Cleaning up dwg files nested blocks etc.

Anonymous — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 17:35:24 GMT

Hi I have a few drawings that I have to clean up. Is there a way I can remove the nested blocks. I've tried Purge'g but there still remain quite a few blocks that are listed in "View items you Cannot Purge"

I have checked the box to: Automatically purge orphaned Data.

Upload the DWG and we can help

There is no onboard command to delete nested Blockreferences.

I went thru the dwg files and sorted which blocks had to go. I rana utility I hsd downloaded with Autodesk called RPU.

I seem to have resolved the 'excessive' blocks (blocks I didn't want to share with a rival company)

Thanks for your offer to review the dwgs tho.
