To Purge the Version Information From a Project Standards Drawing

You can remove the version information from all standard styles and display settings in a project standards drawing. When you remove the version information, the version history and the current version information is deleted.

When you run a synchronization, the standard style or display setting still participates in the synchronization and is considered the latest version when comparing with versions of the object in project drawings. No attempt is made during synchronization to automatically create a version GUID or history list. If you want to add version information to the standard style or display setting, you need to manually version the object.

  1. Verify that the project with which the project standards drawing is associated is set current.
  2. Open the project standards drawing from which you want to remove the version information.
    Note: Project standards drawings do not appear on the Project Navigator. You need to open them by clicking Open Drawing.
  3. On the command line, enter aecpurgeversion.

The version information is removed from all standard styles and display settings in the drawing.

Note: To re-add a version to all styles or display settings in the drawing, open Style Manager or Display Manager, select the drawing in the tree, right-click, and click Version Drawing.
