AutoCAD 2D
Module 32
Drawing Utilities
Learning Outcomes:
When you have completed this module, you will be able to:
1. Describe the PURGE, RENAME and TIME commands.
Drawing Utilities
It is very important to maintain your drawings and your drawing files on a daily bases. It is very
easy, while working day-to-day producing drawings, to let things slide and not correct small
items in the drawings or the drawing files. If left unchecked, that habit can lead to big problems
in the future sometimes almost impossible to fix.
Take a few minutes while working on each drawing to maintain objects, layers, blocks, xref,
names, and all the different styles. With drawing files, create an organized logical folder
structure, making more folders rather then less and dividing drawing files into smaller
organized groups. Create a good naming system for your folders and drawings. Give them
descriptive names, ones that can be sorted alphabetically. Remove unwanted files, and keep
your .BAK files under control.
AutoCAD has several utilities that are helpful to organize and maintain your drawings. Use
Windows Explorer to maintain the drawing files. In this module, the PURGE, RENAME and
TIME commands are covered to help you in your day-to-day drawing maintenance.
Nested Objects
A nested object is a named object referencing another named object. One example would be
an object in a block located on layer Object but the block is on layer Block. The Object layer
would appear not to have any objects on it but in fact, an object in the block is on that layer and
that makes it a nested object.
Sometimes it is desirable to nest items to help you draw and design more efficiently. An
example of this could be as follows: You are drawing an object that has several components.
You draw each component separately and create a block of each. Next, you assemble all the
blocks and then make a block of the assembly. The blocks inserted in the assembly block are
nested blocks. Nested objects are not necessarily a bad thing, but they can cause problem if
they are not used correctly or the operator is careless with them.
AutoCAD does not allow you to make a block that references itself. An example of this would
be if you tried to create a block using an object that contained a block with the same name.

Authors Comments:
You can only purge items from a drawing if
they are not being used at the time. For
example, items that CAN be purged is a
block that is defined but is not inserted in
the drawing or a layer that was created but
there are no objects on that layer. The list
of items that can be purged will display in
the dialogue box with a + (plus sign) in
front of the item. Figure Step 5

Next automatic save in:
Enter option [Display/ON/OFF/Reset]: R
(Reset the timer to zero. This is an elapsed timer which allows you to time a special event while the
total time the drawing is active is also being timed.)
Enter option [Display/ON/OFF/Reset]: D
(The Display option simply forces the command line to display the time values.)
Next automatic save in:
Enter option [Display/ON/OFF/Reset]:
Command:
Step 12 On layer 0, draw the three objects
shown in Figure Step 12. Draw the circle
1 unit in diameter and the length of each
side of the square and the diamond 1 unit.
It is not important where you draw them.
Step 13 Create blocks from each shape
naming them Circle, Square and Diamond.
Delete the object when you create the Figure Step 12
block for each. Your drawing will now appear blank except for the border and the titleblock.
Step 14 Check to ensure the blocks were created by entering the INSERT command. In
the Insert dialogue box, you should see the three blocks as shown in the Figure Step 14.

Step 18 Using the INSERT command,
insert the block Square and Rotated

the PURGE
command.
Enable View
items you can
purge. Expand
the item Blocks
and the Circle
block should Figure Step 18
display as
shown in Figure Step 19.
Step 20 Using what you learned
earlier in this workalong, purge the block
Circle from the drawing.
Step 21 Enter the TIME command for
Figure Step 19 the third time in this workalong as
shown below.
Command: TIME
Total editing time : 0 days 01:09:13:485
Next automatic save in: 0 days 00:02:58:672
Command:
Step 22 Find the following answers in your drawing:
A) Total editing time in the drawing: ________________________
B) Time in Elapsed timer: _________________
Step 23 Save and close the drawing.
The PURGE command removes unwanted items from the drawing. In

some cases, it is the only way to remove them. If an item is being used, it
cannot be purged. For example, a layer with an object on it cannot be
purged, nor a block definition that has been inserted onto the drawing.

Drafting Lesson
Cross Sections - Part 2
Types of Section Views
There are many types of section views that
can be drawn. The full, half, aligned and
revolved sections are shown below. They are
used mainly to section symmetrical objects.
Full Section
A full section is the most commonly used
section. It cuts completely through the object
along the cutting plane.
Half Section
The half section only cuts through half of the
object. It is used when a symmetrical object
would be the same on both sides.
Aligned Section
An aligned section is when spokes are aligned
to line up with the cutting plane on symmetrical
objects. Take note how the spokes are not on
the cutting plane but they are aligned and
sectioned as if they were.
Revolved Section
A revolved section is a simple way to show
the shape of an
object like a
spoke. Revolve
the section right
on the object as
shown.

When entering names for drawings, blocks, layers and other items, it is
important to name them so they are descriptive and can be found easily.
Naming them so they group together or are easy to find in a search is
important. Also you want them to
be unique to your company and
listed in the best alphabetical order. Let's assume
you are a house designer and the name of your
company is House Designer Ltd. For a naming
scheme on layers in your drawings you might want
to name all your layers starting with HDL. Such as
HDL Floor Plan, HDL Furniture, etc. Notice how
they appear on the layer list on the right and how
they are grouped together, easy to find and unique
to your company.
To name the drawings you create for your company. Use a

naming scheme such as HDL House 0203, HDL House 3252, HDL
House 2143 etc. On the left is a partial list of how your drawing
files would appear in Windows Explorer.
When an item you wish to purge from

a drawing is listed in the items you
cannot purge, click the item and
Purge dialogue box will display tips
why the item cannot be purged as you can see below.
Using these tips, you can then figure out what changes
have to made to the drawing before the items can be
purged.
The Key Principles in Module 32

1. The PURGE command removes unwanted items from the drawing. In some cases, it is
the only way to remove them. If an item is being used, it cannot be purged.
