Deleting unwanted layers that are not used
Deleting unwanted layers that are not used
(OP)
There are no objects in the drawing with these layers, yet the layer manager shows them as used, and so won't let me delete them. How can I get rid of these unwanted/unused layers?? Auditing and purging do not work.
Also, I x-ref'd another company's drawing into mine and their original layers became embedded in my drawing even after detaching the drawing and purging. Any ideas??
Thank you very much for your time.

prototype drawing or the basic drawing
that you open for a new drawing.
If so, you will have to revise this for
those layers to be removed.

I have found a usefull programe called CDGPURGE. It can be found on the internet for free. simply download it and follow the install instructions that come with it.
Most of the drawings that I have used this on have seen a size reduction of around 3X if not more. It will not remove "hidden" objects from drawings, but it will remove any "hidden" information that you cannot see in the drawing.
As far as removing unused layers, make sure that the blocks you are using do not have objects on the layers that you are trying to remove. You can check this by inserting the blocks and exploding them to see what layers the objects are on.
Hope this helps.
