Try selecting options from your format menu. Many of the dimensional formats reside in the tabed sections and can be removed, copied, modified and/or made current from within the dialog box there.]]> Sat, 29 Nov 2008 07:15:50 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1385&PID=3779&title=removing-unwanted-dimstyles#3779 <![CDATA[removing unwanted DimStyles : I've taken over the position...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1385&PID=3777&title=removing-unwanted-dimstyles#3777 Author: kpeters

I've taken over the position and computer from someone no longer with my company. They felt it necessary to create a number of Dimension Styles that are all useless and have silly names (ie. "Copy of djksjdksjdks"). I am having trouble deleting these old styles.

I've tried using the Purge command but it doesnt remove all of them as if they are being used.

I then used to QSELECT command to select everything on these styles and was able to delete three of them. But am left with 4 more. The remaining four styles show up as "zero items selected".

If feels like they are fixed into the drawing somehow, maybe in a template or something.

Im sure the easiest way to get rid of them would be to just start a new drawing from scratch but I am always reusing details and blocks from previous jobs so it would take alot of time to redo everything. This is by no means a critical issue, just annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
