To bypass the step of purging multiple times to get nested items,
00:07
check the purge nested items box in the options section.
00:11
Make sure all items are selected at the top level and click on purge checked items.
00:16
This time,
00:17
you'll see that the three categories that
00:19
had nested items are now completely purged.
00:22
Let's close the purge dialogue and we'll run
00:24
the revert the drawing trick with undo back
00:27
and yes, to get our items back,
00:29
run purge again and make sure nothing is selected in the items tree.
00:33
And that purge nested items is checked
00:35
to save yet another step.
00:37
If you intend to purge all, there's no need to select the top level,
00:41
just click on the purge all button. And
00:43
as long as purge nested is on it will get everything for you.
00:48
We've seen the top two options in action already, but there are three others.
00:52
You can have the command purge zero length geometry,
00:55
text or MT text that contains only spaces
00:58
or orphaned data, which is actually obsolete DG
01:02
in line styles. Personally, I leave them all checked.
01:05
If there are none of the first two,
01:07
they will be grayed out.
01:08
Click on purge checked items again
01:10
and the zero
01:11
LTH and empty text will gray out but stay checked.
