Is there a way to get the list of all attributes used in the project without purging the attributes.

Yes, there's a "Print to FIle..." button in that dialog, that allows you to save the list. If you switch to the All tab, then you'll get all the attributes.

Cheers, Akos

I'm sorry, but what I mean is through code. I want to get the list of all the materials being used on a project.

There's no simple way to do that. You have to go through all the different element and attribute types, placed objects/windows/doors material attribute parameters etc. Go through all element defaults as well.
You'll also have to switch to the different database types whereever a material might be used.

Best, Akos
