I want to automatically purge SOME stuff (I sorta know about vla-purgeall), not everything. Anyway, I hobbled together a routine using (command "-purge" and works fine EXCEPT it echos whats being purged to the screen (even when CMDECHO is off). <see below> Is there some way to so this silently? Or some other way entirely, that will "auto" purge specific stuff without kicking up a fuss?

Purge all and save. Currently set to purge four times. You can set it to whatever you desire.

(defun c:purgesave (/ $acad $doc)
(setq $doc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
(repeat 4
(vla-purgeall $doc)
)
(vla-save $doc)
(vlax-release-object $doc)
(princ
"\nDrawing has been completely purged and successfully saved. "
)
(princ)
)You can also remove the vla-save if you don't wish to autosave.

I don't think so Randy. I don't think qaflags will stifle it either. You'd probably have to hand roll some arx.
-
Will mine do it? I've never had a problem. Did I not understand the question?

I played with qaflags a little but didn't see a way around it there. Looks like I'll live with the echo for a while.
Daron, I just want to purge SOME stuff, not all. I have a function (surprisingly similar to yours) that does a purge ALL, but I don't want to purge Blocks and Layers, just everything else.
-
A cludgy work around would be to make a reference to anything you do wish to keep (that is currently not referenced), say a block def, a layer or a text style, do a vla-purgeall, then delete the temporary references. Would require a fair bit of coding, albeit mostly trivial.

Saw that. Didn't read well to me. Heh. I don't even use mine anymore because if I purge any blocks or layers it kills the whole program I have to use. Poor scripting. example: "layer" "s"...:?: Grrr.

ummm... I can live with the echos, just hoping for an "Easy Button".

BTW, Daron, I have one from D.M. Stien's Visual Lisp Bibile.

Randy, will this work for ya? I wasn't able to determine where the Shape file info is stored......

(setq doc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))

)
)
(list (vla-get-dimstyles doc) (vla-get-linetypes doc)
(vla-get-textstyles doc) (vla-get-plotconfigurations doc)

Schweeeeet!!
Although you left out Layers and Blocks!
Very Cool Jeff!!!
I likes alot! :D :D :D

Thanks!
As for leaving things out........... but I don't want to purge Blocks and Layers, just everything else.

:?
sorry

That's pretty cool, thanks, but it's not getting rid of PLOTSTYLES that can be PURGEd.
Any ideas?
-
Here ya go. I don't use plotstyles so I tried this on a small test dwg and it appearred to work. If it doesn't work like you think it should, let me know and I'll investigate further.

Of course, excellent outside the box solution Jeff. I use the technique for blowing away appids, why not other tables.

Wayyy cool Jeff, thanks a heap. I knew somebody 'round here had the answer.

I may be a little late with this, but maybe it will come in handy in the future. There is a system variable called NOMUTT. If you set it to one, nothing (and I mean nothing) will appear on the command line unless you specifically put it there.
-
I dunno, I couldn't get NOMUTT to work with PURGE.
-
The first thing I tried was NOMUTT. Somehow, Purge overrides the NOMUTT setting and lists everything purged, or not, no matter what.

On another topic.......how would you change the drawing viewres silently?

On another topic.......how would you change the drawing viewres silently?
Well, contrary to what the help file says, VIEWRES is NOT a System Variable, so a simple (setvar "viewres" 10000) is out ......
However, this setting is stored for each individual Viewport. Since you can't use ENTMOD on a Viewport object, the only way (other than the command version) to modify it is with the ActiveX property "ArcSmoothness" of a PSViewport or Viewport object.

Sorry for the bum steer. I thought for sure it would work.
-
No problem, Chuck. I thought it would work, too, when I tested it. FYI, that's 2 things NOMUTT doesn't work with (at least in 2002): Purge and Dimstyle->Save

Not to throw in a huge monkey wrench, but VBA doesn't mutter. Is it possible to use a vb app called from your lisp?
-
... but VBA doesn't mutter.
Either does the lisp solution I posted for Randy..... :D

sorry, i quickly scanned and didn't read the whole thread
