Named Layer Filters
« on: June 04, 2004, 09:41:55 AM »
Probably a simple one for all... is there a simple way to delete all of the Named Layer Filters (exept for the three standard default)??
I have a thousand of them in some of the drawings we recieve from others, and it is quite painful to find the ones you create.  The only way Ive been able to do this is one-by-one, not very fun or productive.

Thanks in advance.

BTW: acad 2002, LDD3

Try this:

Code: [Select]
(defun C:LFD  ()
 (vl-Load-Com)
 (vl-Catch-All-Apply
  '(lambda ()
    (vla-Remove (vla-GetExtensionDictionary
                 (vla-Get-Layers
                  (vla-Get-ActiveDocument
                   (vlax-Get-Acad-Object))))
                "ACAD_LAYERFILTERS")))
 (princ "\nAll layer filters have been deleted.")
 (princ))

You can also try a product named CDG PURGE which includes a named layer filter deleter, plus lots of other purge stuff. Very nice program and free.

CDG Purge is very good. Just use caution, if you are also using LDD. You might delete some of the hidden "Registered Applications" that LDD uses, and your drawings, could be corrupted.

And if you use that CDG Purge you'll notice a lot of other ridiculous amounts of unused things. Like on one of my drawings has 1000 unused Registered Applications and 2000 Empty Grounds, not including the 350+ named layers filters and 100+ LMAN layer states. Some people do some pretty unbelievable things to these drawings.

CGD purge: very good program! It would be great to use it in batch mode to purge all the drawings I have on my hard drive.
I will purge my drawings one by one. It will be a long work, but it worth.
Thanks for the link!

BatchLisp.lsp ReadMe.txt file.    [ For AutoCAD Release 2000 thru 2004 ]

 Version 1.0     3/25/04

 What this program does:
       1.  Allows you to select multiple drawings.
       2.  Allows you to select an autolisp program.
           [ See BatchTest.lsp below ]
       3.  Creates a script file.
       4.  Runs the script file on all drawings selected.
       5.  Each drawing loads the autolisp program and executes it.
       6.  Each drawing is saved before exiting.

What was I going to do without you?
I tried to create the script file before I posted my previous message but I didn’t use the command line version of the CDG Purge. Even at the load, a message tells you that a command line version exists… In the future I must pay more attentions at the AutoCAD messages!
I lot of space will free up on my computer!

Slim stated-
"CDG Purge is very good. Just use caution, if you are also using LDD. You might delete some of the hidden "Registered Applications" that LDD uses, and your drawings, could be corrupted."

I've found this to be true. Just CDG purged all and then when I tried to open the drawing, it says it is corrupted, and won't open.:shock:
But it is about half the size, so get to have a lesser sized file that doesn't work.

Thank goodness for .bak files!

I tried to use -cdgpurge in a script but for some reason it would just get into a continuos loop at the command prompt?

Did you get it to work. This is what was in my script
Code: [Select]
;cdg purge
-cdgpurge a
;end of script

CAB: where can one find batchlisp.lsp?

If you open the named Layer filters box, select the first layer then click delete, you can hold down the enter button right after and it will go through all those layers deleting them quicker than it would to click delete over and over........



Since I only have LT this works fine for me......

Thought I would just share that since I just figured it out.....  8)

Has anyone figured out how to get the cdg purge to work in a script? (currently if you run cdg purge in a script it gets stuck in a loop)
