BenE Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 A while back, I created a .dwg file that has all of my text styles, leader styles, ctb's, plot styles, page setup info, ect. Now I'd like to create a .dwt with all of that stuff without spending the time to recreate all that stuff. I tried deleting all objects and purging everything unnecessary and saving as .dwt, however, there are a couple blocks and one layer that won't purge. Any tips? Does anyone know what the file names are of the styles, and where I could find them? Thanks, -Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, -Ben You can use the LAYDEL command, then type N for name, select the layer and it will be deleted even if there are objects on that layer in your drawing. Try the SELECT command, type ALL, then ERASE...that might get rid of some objects you cant see... hope that helps a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenE Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 That took care of the stubborn layer. Any idea how to get rid of the two blocks that I can't purge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodz0321 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 try QSELECT, then type ERASE......that might get rid of them. PURGE after you do that and see if you can get any of the blocks out that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I usually draw a line and redefine the block selecting only my new line. Accept the "redefine". You can then delete all the lines that have just appeared and purge them. Be careful though, you can delete some "special" AutoCAD blocks. Not that I have ever had trouble doing it this way.
