AutoCad :: Unlinking Font And Shape Files Without Purge Command?
Nov 26, 2013I have multiple drawings that were burned to a cd and sent to a client. The client used the reference mananger and found multiple fonts/shapes/plotstyles missing. (not found) I have found most and updated the path. There are some that i was not able to find, and because of the size of this project, unable to determine where the original fonts/shape files came from. There was originally 5 firms involved with numerous cad drawings. The missing fonts and shapes are not used in the drawings and i would like to detach them from there drawings so when the client runs the reference manager they will not be looked for, thus not come back as "not found."
When i attempt to use the purge command to do this, the fonts/shapes do not appear and can't be purged. Can i manually open a drawing and detach the fonts and shapes? I need to present a cd that when the drawings are scanned by the reference manager, all fonts/xrefs/shapes ect. are found. For the shapes/fonts i could find, i created a seprate folder on the cd and edited the path to look there, solving the problem. But i have no solution thus far for the not found shapes/fonts/shx files and no original owners i can turn to to get them.
AutoCAD .NET :: Purge Linetypes
Jan 31, 2011How can I purge linetypes? We get data from outside sources and my goal is to load our linetypes. I have a list of layers and store the previous layer linetypes. I reset them all to "Continuous". Now I have to purge the old linetype definitions but I can't make them go away. I need to purge DASHED and HIDDEN so far. If I open the file and click on the linetype in layer manager, I still see the old DASHED and HIDDEN definitions. I have tried db.purge(linetypeobjectid) but they don't go away.
Do I need to go through the symboltablerecord to find the correct linetypetablerecord and remove it? Will that remove the linetype from the list shown in layer manager? That is what I need to do - make sure DASHED and HIDDEN *have* to be re-loaded from our linetypes.
AutoCad 2D :: Cannot Purge Linetypes
Mar 15, 2013I can actually purge these hidden line types.
The line types in question are funky looking line types that do not exist within our office. They often contain "$$" and and/or file names and other odd characters as if they are remnants of binding a drawing. In any case, they are not visible anywhere in the drawing. We refer to these drawings as being "infected".
If any object, i.e. block, text or even a simple line, is copied from an infected drawing into an uninfected drawing, all of the mysterious line types follow. And when I say all, I mean 50+. Furthermore, copying from one infected to another infected will double the line types. So, as you can see, if undetected, you could easily have 100's of "line types" on a drawing which substantially increases the size of the .dwg file.
The process that I have created (from researching on the internet) is to save the .dwg into a .dxf. Close the .dxf and then PURGE. Purging the .dwg will not work. And, you MUST close and re-open the created .dxf in order to purge these files. The you can again save as a .dwg. To complicate things, occasionally a .dwg will not save as a .dxf unless I AUDIT it first.
Needless to say, this is a giant pain in that the files that are infected are at least 50 in number. I have created a macro or two to at least reduce some of the steps. Unfortunately, since the .dxf must be closed and re-opened (which cannot be done in a macro) an all encompassing macro cannot be written.
AutoCad :: Purge Layers That Have Nothing On Them?
Mar 28, 2012In our drawing files, we have several layers that our office is no longer using. The layers are empty but I can't purge them. We also have a block that seems to be related to the layers we cant purge. The block is made up of only 1 word. I've inserted the block, exploded it, and erased it but I still can't purge it. There seems to be some connection between these two things, but I haven't been able solve the problem.
View 8 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD LT :: Linetypes Will Not Purge
Nov 21, 2011So i have all these linetypes (see image) that i think originated in Microstation and have appeared on my computer when i binded a few DWGs derived from DGNs. (I can explain all that more if you think its warrented).
This is basicly what keeps happening.
- I open a brand new template, all line types are there (usual: dashed, phantom etc).
- I can work away happily, untill i copy something (a line, text, circle....) from a drawing that has these linetypes and BAM they all appear in the new drawing.
In this way, the linetypes have 'spread' into quite a few dwg's, and i cannot get rid of them once they are in the drawing and its saved.
A few other things....
- Other people in the office can open the drawings on their computers = NO weird Linetypes appear. Some open it and they do appear. (so if you open the dwg attached to this and find no linetypes, i dont know why!)
- The linetypes wont purge due to being in use etc
I would say the problem has originated from when I binded the xrefs, which is fine, but how to i fix it now?
The two main xrefs that appear to be referenced in the linetypes description are being used by other people in the workplace so i cant just delete them and start again.
AutoCAD VB :: Unable To Purge Blocks In VBA
Apr 26, 2011I am trying to purge all the unreferenced blocks in AutoCAD using VBA. Knowing that VBA only has thisdrawing.purgeall, I had to use sendcommand to try to achieve this.
Whenever I try to run the following in AutoCAD using VBA, the program tries to Quit and ask me to if I want to save changes. Is there a way to have it not prompt me for that? I've tried setting the FileDia set variable to 0 and it didn't work.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can Not Purge Blocks
Nov 14, 2012I have a file with 403 blocks in it that can not be deleted, purged, or seen. I've attempted to WBLOCK the linework out, copy and paste the linework out, exploding every object in the file, changing everything to bylayer and layer 0, purging and -purgeing, but the blocks are still there along with a number of linestyles associated with the hidden blocks. Is there any way to get rid of these blocks? I have a file attached with nothing else in it except the blocks I cannot purge. They are also not associated with any styles.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Can't Purge Certain Empty Layers?
