    Default Purge textstyles in blocks

    Hi All;

    I have some files that contains dynamic blocks which are used
    in the ToolPalette.
    I tried to clean these files as much as possible but some textstyles still remained.
    I noticed that these textstyles were within the blocks, although not used.

    I opened a new drawing and purged it as much as possible and
    the I copied a block to this purged file and all the textstyles were back.

    I tried to use purge command in the blockeditor for the same block but that diddnt work
    either.

    Are there anyway to delete these textstyles.

    TIA
    David

    If the test style exists within the block, in the block editor assign the text to the
    style you want, or delete the text. Save and close block editor, then purge the drawing file.

    If there are attributtes in the dyn block, good luck. those can be particularly difficult to clean up. make sure you go into the block editor and change any attributtes in all visibility states to the desired style and make sure outside the block editor you set the the text for the attributes on properties to use the desired style and use battman to set the desired text style for all attributes.

    I have come across the same problem. Attached is a drawing that I'm trying to get the ATTR text style out but have had no luck. Any clue on how to get it out?
