marbruce Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Sorry Silly question but does it matter what way you do these in a drawing? should I purge first then audit or vice versa or does it matter at all???? bit of a debate going so any and all responses appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 My preference is to purge first then audit. I'm not sure if it makes much difference. I'd be curious to know if it does too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharwat Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 My way is to audit first , because audit would also clean up the drawing and being ready for any later action . And purging first may mix things up since that drawing is not running well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbruce Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 excellent that seems to be the common response. It doesn't matter either way but a common comment is audit first to fix then purge to clear???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I don't see how purging would "mix things up". Could you be more specific? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I don't see how purging would "mix things up". Could you be more specific? I want hear the answer to this one. Seems to me that by purging first, there will be less to audit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonehead411 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'm a purge first, audit later kinda guy. Get rid of all the junk beforehand, no point auditing what you dont need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkos Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Here is a little macro for a button that fixes all with purge/audit, and purge first audit last (less to audit) ^C^C-purge;all;;no;audit;yes; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 AutoDesk University 2007. Helen Gorina gave a class called How to Clean Anything in AutoCAD where she used a script file to batch clean up a folder of drawings. She used the Purge command three times in a row at the beginning of the script followed by Audit twice before doing a QSave. By the way, Jkos, "-purge; all" does not include reaggs as I understand it. The course number for the above mentioned class was GD401-1 for anyone interested in reading the class handout. Find it at AutoDesk University Online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankman Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I do Purge, Audit, Purge Purge 'n Audit numerous times. Always audit 'n purge before saving and tucking the work away. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen1980 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I audit then purge. On a couple of occasions audit has created layers along the line of #AUDIT_BAD_LAYER_1 etc. Nothing on them but purging got rid of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
