Couldn't find objects with text style(that in use and couldn't be deleted)

I'm trying to delete some text styles and using PURGE for it. But usually it shows where the text in this style located, but for now it shows that in my project is 0 elements with this style, but I couldn't delete it, because it says that they are in use.

Did you check the block definitions?

How important is removing this text style?

Text styles can also specified in dimensions and linetypes and may be tricky to find.

You could try modifying that text style to use a font like wingdings then regenall to examine the linework then examine the dimension styles in the editor.

@dorogann ,

Do a Quick Select for all possible Object Types, then check the Text Style in the Properties is not being used.

@dorogann CHECKSTANDARDS command has been around for quite sometime and it can merge anything you don't want with something you prefer in a DWG file: you just have to make an effort ahead of time to create a master DWS "standards" file from your DWT "template" file first to use over and over and over again.

You do have a master DWT template file you start new files with, yes? If not, it's not hard to create one, you just need a good existing DWF file that has been edited to be perfect first.

The Isocpeur style is used by ACAD for some symbols like the centerline CL symbol. You may not be able to delete it, but you could use CheckStandards to merge it like @pendean said.

You may not be able to delete it,

Why not? The CL symbol is displaying by ISOCPEUR Font, right

but it has nothing to do with Textstyles, or?

If you think i am wrong, please explain it (with a sample DWG please)

@dorogann

We still waiting for your DWG file sample
