I'm an student of engineering. I did some tests with big files (over 40 mb) in ASD. But crashes, slows a lot (in 3d orbit with 2D wireframe visual style and visual style pan with realistc). With very good computer (i7, 16 GB ram, gtx 680 ...). The ASD use a file "dwg" and another "$ bc". Should distribute multiple files the extension. As used by other programs.
1-What is going on?
2-Autodesk is working in this situation?
Thank you.

please see some old posts here, this is one of many problems of ASD: solids.
For example:
-structures 500 tons on ASD: files up to 40 mb.
-structures 500 tons in other software: files or folders less than 10 mb.
I have sent you a response wich was removed (here). Many people divide their big project into small projects to obtain lighter files.
It's the best of the worst ways.
I've managed to model a 1500 ton structure in ONE file using 2D wireframe on 8 GB RAM. The secret is always to delete the drawings you've generated from the model. The clean model dwg file is only 35 MB. Also I displayed on screen 3 views of the model, TOP VIEW, ISOMETRIC and SIDE VIEW so that I was not compelled to rotate the 3D view.
