    Default Detaching unreferenced references

    I'm looking for a routine that will detach all unreferenced references. Ideally, it would do them all but at a minimum I need it to detach DWGs, Images & PDFs. After an hour of searching the web with no luck, I'm here looking for some help.

    Does anyone have anything that will do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Interesting... Inspired by a thread elsewhere, I just started working on something like this yesterday. Haha


    Here's a short video clip (18 seconds);only supports XREF (DWG) currently, but I am planning to include all reference types (just need some more free time):

    Asked to modify a drawing yesterday from a consultant that had one of those xrefs that hadn't been included. Finally found it in one of the many blocks. Code to either remove or locate the reference of xrefs, layers, plot styles, etc. would be really nice!
