    <description>&lt;P&gt;Is there any way that I can purposely set a small number of blocks in my model and paper space so they cannot be purged by normal means? I have CAD environments set up for future use with all the layers and blocks needed, but I want to keep the unused layers and blocks intact in case one of our designers "purges all" as they tend to do. Any help is appreciated,thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#333399"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; Is there any way that I can purposely set a small number &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#333399"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; of blocks in my model and paper space so they cannot &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#333399"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; be purged&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If blockreferences of such blocks are inserted in modelspace or paperspace you can't purge them anyway &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@59C40FF4A66238AB63B8D5D30F650901/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":cara_guiñando_un_ojo:" title=":cara_guiñando_un_ojo:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Without development you might create one new block, that has lines on the layers you want to protect, that contains other block-insertions you want to protect, and text with text-styles, dimensions with dimension-styles, lines with linetypes, ... and whatever you want to keep even if purge would be called.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Insert that block on a standard layout you use in your template, at 0,0,0 with a scale factor of 0.00001 or some small value so you can't see it on a plot. As long as that layout is not erased or that one block-insertions is not erased you are save doing purge.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#333399"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; I have CAD environments set up for future use with &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#333399"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; all the layers and blocks needed&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;From the above new block run command &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#333399"&gt;_WBLOCK&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;and create a new drawing with all the lines, text objects, dimensions, and so all your layers and create a new dwg-file from that.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Whenever you have lost any of these layers because of a purge or whatever cleanup was executed you can simply insert that external dwg-file to get all those layers and settings back, that did not exist any more.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Using development might bring you more options but would need to have this tool to be installed on each of the workstations and would not work on AutoCAD LT.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;HTH, - alfred -&lt;/P&gt;</description>
