Automated report shows a dimension style that does not appear in purge list or dimstyle menu

[nickLQFNV]

I have to submit some drawings for a Government of Canada project for the manager's archives, which must conform to the very strict PSPC standard. They sent back the drawings the first time we submitted with a long txt file of issues with the standard that was generated from a QA plugin. The folks at the other office were kind enough to give me the link to the plugin (PWGSCAtlantic) so I've been able to check my process as I fix the names and colours of dimstyles, textstyles, layers, etc. I've gotten closer to compliance by either deleting problematic styles and layers or renaming them, but I've run into a problem that I can't work out.

The automated report shows two non-compliant text styles that don't appear anywhere in AutoCAD. The purge and dimstyles menus only show two styles that aren't a problem. If they were just un-purgeable I could at least find them and rename, but I don't know how to find dimstyles that aren't displayed anywhere. Any advice?

looks like you're working on a Mac. There's a separate forum for AutoCAD on a Mac

but if you can share the dwg for others to review as well would be best way of troubleshooting

@nickLQFNV In the Windows versions of AutoCAD, we have CHECKSTANDARDS command that is capable of merging/removing non-standard content like that from DWG files based on a Standards DWS file.

Does your MAC version have that (cant find it online, my guess is not)? If not, your subscription allows to to freely install and use the Windows version as long as you can get WindowsOS on that MAC of course.

Yeah it's LT for Mac, unfortunately. My apologies for posting in the wrong place. I have linked the dwg in the original post.
