Any way to delete multiple layers quickly?
I have some large floor plan files with 20-30 layers that I don't need and they're slowing down the program. Is there any way to get rid of the unwanted layers quickly? Deleting one by one will take forever. It would be great if I could just select multiple layers in the list and hit delete.

I guess that's a no then. This would be a great feature, along with being able to change the attributes of multiple layers at once.
Re: Any way to delete multiple layers quickly?
Correct. But there is a workaround ....
Turn all Layer invisible,
turn the unwanted layer back to visible,
launch "Select All" below Menu/Select,
delete,
launch "Purge Unused Layer" below Menu/Layer ...
... ALL empty layers are gone.

This method works, thanks. Only issue is that you have to Purge Unused Blocks before purging unused layers in order for everything to get deleted. Fortunately I don't have any unused blocks that I need to retain.
