winterdd Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Happy New Year guys and gals. I am going to be upgrading to X14 soon and want to clean up my library before I migrate it over. Is there any easy way to find all the duplicate items at once and delete? I somehow have every sherwinn williams paint color duplicated as well as other items I obviously downloaded twice from the CA 3d library and forgot I already had them.

Bob-Roraback Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 If you go down the list a in your user library and hold the control key you can select the ones you want to delete and delete them all at once Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping the program could scan the library to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just, close Chief first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLayDesign Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I just found myself in that same boat as I too wanted to clean up my catalogs Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to do it and 200 imported files later she's all clean As for duplicates. I tend to delete as I find them in my normal everyday use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
