AutoCAD/Delete nested block

Advertisement

Expert: - 6/12/2006


Question
If it exists in the drawing database, it cannot be purged. Nested blocks are difficult to find, so purge won't always display the block as ready for purging.
I created block gallery,but the bad thing happened to me,some block i couldn't delete,even i couldn't find.
Thanks for your helping,Bill

The ONLY utility that I know of that will do this is SUPERPURGE.  It can be downloaded here:

I have absolutely NO idea what adverse affects this utility could cause, but I do try to keep my blocks updated and I try to make sure never to nest blocks.
Good luck to you.

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
