I'm working on testing AutoCAD MEP 2016 for company-wide deployment. From what I've found, AutoCAD MEP 2016 does not handle the regapp purge like any recent version, specifically that it does not actually find nor remove all instances of unused registered applications.
To test this I used a file known to have several thousand purgable regapps (91,585) across AutoCAD MEP 2014, 2015, and 2016.
Results:
AutoCAD MEP 2014 found and removed all 91,585 regapps and reduced file size from 10.5 to 3.0 MB.
AutoCAD MEP 2015 found and removed all 91,585 regapps and reduced file size from 10.5 to 2.88 MB.
AutoCAD MEP 2016 found and removed 21,412 regapps and reduced file size from 10.5 to 4.38 MB.
The biggest problem will these results is that after purging the regapps using 2016, I can open that same file in either 2014 or 2015 and they both still found an additional 91,584 regapps to purge.
Has anyone had similar results?
