Back in 2008 Shaan Hurley released a tool to clean up unused annotation scales. Does anyone know if that utility or something similar is available for acad 2015?
I have an CAD file with a lot blocks which I don't use. I would like to delete them. So I do 'Purge' which took care of some but not all. There are still a lot of 'cannot purge' blocks. So I do 'Insert', I see about 30 blocks. Choosing one of those, I can edit the block. (Doing the 'Insert' was just my beginner's test step to see how many unwant blocks I still have.) I believe they cannot be purged because they are nested.
How can I delete the 'cannot be purged' unused blocks?
I know a lot of the blocks have other blocks nested in them. Is deleting the 'parent' blocks enough for me to purge?

For a project we are currently working on all files are stored on projectwise, all xrefs run through projectwise, so essentially whatever changes are made are immediately avaliable to everyone working on the job. This is great and all, but, one of the companies dwgs have an average of 11,000 + annotation scales. And those dwgs are referenced into ours. Usually in a situation like this we would just get rid of the annotation scales in the original, but since its run through projectwise every time they open and close one of these dwgs it over rides any changes we made (like getting rid of the annotation scales) We dont use annotation scales and i never have, is 11,000+ alot of annotation scales or is that normal? half the time i open the dwgs with these xrefed in it crashes autocad or takes forever.
