Educate your users!
Let them keep their drawings clean, no unused X-refs, get the drawings
purged !!
Eventually use wblock.
From managing point its important that the users do that, think of storage
and backup,
loading time, editing time etc
Example:
received an architectural drawing, size 5.6Mb.
ran a simple purge, size 2.5Mb.
used wblock, size 677Kb. !!
No details were missing in the drawing, loads faster, pans faster etc.
Our drawings rarely grow over 1Mb (construction), as soon as the drawing is
bigger, the user is addressed to clean up.
