To use this feature open the affected drawing then type WBLOCK and press enter. This command transfers all drawing elements to another clean and blank template leaving all clutter behind. This method should only be used when you have no other option of cleaning your drawing as this method causes loss of data from your drawing including layer assignments. This may not look like a straightforward drawing cleanup tool but it is very efficient in cleaning all useless clutter from your drawing. Press enter again and click on OK in the delete duplicate objects window. Type ALL and press enter, this will select complete drawing in our selection set for applying overkill.
To use overkill type OVERKILL on the command line and press enter, the command line will now prompt you to select objects from drawing area. Overkill is another such cleanup tool, by using overkill all the overlapping or duplicate drawing entities can be removed and merged together. When the drawing becomes completely clean the purge all button grays out, click on close button to exit purge window. Click on Purge All button from this window, you may need to click on Purge all button several times to remove all redundant objects from the drawing.
To use purge command type PURGE on the command line and hit enter, a new purge window will pop up. Purging a drawing cleans all redundant or unused entities like layers, blocks, line types etc. These are probably the first few commands which are used by almost every draftsman to clean their drawing.
Let’s start with the most common Purge and Overkill commands. In this article, I have compiled a list of six efficient ways of cleaning and optimizing your drawing. If you are thinking that your drawing does not need optimization then think again, maybe you are missing great benefits of having a clean drawing.Īn optimized drawing with a minimum amount of unnecessary data tends to perform faster, the drawing load time is significantly better and chances of drawing corruption also reduce to a great extent.
