Title: Purging Shapes in Acad 2011
Post by: Peter2 on July 29, 2013, 05:05:07 PM
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:
Quote
No unreferenced visual styles found.

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.
