Purge

Lets you delete unused blocks, text styles, line types, and other elements in the definition table of the document. Purging DWG files reduces or optimizes file size.

The dialog box displays Purgeable and Non-purgeable elements.

An element can be purged if it is not used in the DWG file.

In the dialog box, select the elements to purge. You can use the multi-selection keys (Ctrl, Shift).

When purging a DWG file, available options appear in the Purge dialog box:

Confirm the deletion of each element: When selected, a message box opens on each deletion. You must validate each deletion.

Purge nested elements: When selected, any nested elements (elements that depend on other elements) are also deleted.

Purge selection: Purges the selected elements.

Purge all: Purges all elements regardless of the selection.
