kapureef Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have a dwg that only has two used layers. So I urged to minimize the size, yet I still have layers with nothing on them. I cannot get rid of them. Any suggestions? Why are the layers remaining? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 The same thing happens in CIV3D and its tied to the Styles and the layers used by them, in CIV3d you can delete unused styles and purge layers. But it still leaves quite a few. The only way may be to wblock the dwg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombu Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 As deleting Civil 3D layers referenced by styles could create havoc I would recommend creating a layer filter instead of deleting a layer being used by something in the drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Be careful with the LAYDEL command because it can and will delete layers that are currently being used in the drawing, so watch closely and make sure you're not deleting layers that you actually need.

VERY good point. Didn't think of that. Nice Cad64. As usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMEGA-ThundeR Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Seeing that was the point it was the right command. But a little 'side effect' note can't harm . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I have used LAYMRG for groups of layers I was sure I didn't need anymore, but LAYDEL should only be used if you know you want to get rid of all the objects, styles, etc… associated with that layer.
