LanloyLisp Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hello Guys! It's been a long time since my last post in this forum. Kindly please help me to find out which causes my drawing file size very large (around 42 MB). Hopefully this will satisfy my curiosity. Thanks! dwg file to download: https://we.tl/cBjbEGKQof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanloyLisp Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 I'm using Autocad 2017 and I don't have any luck finding these "RegisteredApplications.Count = 7". I already tried -purge>regapps>n but the result is "No unreferenced registered applications found." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkmcswain Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Opened it in BricsCAD, did a saveas (without doing anything else) - and the file size of the new file is 38kb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't have this installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 USE DXFOUT and then look at all of the data in there. A boatload of 310 records. Over 385MB in this format. You don't need this DWG file. Just start a new empty one. There is literally nothing in this one except this garbage. BTW: You can download BricsCAD and try it if you'd like.

rkmcswain Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 rkmcswain..Can you please list down the 310 records. Just do as I said and export the drawing to DXF format, then open the DXF file in Notepad. You can see it clearly. Here is a screenshot.

LanloyLisp Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Lan: Since the drawing contains nothing of value why are you even concerned? Hi Remark, Actually there were objects present before. I noticed that why does the file is heavy whereas there are only around 1000 objects. So I made the file empty on my curiosity to find which causes the file huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I think you should have provided the original (full) drawing instead of an empty drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanloyLisp Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 I have the original file in our office. I will make a link tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Where did the drawing originate from? What program was the drawing created with? Did you "borrow" any content from any other drawing and insert it into this drawing? Do you regularly clean up your drawings using such commands as Overkill, -Purge, Audit and WBlock?
