XS_​DELETE_​UNNECESSARY_​DG_​FILES

Category in Advanced options dialog: Drawing properties

Use the XS_​DELETE_​UNNECESSARY_​DG_​FILES advanced option to define whether unnecessary drawing files are automatically deleted. To automatically delete the drawing files that are no longer used, set the advanced option to TRUE (default). If you do not want to delete the unnecessary drawing files, set the advanced option to FALSE.

By default, the .dg files are deleted after 7 days. Use the XS_DELETE_UNNECESSARY_DG_FILES_SAFETY_PERIOD advanced option to define how long the drawing files are kept before they are deleted.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
