I deleted symbols from the drawing and when I place new ones, they do not show the correct symbol assignment.

Symbols are loaded in a drawing as blocks. When you delete symbols from a drawing, the blocks are still a part of the drawing. You need to purge the old blocks from the drawing before the new symbol assignment can be displayed.

1. Type Purge in the Command Line and press Enter.
2. A the Purge: baTch/All/Blocks/Dimstyles/LAyers/LTypes/STyles:prompt, type B for blocks and press Enter.
3. At the Enter name(s) to purge <*>: prompt, type an asterisk * and press Enter.
4. At the Purge block TextStyles? (Yes/No/yes to All)? : press Enter.
5. The next prompt will show the name of a block. It will be something similar to this Purge block TMPSPRREF-180-8-0? (Yes/No/yes to All)? :. Press A for All and press Enter.

You should now be able to place the symbol with the new assignment.
