Does anyone know how to use the purge function on subordinate UDF files (.gph)? The UI is the old menu manager, and I am not able to find instructions on how to actually operate it. I am able to purge the reference model that is driving the gph file, but the UDF purge seen below I am not able activate.

The command was not functioning at all, and PTC has deployed fixes in the following builds.

The issue is corrected in Creo Parametric 7.0.11.0.

Fix submitted in Creo Parametric 8.0.8.0 and Creo Parametric 9.0.4.0.

@MartinHanak using the command line to run will purge all files in the directory where purge is run, will it not? I was attempting to purge a specific UDF file, not all files in a directory. The UI command in the menu should only purge the selected object (a single .gph file)

Hi,

to get desired result, you can use following notation .... purge udfname.gph
