The PURGE command should be run from the command line, twice. The right way to do it is to add a dash before the command like this: -purge.
ReplyDeleteWhen run the first time purge only the REGAPPS.
When run the second time purge ALL.
Follow this up by running an AUDIT on the drawing and say "yes" to having AutoCAD fix any errors. Now your drawing will be squeaky clean.
its use full command
