Change Manager and deletion of Changes originating from Hotl

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 21:27:02 GMT

We had saved off a previous teamwork file to use as the start for a new project as it contained all the Attributes etc. needed for the new project. We purged and deleted all objects out of the file to use as our template. The issue is that we forgot about these linked changes from other files. It appears we cannot delete these from the file. We most likely should have saved this off as a template file which may have purged these type of objects and data but we did not so now seem to be stuck with all these changes from the other file. Rebuilding the file in a new one is not an option.

Any insights any one can provide would be appreciated as the help system and ArchCAD support folks have not had an answer.

Did you delete those Hotlinked Module files? If they are removed from the project all Changes contained in them should also delete.

Or, alternately you can open the source file of the Hotlinked Module and delete the Change there. After updating the instance in the Host file, does the Change disappear?

We have deleted all the hotlinks and they keep coming through. We will check on all the hotlinks to make sure they are not tracking from them into this file.

OK, we have tracked through all the files and found the culprit. We have not eliminated them and all the other files have a correct reading.

So was it a Change still existing in one of the Hotlinked Module source files?
