I have turned off all other layers to try to find the object I need to delete but there is none. How to manage to get rid of the layer.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFor printing or mailing purpose, i used to re-open big .psb layer files (2-6GB) in cs5 and cs6 with keybombo "alt" and "shift" while double clicking the document in the finder window (10.6 + 10.7.5), in order to save time.
This is not possible anymore, everytime i open a document this way its white and empty in photoshop.
In this particular drawing I have a layer I can see in my Layers Properties Manager but I cannot find in my drawing and it will not let me remove it.
this is a record of what I have just done:

View 9 Replies View RelatedThere's a layer in the drawing we received from the surveyor that doesn't match the client's standards. When I try to merge it with another layer or delete the layer, the command stops as soon as I pick a line on the layer. There are no objects visible on the layer so it may part of a style. I don't think it's part of a block as the surveyor used the client's blocks.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm a web developer currently slicing an illustrator file for web graphics. Some of the icons and images have shadows, lights, etc, and it's impossible to simply see by a naked eye which pixels contains some shade or nearly transparent color and which doesn't.
It would be extremely useful if I could somehow easily differentiate between empty and non-empty pixels, so I wouldn't miss any when slicing.

i have a small lisp and i would like for it to:
when i invoke the plot command, it will first check if there is a layer state called "Temp"if "Temp" exists, then delete "Temp", then re-create "Temp", then switch layer state temporariliy to "Plot" to plot the file, and then switch back to the "Temp" layer state againbasically, the "Plot" layer state will be set based on how the drawing(s) will plot. if a user makes changes here-n-there in the drawing, when the user wants to plot, the software will save current state as "Temp", plot using the "Plot" state, and switch back to "Temp" state at the end. all i am trying to achieve is to somehow over-write the "Temp" state. below is the LISP.
(command "undefine" "plot")
(defun clot ()
(if (layerstate-has "Temp")
(layerstate-delete “Temp”)
)

i have gotten a drawing from another user and have managed to purge all of thier layers except for one. I have deleted everything out of the drawing, done "select all" numerous times and deleted, but this layer still won't let itself be deleted. I have made sure it is not the current layer, w blocked the whole drawing etc. There was an ole image in this drawing at some stage, could that have left this horrible layer "25L"???
I hate when i have rogue layers in my files
I opened a drawing this morning that was sent to me by another office. I tried to open the layer property manager and it gave me a message that there were more layer filters than layers and that I should delete some of the filters. I said ok, but the property manager dialog box never opened. Now I can't open the layer property manager dialog box in any of my drawings.
View 7 Replies View Relatedlisp program to delete all objects in a drawing based on Layer excluding one layer objects.

Example : I may have 10 layers in a drawings like 1 to 10. I need to delete all objects on 2 to 10 layers.
I recently started using photoshop 7 again, and while messing around with pens, pencils, shapes, vectors, masks, and filters....I messed something up.
When only one layer is left, I can't delete it! There is a icon or symbol to the upper left of the project, which won't go away.
Is this a path? layer? I accidentally pressed "OK" on some screens that I didnt get to read ::slaps forehead::
This is having a profound affect on other things I'm trying to do! This messes up my invert, and some filters....I need to get rid of this mess.
heres a screenshot of it ....

In Inkscape I would just ungroup them so that I could manipulate/delete them as individual shapes and then (if needed) use the rubber band to recollect them and click a regroup button. I cannot seem to find anything similar to this in PS.
I have a photograph as my background layer, and then a shape layer on top of that. I want to put a font layer on top of the shape, select the font, and then delete the selection on the shape layer, so whenever I hide the font, the photograph shows through the shape, but every time I do it, no matter the tolerance, the font that is in the shape looks pixelated. I've reset all of my settings, but I'm not sure what to do.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a photo open and click on the "Create new fill or adjustments layer" button at the bottom of the Layers panel.
In CS3 I able to create a layer (say Levels) and apply it, then select the eraser tool and delete sections of that adjustment layer that I did not want revealing an unaltered section of the original photo behind it.
I can not seem to do this in CS4. I can add the layer and select the eraser tool but it will not delete anything.
