SmartPurger is a super handy app designed to help you clean up multiple AutoCAD drawings quickly and with ease. If you're looking for a batch processing tool, this is it! It lets you purge many drawings all at once.
One cool thing about SmartPurger is that it can restore the file's timestamp. Plus, if something goes wrong while you're running a script, SmartPurger keeps going until it's done and skips the problematic drawings. This feature comes in really handy when you're preparing for backups or sharing your drawings with others.
If you want to shrink down your file sizes before backing them up, sending them via email, or even burning them onto a CD, SmartPurger has got your back! You can also save the cleaned-up files into a new folder or even a different version of the drawing.
This software allows you to run custom script files (.SCR) or AutoLISP files (.LSP, .FAS, .VLX). You can set up SmartPurger to handle different AutoCAD applications based on various drawing file versions. Plus, you have the option to specify which profile to use when starting AutoCAD!
Here's an example from an actual project: 1773 drawings that originally took up 526MB in 2000 DWG format were reduced to just 218MB in 2004 DWG format—all without any manual intervention!
This tool is very powerful! Make sure you know what you're doing before diving in. It's wise to read the manual first and test it out on some sample files or folders. And don’t forget—backups are your friend!
You can run audits, zoom extents, create preview icons, convert between versions, and purge various elements like blocks, dimension styles, layers, and more. The options are vast—from cleaning up line objects without length to getting rid of temporary files like .BAK.
