Try this link to Lynn Allen's video tip site on CADalyst.com




The look for "Delete Stubborn Layers in AutoCAD"

or use "laydel" command.

DOH!

I followed the link, but found it unnecessary. During a work session, I keep files I am working on open until they are complete. Of course those purged xref layers go away when you close/reopen the file.

Thanks for all the replies.

I think some others layers hiding use command "layon". bec. u cannot deleted layers if it use. so try layon to unhide others object.

Have you tried closing then opening the "sheet file"?  According to the link that should do it, but a lisp solution is also posted that should purge without that step.

Thanks for the reply, CarlB

Yes, I purged both the xref and the sheet file.
 
I may be wrong, but it seems like ACAD used to update layer lists in Layer Properties Manager for xrefs.
 
I have detached/reattached xrefs, but that means everything you have done to the xref attachment must be redone. I was hoping to avoid the re-do.
 
I thought there might be some setting I'm not aware of.

Have you tried purging that file as well?

if that doesn't do it, you may have to detach, set visretain to 0, reattach.

After I have deleted layers from a base file (xref) and purged the file, they still display in the Layers Properites Manager listing in the file (sheet file) it is xrefed to.

How can I "purge" these non-existent layers?
