Examples of using TotalPurge

Description: This video shows an example of optimizing a drawing with over 16 000 objects. Smart conversion of objects into polylines is enabled in the application settings. At the same time, the conversion of splines is disabled. These settings ensure the maximum drawing cleanup. When TotalPurge is done, we can see that the size of the optimized drawing has decreased by approximately 30% of the source.

Description: This video shows an example of parametrizing a drawing using the built in the TotalPurge software tool "block creator". In the beginning, we create a closed contour, which consists of a few lines and an arc. Next, we copy that contour as a circular array. And on the next step we launch TotalPurge and activate the "block creator" in its settings. The result of TotalPurge operation in this case is a new block named "DBL-BLOCK-0001" and six block insertions with various rotation angles in place of the earlier created closed contours.

Description: This video shows an example of using TotalPurge for converting simple entities (lines and arcs) forming a closed contour into a polyline. In the beginning, we create a closed contour, which consists of a few lines and arcs. Next, we launch TotalPurge and activate smart conversion of entities into polylines in the settings. When TotalPurge has done its work, you can see that in place of the eight objects of the drawing we now have a single closed polyline, which you can further edit using, for example, the PEDIT command.

Description: This video shows an example of using TotalPurge to convert a spline into a polyline with its further integration with another polyline into a single closed mono LWPOLYLINE object. For clarity, the spline and the nearest polyline are color-coded. Through the process of conversion and merging of the two objects, we obtain a polyline with a different color, which we have specified before starting the conversion process on the "Properties" tab. In this example, the conversion of a spline into a polyline is done by approximation with two arc segments.
