Purging text styles
« on: February 24, 2015, 08:26:38 AM »
I have 2 text styles in a dwg that i want to purge but it will not let me, it says "style still in use" and can not purge it. I have looked throughout the dwg but can not find the styles in use anywhere! Not even blocks. Anyone know how to find and get rid of these things?

thanks

Can you post a file that you cannot purge them from?

Did you check dimension styles?

mleaderstyle, tablestyle, dimstyle are the usual culprits.

they might be in attribute definitions within a block


OR 

IF

this is a C3D file they are set within a feature setting, or a command setting

With the tool MgdDbg you can snoop the Database to see which objects are linked to the Text style.

The conclusion is justified that the initialization of the development of critical subsystem optimizes the probability of success to the development of the technical behavior over a given period.

Glad you found it.
Another good place for them to hide is in empty text strings.
