This will completely remove AutoCAD 2011 and related plug-ins.
The VBScript will detect and uninstall 32-bit or 64-bit versions of English AutoCAD 2011 and language pack. It will also provide the option to uninstall the following plug-ins (if found):
If you have multiple AutoCAD 2011-based products installed, these modules may be in use by more than just AutoCAD 2011. Do not uninstall them if they could be in use elsewhere.
The VBScript will then remove folders and registry keys related to the uninstalled product and plug-ins.

Clear formatting button is clearing some of the formatting on the whole post and not just the selection. The description says: “Change the selection to plain text by clearing all of the formatting. One thing I found is if some of the paragraphs in the post are centered and I select a link that I pasted in that has another HTML style like Heading 5 and press Clear formatting all centered paragraphs are aligned to the left.
