    Default Purging a Rogue Dimension

    I and trying to purge a dimension out of a drawing but it says it is in use. I have no idea where it is being used. Is there a way to figure out where it is being uised in this blank drawing?

    Presuming you mean a DIMSTYLE that won't purge, you can run the Filter command with the dimstyle name, and see if there are in fact any dimensions using that style.

    Otherwise it's probably nested in a block definition.

    First, make sure it isn't set as the current style (simple, I know, but it happens. )

    Post the template drawing, and someone will be able to look at it and find where the dimstyle is referenced. Of course if Jaberwok is right, just let us know that and we won't look for the drawing. (tried to purge a current style a time or two myself... )
