how to delete solprof layers

[n1659]

Is there a way to delete unused solprof generated layers?

SOLPROF generates blocks, the entities inside these blocks are on these layers. So:

1. Explode the block / delete it, depending on what you want
2. If exploded, change the lines to other layers
3. Purge the block definition
4. Then delete the layer(s) in Layer Manager, or Purge it.

Sorry, but I've been there and done that and the multiple PH- and PV- layers which have no entities existant will not purge and cannot be deleted using layer manager.

As a last resort use the LAYMRG command:

1. Draw a line on each of the layers you want removed. Draw another line on the Layers you actually want.
2. Type LAYMRG at the command prompt - this is the same as the Layer Merge choice under Format --> Layer Tools --> Layer Merge (for 200 or Express --> Layers --> Layer Merge (pre 200
3. Select the lines on the layer(s) to be merged into the wanted layer.
4. Press Enter
5. Pick one of the lines on the layer you want this to appear on.
6. Answer Yes to the prompts for purging.
7. Repeat 2 to 6 for any other layers you want to "move" the SOLPROF layers onto.

It used to be an Express Tool, but it's now incorporated into Vanilla 2008. However, be careful, the non-Express version sometimes gives me errors in the DWG.

That's going to be difficult with no entities.
