AutoCAD cleanup Model Space – delete CLEANUP elements
This tool removes all objects marked as “CLEANUP” from Model Space.
It opens the DWG, scans its content and deletes only these temporary elements.
As a result, your drawing becomes clean and ready to deliver, without internal work traces.

AutoCAD plugins collection.
