Layer Purge

Anonymous

Is there a way to purge all unused layers?

Or, do I have to do each one manually?

Thanks buddy, I knew it was right under my nose some where.

Just so I don't pul a bone head move, are the layers without a check the one I can safely delete and not worry about deleting actual drawing information (in other words I would only be deleting unused layers by deleting the layers WITHOUT a check mark)?

Thanks again

Theoretically, yes.

There was a bug in the past that allowed layers with content to not have a check next to them.... delete with care!

Also, any layer assigned to a tool's default settings will have a check mark. For example, if the wall tool is set to "Exterior Walls" layer, a check mark will appear next to this layer, even if there are no elements on this layer.
