Purge Unused Objects

Remove unused views, families, and other objects from the project to improve performance and reduce file size.

Before purging unused objects, it is recommended that you create a backup project file.

Attention: If the project is workset-enabled, all worksets must be open to use this tool.

1. Click Manage tabSettings panel (Purge Unused).

   The Purge Unused dialog lists views, families, and other objects that can be deleted from the current project. By default, all unused objects are selected for purging.

2. Select or clear check boxes to indicate the objects to purge from the project.

   The tool does not allow you to purge used objects, or objects that have dependencies.

3. To purge all selected objects from the current project, click OK.
