Regapp ID Cleanup Utility Major Bug

[Papaweave]

When running the regapp id cleanup utility in 2020, the utility not only removed regapps, but also removes ALL styles and parts lists, and expressions leaving the drawing almost useless. Only styles left in the drawing are "Standard"

This was happening on mulitple projects but I just now connected the dots. Please be advised and use this utility wisely!

Hello @Papaweave,

This is helpful. Thanks so much for the heads up!

No I have not, would be happy to move forward and provide before and after files to help show this major defect with the Regapp Utility

I second Papaweave's post that this is a very dangerous utility to be run on any Civil 3D files.

I'd suggest only purging Regapps using the PURGE command inside Civil 3D.

Attached is an example on a file that desperately needed to be purged, but this utility purged 3 more regapps than it should've.  These 3 regapps after being removed and running an audit deleted all Civil 3D labels in the file.

See image for difference of this utility and running purge inside Civil 3D.
