Autocad Plant 3D - Purging Plant 3D Local Data Cache Purging

Purging the local data cache in AutoCAD Plant 3D can resolve issues like missing grips by clearing unused or corrupted data. This involves closing Plant 3D, running the PnPLocalDataCachePurger executable found in the Plant 3D folder, and then opening Plant 3D to audit the project rather than using the recover command if errors are present.
