I need to globally remove excess layer styles or layer filters.

Hello all. After inserting a drawing from another consultant, I'm afflicted with a hundred or more layer styles (filters in Autocad). I used to use a global routine to purge them but since switching to Intellicad I need to find a similar routine. The excess layer styles bog down the operation of listing layers.
Thanks for your help.

Intellicad does have a 'purge' command, just like Autocad, have you tried that?
The routine you previously used, was/is that a lisp routine?
If so maybe if you post that someone can look at it to see if it can be modified to work with Intellicad.

Thanks, Steve, I tried purging but had no success. It was a VB routine as I used VBRUN to execute it.
I did find an Autodesk command called "FILTERS" and it has a counterpart in IntelliCAD!
So just type in "FILTERS" at the command line and a dialogue pops up. The names on the right are deleted and the names on the left are keepers with arrow keys to move them back and forth. Works like a champ.
