Remove Material from Drawing

[Jeff Waymack]

Is there a way to remove a material from a drawing? I tried Purge, but that didn't work.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Purge.  It won't work if the material has been assigned.  They're just AutoCAD materials now with some extra data.

[Jeff Waymack]

If the material is assigned to a layer, but then the layer is removed would purge work? Same question with an object.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

It should.  It's managed by AutoCAD at that point. AutoCAD only allows purging of objects that are unreferenced.  The unassigned ones will show up in the AutoCAD Purge tree under materials with a prefix of "AccuRender-"

yes..!!! theres a way to remove material to a drawing

1- get material from file / open

2- pick the material / and asign to a drawing

a- option: edit material

b- option: attach material to objects

c- option (the one you need) remove material from objects

this work both ways if you use a material from autocad this work too... try.. open rmat in autocad and choose a material and then try to remove with nxt tools... it work for me... autocad 2013
