Inserted dwgs

[neillking752847]

We have a model with many inserted dwg files. No-one knows which views they have been inserted into and because they are not linked I cannot find them to delete them. Is there a way to suit the model and find these dwgs easily without opening every view?

create a new 3D view and turn off everything except the DWGs located under VG Settings / Imported Categories and then delete the DWGs.

That only works if the dwg was inserted into the model and not into a selected view.

There's several add-ins out there that can remove cad files from Revit.
Dynamo may be the other option
