I need to reduce the file size below 18 Mb.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am using AutoCAD 2014.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; My new autocad File size is 27 MB. It have&amp;nbsp;40 OLE objects (&amp;nbsp;37 spread&amp;nbsp;sheet and 3 jpeg ). &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; I need to reduce the file size below 18 Mb.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I guess the global tools like &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;_PURGE&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; were already done?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Otherwise delete objects from your file or copy the objects to different files and use &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#000080"&gt;_XREF&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;to show them as like in one file.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In general: when a drawing needs that space you can't say reduce the size without deleting something. It's like having a car with 1800Kg and you say "&lt;EM&gt;reduce the weight to 200Kg&lt;/EM&gt;" ==&amp;gt; that car will not be functional any more.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;@Anonymous&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt 0in;"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;"&gt;I see that you are visiting as a new member.&lt;SPAN class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: olive;"&gt;Welcome to the Autodesk Community!&lt;SPAN style="color: #000000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Audit, Purge, and -Purge&amp;gt;Regapps is usually a great start to reducing file size. &amp;nbsp;However, with all the items you are embedding into the file, I suggest that drawing setup is more likely the issue that needs your attention. &amp;nbsp;Putting all of those files into a single AutoCAD drawing is not a great idea. If you have any drawing errors or corruption you are likely to lose most if not all of the data.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I suggest that you consider breaking the files up into more manageable pieces that perhaps use xrefs to link drawing data and datalinks to connect tables to Excel spreadsheets.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you would like to share your file for me to examine, I am happy to send you an upload location.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>In addition to John's suggestion and you did not state&lt;BR /&gt;if the file was created using verticals (proxies). Keyword&lt;BR /&gt;search in this forum "Purge Dictionary Items" or "PDI".&lt;BR /&gt;This will remove *unnecessary* dictionary items that are&lt;BR /&gt;not "ACAD_" based (the user must enter keywords to&lt;BR /&gt;execute).&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;???&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I recommend to visit Autodesk App store and then search Purge.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Then You can see a lot of plug-in&amp;nbsp;about the purge.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Read manual and use it that you want!.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://apps.autodesk.com/All/en/List/Search?query=purge&amp;amp;isAppSearch=True" target="_blank"&gt;https://apps.autodesk.com/All/en/List/Search?query=purge&amp;amp;isAppSearch=True&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have been using Drawing purge from the app store.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I think that is useful to clean drawing and easy to use.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
