Null Object and DGNPURGE

Hi,

My office was having the huge-files-from-Microstation problem. We downloaded the DGNPURGE fix and it's working OK. Takes longer for drawings 10,000KB and larger.

Problem is basic users don't process all the drawings, so some huge ones squeak by.. Then they copy from those drawings onto dgnpurged ones, and then those become huge..

Hopefully in future versions they'll have a quicker fix. Consultants sending drawings have not been cooperative purging in advance. Some drawings reach 35,000KB, 50,000KB and more and become unusable.

Once in a while the DGNPURGE doesn't work and then a "Null object" box pops up - what is a null object- is there some way to delete it so the DGNPURGE can continue?

Another solution to reduce drawing size is to WBLOCK the entire drawing - but I don't like to recommend that because all references have to be fully detached and all laywers thawed and turned on. Could be easy to leave stuff out.

Thanks...:smileyhappy:
