In Illy CS4 and CS5 I was able to Purge undo's by pressing Cmd+Opt+Shift+F12 which brings up a hidden Memory panel and a button to Purge Undo's but it doesnt seem to work in Illy CS6. Any hidden feature to purge undo's in Cs6?
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if there is a method to purge the clipboard in Illustrator CC other than completely exiting and restarting the program. Apparently there was a "Purge" option under the edit menu in previous incarnations, but have no such option in CC.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI think it'd be so cool to be able to replay your entire undo history of a picture, so you can see and show others how you proceeded on a picture you made. That way, it's never necessary to capture screen video for like 10 hours and stuff..
So first you'd need to add an option to save the undo history (so that you always keep the history from when you started). Then you'd need an option to playback the undo history.
Is there a way to undo without zoom as part of the undo?

I have a problem understanding how undo marks are added to the undo stack.In the code below a fan of lines are draw in a random location.If you run MTest a few times, the AutoCAD Undo command will remove the fans one at a time.
If you run MMulti to draw 10 fans, the AutoCAD Undo command will remove all the fans in a single step.I want to be able to remove the fans one at a time.I thought that a StartTransaction / Commit pair would act as markers for the undo stack, but this isn't working.

After recently updating to CS6 I have noticed that if I delete an object, say registration marks, I can't undo that action. Undo will work in every other situtation, color change, move, etc. but not if the item was deleted. This is a major problem as I have had to completely close designs and start fresh because an important item was accidentally deleted and I couldn't get it back.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI used to export layers by deleteing the ones I didn't want, then exporting as an illustrator file, then undoing all the layer deletions.
Recently I had to switch up so that I call another plugin which inserts information into the file I'm working on. Then that plugin sends control back to the original to do all the ai file exporting I mentioned above.
Somehow after I get controll back I cannot undo the layer deletions. Does it have something to do with the "nested plugins" notes in the contexts sections of the undo documentation.
I have to confess I don't fully understand these "contexts". Also if there's another way to export a layer of a file other than deleting all the other ones.
I have been working on a project and illustrator and accidentally reverted the file. Is there any possible way to recover the previous file or undo the revert command?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow 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.
I 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.
In 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 RelatedSo 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.
what is this purge command, i practice cad 2010. i don't understand the use of purge command.
View 7 Replies View RelatedChoosing Edit: Purge: Histories or Edit: Purge: All isn't purging the history list (or affecting it in any way). This is true regardless of whether or not I have "Allow Non-Linear History" checked in the History Options. I can still clear the history with the "Clear History" option from the History panel's own drop-down list, but the Purge option (which seems enabled -- i.e. it isn't grayed out) seems to do nothing.

I 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.

I have a routine to purge a drawing. I'm able to purge layers, blocks, material, dimstyle, linetype, mleaderstyle, mlinestyle, textstyle and table style. But i'm not able to figure out how to purge shape (font). Here an extract of my routine:

When i go to purge i never see that it has any effect on my available free ram memory. I have a 3rd party program that shows me free ram availability and when I get low on RAM when using Photoshop...I think of Purge...but it does not free up anything noticable.
Am I expecting too much from Purge...maybe I dont understand that it only does part of a job.
What to you do when your large photoshop project takes up 80% of your system ram...I usually close everything...shut down Photoshop...then relaunch Photoshop...then I now have about 60% of my 2 gigs to use again. I crash in photoshop when I get to 14% of usable Ram left.

How do I purge or delete the printers/plotters from the list in the plot set up dialog. I have several that go to the same machine but are not config'd correctly or just simply not used. Can I get rid of them so I don't have to sort through when plotting?
Also, what about the list of sheet set ups in the plot dialog?
I 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 RelatedJust 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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",
