To Purge Unused Styles From a Drawing

You can remove unused styles from the current drawing.

You may need to run the Purge command more than once to remove all unused styles from the drawing.

  2. Click Manage tab Styles panel Purge Find.
  3. Use the Style Purge Confirmation dialog box to control which styles are purged.
