Stuck Blocks

[Anonymous]

I've deleted everything in this file and purged it into dust. It is completely empty except for 4 stuck blocks. Why won't they purge?! Help me solve the mystery!

At a guess, they are used by a vertical, and embedded in a style.  Try running ExportToAutoCAD, and see if that get's you what you want.

Hi reid.gould,

as JGerth told, it should be some kind of track left behind by an Autocad vertical.

As a workaround, try to save your file in dxf format, no matter which release.

Then open it and try to do purge now.

Should delete everything.

By the way, there are thousands of "Registered Apps" in your dwg: try "-purge" command from the command line, with the "r" option.

Should get rid of all those registered apps.

Hope this helps,

Giancarlo