Dec 4, 2013Just wanted to check if there were any reasons I hadn't considered as to why Purge doesn't want to purge certain empty layers. I'm changing the architect's background to our standards, and some layers simply do not want to go away.
All the remaining layers are turned on and unlocked.
I have exploded everything repeatedly until I cannot explode more.
I'm purging nested items and getting rid of points/zero-length geometry.
I have run a QSELECT on all the offending layers, revealing 0 items on every one.
I have erased and purged everything that was on paper space.
I have QSELECTed for every "weird" item on the drawing (block reference/point/attribute/whatever) and got rid of it.
I have locked/turned off all layers I want to keep, did a CTRL+A and hit delete.
I even turned all splines to polylines just in case.
After doing all of this, I still have 9 more "live" layers that do not want to go away.
Now, I'm aware that I have the LAYDEL option (which is what I'll be using here shortly), but I was just curious as to what drawing elements I could have possibly missed so that AutoCAD refuses to purge these layers.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Purge Layer On Drawing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: Linetypes That Are Not Being Used Nor Will They Purge From A Drawing
Jan 4, 2013I'm having a small problem with linetypes that are not being used nor will they purge from a drawing. I believe that all started with the binding of an xref but now the xref has been removed along with just about everything else other than simple geometry and some text. The linetypes will not purge. For instance, if I take a standard "new" dwt file that has no problems and copy anything from an "infected" drawing to the dwt, the infectious linetypes will now appear in the dwt. And when I say anything, I mean anything. i can draw a new circle/line/point on the "0" layer and copy that new item into the clean dwt and it will take along with it the unwanted linetypes.
I have seen a similar post about linetypes not purging. And have tried the wblock solution with now luck. I have tried recover along with anything else that I could think of. Again the drawing doesn't have any xrefs and even newly drawn items, when copied, will become infected by the unwanted line types.
Also, the linetypes that are being left behind do have the "$0$" within the name. But also to mention the only ones being left behind are "powerline" and "phantom",
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Cannot Purge Block
Aug 8, 2013I am having an issue purging a block from my drawing. Here are the steps I have taken:
-I first used the qselect command to select the block(s), there were 4 in the drawing.
-Then I erased all four of them
- I tried to purge the block but it was not showing up in the unreferenced block list.
- I went back into the qselect to find the block to see if there were any more, and the block did not even show up on the list
- I then tried to edit the block using bedit. After closing the block editor it told me that there were still 4 block references. This had me confused because I had already deleted the the four existing blockreferences from the drawing??
- I then tried to rename using the rename command and then attempt to delete it, and no luck.
I do not know what to do at this point.
AutoCAD Architecture :: Purge PDF Files From Drawing?
Jun 14, 2011how to purge PDF files from your Drawing? I tried using the Image command, but it doesn't list PDF underlay's anymore. I've tried just using the purge command but it doesn't show up there either. The way I know it's there after I delete it is, (1) The drawing file is STILL really slow and (2) it shows up as a required file when I do an etransmit. Which also makes the etransmit file huge as well.
how to purge them without wblocking the file to itself?

Oct 26, 2011When I open a new template all the correct linetypes are there and the drawing works fine, I can purge and they are deleted if not in use.
When I copy ANYTHING from one of my existing drawings which contains all these odd linetypes then they all appear in the new drawings and they will not purge.
ANYTHING = Text, blocks, lines... etc.
From reading about similar problems I think it has risesn from Binding/Inserting (I cant remember which one I used) of a Xref orignially from Microstation into a drawing I did about 3 months ago. The linetypes have just stuck around.

Apr 25, 2013See attached dwg with a basic layer, dim style and text style template. See that there are linetypes which I can't purge.
_TEMP.dwg
Linetypes are for example:
4382_F_08-10 GA Elevations$0$4382_F_1000-1 Lower Ground Floor Plan$0$ceiling details - Model$0$SW-CA-ZZZZ-ZZZ-2SC-AR-063001_Section4-4 - Default$0$AUSGEZOGEN
That's just one name and there is over a hundred similar ones! Maybe the name is too long for ACAD to handle?
Things I've tried.
wblock selected to new .dwg
audit, purge and audit, purge again.
Copy and pasting into blank template. Step 2.
10+ years in AutoCAD and haven't came accross this before.
Got a great LISP from Lee Mac to steal layers, dimensions and Text styles from the drawing. As long as I didn't take in the Linetypes I was fine. This LISP does a whole lot more than the things described above.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Crashes When Purge Or Recovering Drawing?
Sep 18, 2012I can not run purge or recover on the attached drawing file or it will crash autocad. When I run audit it says no errors are found. I don't have access to older versions of ACAD to test this on and the file is dated back in 2008 but not sure which version of ACAD it was created in.
This is the only copy of the file. I've opened it and added some linework and saved it as a newer drawing only to have the same results. The attached file is the unaltered version. I have one other file that I'm having the same issue with as well.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Texture Purge To A Style As Bump
Jan 14, 2011I was messing around with style editing, and added a texture map to a style as a bump. The bitmap I selected, however, was on my hard drive, not in the project search path. Now that I would like to check this part into the vault, I get the attached error message. I have since tried deleting, copying, moving the file from that hard drive to a legitimate search library.... removed it from every style it was used in, purged all styles, basically deleted it from every place I can find it, including going through the model tree and checking each individual feature (over 50!) to try to find it. It is still in the file somewhere, and I can't seem to figure out where. Is there no way to find and purge this offending bitmap?
