Clean empty parts from drawing ?
Hi,
With old version of ME10 when a part was empty with nothing inside (no element and no other part) , it was delete from editor tree. Since OnSpace, the part is keep on the tree, even it is empty. We work a lot of time putting part of another drawing, there is many empty part in our trees. With the time, i was thinking this will increase, like remaining waste. Is it possible to find a macro that remove all empty parts from current drawing please ? Thank you very much Rachel Belgium |

Re: Clean empty parts from drawing ?
You better check your part again, because I just tested this in both 17 and 18 releases and it still works like you want.
Create a part, then create geometry in that part, repeat. You now have two parts under the parent "Top". Delete global all confirm and when the geometry goes away, so do the empty parts. No change in that functionality. |

If you have the NULL T turned on for missing files, you might actually be doing more harm than good thinking that the empty files need to be removed rather than restoring the geometry in them.
If you are very certain that the file is empty, then yes delete it, but if it was suppose to have geometry and no longer does, you will need to repair the file(s).

Re: Clean empty parts from drawing ?
Hi,
thank you for trying to help me. Yes the parts are really empty. I try to make the test describe in post before and yes ... when the part is empty, don't stay anymore. But, after asking at others staff members, one reply to me there is an old problem we don't know how appears. Then i need a macro to remove empty parts. Is there a lot of some helpfull goodies like that somewhere ? Thank you. Rachel Belgium |

Re: Clean empty parts from drawing ?
I just tested this in version 14.5. It behaves exactly like current versions.
If your drawing contains an empty part, it will automatically be removed from the part structure browser if you activate any other part in the parts tree. This is true for both the Windows and the Classic UI. Are you positive you have empty parts? Edit the empty parts parent. If the part does not disapear from the structure browser, it is probably not empty, or it owns another part that is not empty. In that case, you should be able to gather the elements of the part(s) you think are empty into their parent. You mentioned that you are adding data from another drawing to an existing drawing. How are you loading that other data? As a part or as a sub part? |
