BATPURGE

GstarCAD 2025 → Innovative Features

This new function allows to batch purge the excess objects such as blocks, layers, line type, dimension style or text style on several DWG files. The BATPURGE command doesn't need to open files. It executes the command of purge directly, which makes it run with very high efficiency. Four new types of purge have been added, including: Regapps, Zero geometry, Empty text objects and orphaned data.

After the command is started, a dialog box will be displayed as shown in the picture below.

In this dialog box you can add, select, unselect, clear and start purging objects within DWG files.
