Autodesk autocad 2014 clean uninstall free
Really useful program! I’ve been using it for a few years now, and absolutely love having this tool to clean up our files. Great work! Maybe some lisp I can add to my acaddoc. Drawing purge is a great and seamless add-on. It’s quick, simple and easy to understand.
For the most part it does the job great. However, I am having issues with purging plot styles, configurations, some shape files and standards that aren’t going away when I open a batch of files in a Reference Manager. Not sure what the solution or problem is there.. Ahmad, Thanks for the review and happy to hear that the app helped you.
Can you please share a sample drawing[ajilalv at gmail dot com] to try? Once the blocks were removed, the file exploded at Mb and no longer allows me to copy and export objects to another file. The program starts copying the selected object works for many minutes and then stops so I have to force the closure in order to exit.
Is there an analogous LT compatible plug-in package that can solve my problem? Many thanks in advance for your help. Stefano, Thanks for the review!! But please note that if the drawing has exploded blocks or xrefs, AutoCAD purge or Drawing Purge plug-in will not able to purge the entities as it is in use with the drawing. Please advise. Just a note: in the Spanish translation, the XRefs results report translates “not found” by “extraviados”, that means “lost”, not found; i think i should say “no hallados”.
Congratulations again, Ajilal, great work. Dear Ajilal, this plugin has been discovered to me by one of my former colleagues and I use this plug-in since One big thanks to you for taking the effort and time to develop this plug-in. I really appreciate this tool.

Even when you change the preferences in the xml files, it returns to default settings. The program with each version is becoming more interesting. I ask the developer not to leave her.

Thanks for the review Slava. When attempting to restart the purge, the file originally being saved with be corrupted with a 0kb dummy file that would be marked Read Only. This is extremely dangerous – it seems to happen to random files, including original client CAD drawings that are sensitive and cannot be replaced. Drawing Purge does not create a failsafe or temporary backup in the event of a failed purge, and it is a pretty big oversight.
I would not use a program that has a chance to corrupt the original drawings without warning. It seems to be a. NET framework problem, and this error also leads to file corruption similar to 1.

Dear Ajilal, I am using Autocad Student Version, but the app seems not to be working properly with the “items you cannot purge”. Previous version cleaned perfectly, but now, blocks remain.

Trials are only for testing purposes only. IF you don;t mind me asking what is the app that is holding you back? Here’s an answer to this question Why would someone “NEED” to purchase the , , or version?
Because they need the services that those packages provide. Not everyone desires to pay out money for the newest edition unless it’s necessary to do so. Small businesses can’t afford to do this over and over at every turn. The software isn’t inexpensive, and manufacturing has taken a hard hit over the past years. We have to be conservative in our expenditures. I fully understand what you’re saying and certain companies can’t afford new software..
I get that. Just because someone requested it doesn’t mean we the users can provide it. I look for a detail explanation so we can provide the best solution.. Do you realize how many people coming here looking for serial s and activation codes for legacy versions that they never owned in the first place.
So in the end I’m not going to provide solutions to non-compliant situation or just because someone wants a legacy version.. I rather ask.. This is an older post but I would like to update everyone on the status of this issue.
