Delete layer

objects on the layer. It flags me with a note about xreferences. How
do I proceed to delete a layer?

Zoom out of the drawing so that you see possible objects outside of the
drawing limits. Then use the delete command. Sometimes one will notice
objects in light grey color, which lie on a reference layer. Use a
crossing selection.
You could then use the purge command.

Reinhard,
Yes, I have zoomed extents and grabbed the drawing with a
crossing but still it won't delete the layer. Oh well.
Let me ask another question. I create drawings requiring me to
constantly change the size attributes for leaders and dimensions. Is
there an easy way to do this in R14? I know I can save a setting but
still run into trouble when I call it up.

Try WBLOCKing the visible contents of the drawing to a new file. See
if the errant layer shows up in that.

Save drawing as test.dwg
Thaw all layers and turn them on.
Erase "ALL"
Insert each one of the blocks in the drawing as they show up in the
dialog box, one by one one right next to the other. Use REFEDIT to
save open each of the blocks to discover which block contains the
object(s) that are on the suspect layer. If there are nested blocks,
do the same. Then erase that block. Purge the block. Purge the
layer. If the layer won't purge, there may be more than one block
with the same symptom.. The fast way: buy SuperPurge.
