Purge Appids

[Marc'Antonio Alessi]

2 questions:

1) Is it a good habit to purge all unused Appids or there are some side effects?

2) I am still looking for a method to rename a text STYLE with null name (2 . "") and than purge it:

Command: (setq stdata (entget (tblobjname "style" "")))

(
(-1 . <Nome entità: 400a45f8>)
(0 . "STYLE") (330 . <Nome entità: 400a4108>)
(5 . "273961CE31FF") (100 . "AcDbSymbolTableRecord")
(100 . "AcDbTextStyleTableRecord")
(2 . "") ; >>> null name (70 . 1) (40 . 0.0) (41 . 1.0) (50 . 0.0) (71 . 0) (42 . 150.0) (3 . "ltypeshp.shx") (4 . "")
)

Command: (entmod (subst '(2 . "STILExxx") (assoc 2 stdata) stdata))
nil

Any workaround?

1) Is it a good habit to purge all unused Appids or there are some side effects?

I do it regularly, have not had any problems.

2) I am still looking for a method to rename a text STYLE with null name (2 . "") and than purge it:

That is not a text style, it's a reference to a loaded shape file.

 

[Marc'Antonio Alessi]

Thanks R.K.,

That is not a text style, it's a reference to a loaded shape file.

From my acaddocs:

2 = style name
3 = primary font name

?

 

[R.K. McSwain]

Look in the DXF reference | Tables | Style to find this:

A STYLE table item is also used to record shape file LOAD command requests. In this case the first bit (1) is set in the 70 group flags and only the 3 group (shape file name) is meaningful (all the other groups are output, however).

 

[Marc'Antonio Alessi]

Grazie mille,

I never look at that, may be this is reason that I can
not rename this text style.

Thanks again.
