Dimension Style that Cannot be Purged

[ericY8BTB]

I've recently tried to purge some unused dimensions and text styles from a drawing template that I often use. However, there are two dimension in particular that are "in use" that I simply cannot find

In the screen shot, I have no idea what "stair plan" or "stair plan overlapping" is at all. It's not the name of any file or block that I've ever used.

I use AutoCAD LT 2022, which I was not under the impression even supports AEC objects and Superpurge does not support LT. 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure in this case, but try this:

Create a new File by using -ExplodeToAutoCAD 

Command (while in your drawing).

This file came from Autodesk Architecture, AEC_DISP* is stuff for a feature you don't have in LT.

I assure you this file has only been created and used with AutoCAD LT 2022.  This is why I am confused about this issue.

If so, you copied/imported content from others files.

(I don't like to test by which workflows you can import these kind if DisplayStyles from another file)

However: This data don't come from LT.

Sorry, i had a typo:

-ExportToAutoCAD 

Command, incl the "-" (while in your drawing).

You file has content from an AEC DWG file: how it got there is deliberate or accidental from you copy/pasting from another file or INSERTing or starting with a template that had these in it. It happens. No LT user is immune, that's not how AutoCAD/LT works.

If PURGE command cannot get rid of the content for you, or even -PURGE command's REGAPPS suboption, and you tried AECTOACAD command, then try WBLOCK command to create a new file from your modelspace content and see if that helps.

After that you'll need access to a seat of full AutoCAD, create a master DWS standards file from a clean template file, the CHECKSTANDARDS command.

Or just RENAME the offending items and ignore them until you copy/paste or INSERT that content that just brings it all back again. Since you did it once, you'll likely repeat it.
