Removing the Project Context
Use this procedure to remove all project-related information from the drawing
files of a project. This may be desirable if you want to hand over the files to
a contractor who does not work with the latest version of AutoCAD
Architecture, or if the project no longer exists but you do not want to delete
the drawing files.
Much of the project-related information associated with a drawing file does
not reside in the drawing file itself, but in the accompanying XML file. This
means that you can use all your project files at any time in a
non-project-related drawing context. However, if you want to work
permanently without the project context, it is recommended that you clean
your file set of the unused project files.
Project-related information resides in the following files:
â– The APJ file, which contains the general, high-level project data like name,
number, project details, and project standards.
â– The XML files, each of which stores the project information for an
individual drawing file.
If you delete the APJ file and the XML files, the remaining drawing files no
longer have connections to a project. They are regular AutoCAD Architecture
drawing files and can be copied, edited, and deleted like any other drawing
file.
The drawing files can contain standard styles and display settings, if standards
have been set up for the project. When the XML and APJ files are deleted, any
standard styles and display settings are no longer synchronized in the now
standalone drawings.
NOTE Once the project context has been removed, there is no simple way to
recreate it. if you have removed the project, and want to re-build a project around
the remaining drawing files, build the project from scratch, and import the drawing
files into it.
To remove project-related information
1 In Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder containing the
project.
2 In the project folder, delete the APJ file. For example, if you have
a project named Office Building, delete the file named Office
Building.apj.
