    Default Project Based Purge

    I wish I could right click on drawings in PN and run a "purge" without opening them.

    The closest thing you can do is to run a script via script pro.

    Would that include being able to purge AEC stuff, too, or just AutoCAD stuff?

    It'd be even more valuable if it could.

    AEC style manager purge would be AWESOME from the project navigator. I wish I could use it like you use plotting to an alternate page setup, picking whole project, subset or individual sheet. It would be nice to pick on the constructs folder, sub folder, or individual drawing and be able to purge acad and aec without being in the drawing. I spend so much time cleaning up drawings this would save a ton of time.

    Is there a command line command to purge the style manager?

    If so it would be very easy to script...

    This would be great. I to spend way too much time cleaning up excess towards the end of a project.
    Currently the styles can be purged manually via the Style Manager, and the Automated Lisp version out there does not purge everything.
    An autmated way to purge everything including Unused Styles would be great, so I can then purge out unused layers, block, etc., to meet Client Standards.
