SLW210 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Can you post the files to CADTutor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The file is 5.6 meg. It is not going to attach here, and that 4shared website is so full of adds and membership sales attempts, I can't even find the correct download link. I am not going to use it. The flickr picture is, by the way not usable. The resolution is not even close to clear. A picture of the list of blocks isn't very helpful anyway. Try uploading the file to dropbox. At least that hosting page is usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 There are several live threads about this. The OP should check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepy86 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Can you post the files to CADTutor? Yes I do it. I cannot upload in CADTUTOR because there is an error when finishing. I don't why. But I uploaded in 4shared already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Dana was asking you to use Drop Box because 4shared is unusable. When we can access the file you will get a better answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Could the file have DGN LineTypes? If so look into a plug-in to remove them on Autodesk site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheSyn Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I tried already. But I think it does not take effect. You think, or you know? WBlock will work unless you have instances of the objects in your drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Dear all,I have problem with autocad 2D. My drawings have many unused blocks Which have no object inside. But it stay in my cad drawing and make my drawings size very big. So anyone who can give me solution about this problem. Many thanks. I was able to read the image and for what it is worth the listed blocks, in my opinion, do not correspond to any recognizable AutoCAD format as regards the naming of blocks including anonymous blocks. Therefore I suspect the blocks in question may have originated in a program other than AutoCAD. Was the drawing every edited using another program or was content from a non-AutoDesk product used in the drawing (ex. - Microstation)? What is the source of the drawing? The only thing I can think of that might work is a program called SuperPurge by a company named Manusoft. I no longer have the program loaded on my cad computer and even if I did without access to a copy of the drawing I can not run a test on it. Sorry.

Manila Wolf Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I would have thought that WBLOCK applied to the whole drawing should have worked. If not, It looks to me like SLW210 and ReMark are on the right lines regarding the possibility of Microstation linetypes being within the drawing. If I were you I would make a copy of your drawing before you try these: - Try the AutoCAD command -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD You will be creating a new drawing with this command so will need to have a new file name. If this doesn't work, try exporting your drawing as a .DGN file then import the .DGN file back into a new blank drawing. DGNEXPORT is the command to export and DGNIMPORT is the command to bring it into the new drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manila Wolf Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 To fully evaluate your drawing, you will need to also upload the following shape files: - Belgroma.shx geopus.shx infraaqua.shx aquafin.shx wwk.shx infraaqua1.shx Probably not a good indication, but I did try your drawing by cancelling the above shape files. All three methods worked. That is Wblock, -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD and DGNExport/Import. But as I say, for a full evaluation you need to upload the shape files. I am curious, did you try these suggested fixes yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can substitute by the others. you see my question is how to remove unused block. Because I known that make the file size big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You're problem would appear to be with linetypes, there is a problem that is known, and apparently there is a hotfix for it on the Autodesk site, but it involves a download and I don't have rights to install updates, on this machine so I can't test it. Someone else may know how well that works. But your drawing contains loads of linetypes that can't be removed, and I think theses are tied into your problem with blocks that won't delete or purge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
