Topic: Purging Shapes in Acad 2011

[Peter2]

Hi

I tried

Code: [Select]

(command "_purge" "_SH" "*" "_n")in my AutoCAD German (both from commandline and from LISP) and get the message that

Code: [Select]

No visual styles are found.
When I type the same code in the commandline

Code: [Select]

Command: _purge
_SH
*
_Nthen I get the message that

Code: [Select]

No Shapes are found.
Can you confirm it? Maybe it is a problem of my German version?

Thanks

Peter

In AutoCAD 2011 US English I get in both cases the same message:

No unreferenced visual styles found.

2013 Italian version (same message):

Comando: (command "_purge" "_SH" "*" "_n")
Nessuna presenza di file di forma senza riferimento.
nil

Comando: _-PURGE

So if I understand correctly this is a basic problem in 2011, not matter which language is used. In 2013 it seem to be OK.

BTW: If I use "_sh" I get an error; only "_SH" is accepted. That's also new for me that the options are case-sensitive.

Seems using "" in place of "*" for shape names gives correct result.

Sorry I do not have 2011 now to try but in 2010 I have same behaviour.
...on command line I use -purge to use the command line version...

Ciao.

Yes, confirmed. Weird ...

BTW: Try to type

Code: [Select]

(command "_purge")=and watch the last entry ...

Thanks to all, I think the problem is defined and solved.

Have a nice day.
