Unlinking font and shape files without the purge command?

[walrus102882]

I have searched all over and haven't seen something that will work. I have multiple drawings that were burned to a cd and sent to a client. The client used the reference mananger and found multiple fonts/shapes/plotstyles missing. (not found) I have found most and updated the path. There are some that i was not able to find, and because of the size of this project, unable to determine where the original fonts/shape files came from. There was originally 5 firms involved with numerous cad drawings. The missing fonts and shapes are not used in the drawings and i would like to detach them from there drawings so when the client runs the reference manager they will not be looked for, thus not come back as "not found." When i attempt to use the purge command to do this, the fonts/shapes do not appear and can't be purged. Can i manually open a drawing and detach the fonts and shapes? I need to present a cd that when the drawings are scanned by the reference manager, all fonts/xrefs/shapes ect. are found. For the shapes/fonts i could find, i created a seprate folder on the cd and edited the path to look there, solving the problem. But i have no solution thus far for the not found shapes/fonts/shx files and no original owners i can turn to to get them. Hopefully I was clear enough. Thanks All

Did you use the command line version of purge that is preceded by a dash and did you first purge all Regapps followed by a second purge > all?

 

Have you tried a lisp routine called SuperPurge? If not a shareware version can be found here...http://www.manusoft.com/software/superpurge.html

 

Can you attach a representative DWG file we can experiment on? It does not have to be a complete drawing.

Remark,

 

Thanks for the response. SuperPurge worked for everything with the exception of font files. I tired to attach a drawing but it wouldn't attach. Here is a screen shoot of what i'm trying to get rid off. Some of the fonts i have in our libary and will attach them. Others i do not and with to get rid of.

 

Thanks Again, Big help!

I could probably tell you where to find the missing ones (well 3 out of 4).

 

You can't attach a DWG file? Why, is the file size above the max limit?
