todouble22 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Can you compress an Autocad 2007 drawing to bring down the file size? start of by purging it? Quote
ScribbleJ Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 todouble22's suggestion is about all you can do. AutoCad compresses files as it writes them. Another suggestion (if you haven't already) would be to type in -purge then R for the Regapps option. Sometimes regapps can get out of control. I've seen files with as many as over 150,000 regapps which slows the files way down. Quote
nukecad Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 And depending on your Acad version you may want to take a look at how many layer filters have been set up; these can take up a lot of filesize and can get imported into drawings when you copy/paste even just one line from another drawing. Earlier versions Quote
