Create a script file and use ScriptPro to process multiple drawings.

I haven't tried it yet (it's on the to-look-at list), is to see if (vla-Delete...) would be effective called through ObjectDBX on the Blocks, Layers, Linetypes, and other collections, just as a fast "surface purge". Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?The disadvantage to vla-Delete is that each deletion forces a collection refresh which actually slows things down (in my experience). For example, -Purge is noticeably faster purging large amounts of RegApps compared to vla-Delete.
