Purge

Function

Displays a tree view summary of all named objects that can and can't be purged in the current drawing. The View Items You Can Purge and View Items You Cannot Purge options toggle the dialog box display, showing different options and tree view summaries.


Items Not Used in Drawing: Displays a tree view of all named object categories (blocks, layers, and so on) in the current drawing. A plus sign appears next to the object category names that you can purge. Clicking the plus sign or double-clicking an object category expands the tree view, displaying all unused named objects that exist for the category. To purge all unused named objects, select All Items in the tree view, and choose Purge All. To purge a specific named object category, select the category in the tree view, and choose Purge.

Confirm Each Item to Be Purged: Displays the Verify Purge dialog box when you purge an item.

Purge Nested Items: Removes all unused named objects from the drawing even if they are contained within or referenced by other unused named objects. The Verify Purge dialog box is displayed, and you can cancel or confirm the items to be purged.
