Good morning.
How can I reduce the file size of this logo?
I can't attach it because it's 11MB.
How can I post it here?
The letters are made with lines and arcs and filled with solid hatching.
Thank you very much

Did you try a -Purge?

 

Make the lines and arcs polylines (Pedit M).

 

Do the solid hatches have a border and also outlined with lines and arcs? If so you only need one or the other or even no border/outline at all since it's solid.

 

You might use a  file sharing service (like Dropbox, etc.) to share the file, though for just a check on methods to reduce the file size, you could just post a smaller portion of the logo.

Yes.
I tried purge, -purge, audit, overkill, and nothing.
I am attaching a link with two versions, one made with lines, arcs, and solids, and another with fonts.
Thank you.

Best way to clean a difficult file is WBlock, not sure what had those bloated like that.

Good morning.

 

I used the clean logo placed here by SLW210, but I still have a problem with the weight of the drawings. I've already tried wblock, purge, -purge, and overkill, but nothing works!
What could be causing the weight in the drawings?
Here is a link to five drawings that have the same problem.
Thank you very much for your help.

I opened your files in Bricscad and did WBLOCK on them, and they all reduced down in size dramatically.

 

I haven't looked to see if anything is missing, so have a look and see if they are OK.

 

The last file I Wblocked complained that there were over 1,500 layer filters. I don't use them myself, but it seems excessive to me (see screenshot file).

Good morning.

Everything looks fine to me.

Is wblock in Briscad the same as Autocad?
Thank you very much.

Hi Bandido, I have no idea if it is different as I don't have Autocad. But I'm glad it seemed to have worked for you.

I tried something.
Just import a word from the old design into these new ones and the weight immediately rises to the value of the originals!

Thanks again.
