In fact, it’s not uncommon to hear tales of users finding tens or even hundreds of thousands of Regapps in a drawing. But if you’re in an environment where these are common, you can easily collect thousands of these things.
You won’t notice any issues if you have just a few hanging around. When the file or program, along with its XData, is removed, the Regapp remains. Your next question is, “What’s a Regapp?” Without getting too deep into it (it’s never wise to put your readers to sleep), files or programs that contain “Extended Entity Data” (or XData) write a tiny bit of code called a Registered Application in your drawing file to easily retrieve the data it needs. If your drawing file is experiencing performance issues, purging Regapps is on a CAD manager’s go-to list of things to do. The additional purgeable item is called Regapps. How’s this for a start… Did you know you have an extra option in the command line version? No doubt any CAD manager knows about it, but it’s relatively obscure otherwise. But why use the command line version of PURGE, you might ask? I will give you some compelling reasons. Many dialog-based AutoCAD commands have a corresponding command line version.
