Really Large yet EMPTY file

[SLW210]

You can try Regapp ID Cleanup Utility for AutoCAD 2013/2014 works with DwgTrueView 2013/2014.

Will it work with 2012? I saw that, and they have one for 2008/2009, but not for 2012.

[SLW210]

NO, but it will work on all files by using DWG TrueView 2013/2014, just add to the DWG TrueView folder instead of the AutoCAD folder.

 

I installed to

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\DWG TrueView 2013

 

Works fine here.

[resullins]

Crap. I removed that program. It drove me nuts.

[resullins]

Ok... one more.

 

So, all these files that I -PURGED still take 4-5 MINUTES to save an close. Even though they're now only a couple hundred KB. Why would they take that long?

Did you run an AUDIT after purging?

[resullins]

Yup. Doesn't find anything.

OK can anyone explain why when I use the -purge then r it deletes thousands of registered applications save the drawing close it open again and all the registered applications are back?????????????????????????????

 

Please help

Probably Xrefs or just simply what ever may need them is still in the drawing.

[resullins]

Yeah, you've got something in there that's bringing them back in when it loads. I would check X-Refs first... apparently that was my culprit in most of my drawings. So go run the same command in the xref files.

[mrose]

Cleared all xrefs also but still everything comes back its really strange

[PotGuy]

Maybe bind the XREF?

 

It may be that you'll need to look through the source code perhaps in notebook and go through it that way?

Can you post the file? Maybe we can take a look.
