SmartPurger 3. 8 is a batch and script utility for processing multiple AutoCAD
drawings with full control. The application handles crashes so the AutoCAD
batch processing continues to the end and leaves bad drawings to be corrected
manually. The latest release enables users to delete only certain “garbage”
files without having to also run AutoCAD to purge and process custom scripts.
It also provides quick access to the deleted files log file through new button on

product and manufacturing information from
image-based PDF and TIFF files. Another fea-
ture allows users to extract PMI from multiple
annotations in a single step, automatically iden-
tifying and creating individual characteristics in
seconds. That feature, SmartExtract, is support-
ed for a variety searchable text PDFs and native
CAD file formats, including CATIA, AutoCAD,
Pro|ENGINEER/Creo, and UG-NX to provide
significant improvements in both speed and ac-
curacy over manual methods.
