ATUTILS_CLEAR_ALL_XRECORDS |
Clear all extended records from drawing entities |
Prerequisites
- A drawing must be open
Overview
Clears all XRecord (extended record) data from entities in the drawing. XRecords store FireCAD metadata such as segment information, entity tracking data, and report fingerprints.
Steps
- Type
ATUTILS_CLEAR_ALL_XRECORDSin the AutoCAD command line - All XRecord data is removed from drawing entities
Important Notes
- Use with caution — this removes all FireCAD metadata from drawing entities
- Validate does not rebuild what this command removes. Clearing XRecords unlinks the drawing's wire paths and wire path labels from the project, and the next Validate removes them instead of rebuilding them. Save a copy of the project and the drawing before you run it, and contact support if you are not sure you need it
- This is a maintenance/troubleshooting command, not for regular use
When to Use
- When XRecord data has become corrupted
- As a last resort troubleshooting step
- When preparing a drawing to be stripped of all FireCAD data
