Drawing Purge for AutoCAD is a free add-in for advanced purging to remove the unused DGN linetypes, textstyles, regapps and annotation scales, and many other items. You can purge either the current drawing or multiple drawings in batch processing.
Unused DGN data can increase your drawing file size extremely big. Copying/Pasting the objects between drawings will take longer time due to the unused DGN data. By purging these unnecessary data your file size will reduce and the drawing performance will be increased.
Since AutoCAD 2019, AutoCAD Architecture and other vertical products are included with AutoCAD subscription as Specialized Toolsets. Previously, subscribers had to choose which AutoCAD‐based vertical products was right for them.
