    Hello all,

     

    Was wondering if others could share thier tips/ tricks for shrinking file sizes.I have one in particular Which is not working well. It seems there are BIM objects in it, Is there a command to remove some of the "intelligent" features from the file?

     

    Or, what would be your usual courese of action to get the file size down?

    Hi,

     

    >> a command to remove some of the "intelligent" features

    _ERASE

     

    And additional to Patchy's ones

    • _-PURGE and use the option to purge application-registration items
    • copy&paste objects into a new drawing.
