AutoCAD File size

[alundy]

I have tried everything I know to do to reduce this file, this is just one floor (18.3 MB) of seven all with similar sizes.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Alundy,

I ran a Purge, Audit, -Purge>regapps and finally an Exporttoautocad. This reduced the file size (about 15MB) a bit but you have everything exploded into individual objects.

I guess that all I can suggest is to start moving lines to layers so you can more easily determine what to keep and what to delete. I am guessing that all the wall pattern entities could be erased and would make a significant difference in file size. I would also consider removing all the wall centerlines and the inside face of gwb.

@alundy hello, the caused why your is file is so big because the hatching has been exploded. you have to delete all the hatching to reduce the file size. hope it helps. thanks

Hi,

If we turn a blind eye regarding file status !!!!!! i success to reduce file size to 1.95MB after selecting all the Hatch (was) lines and erase them by Qselect .

My advice for you is try to go back to the original file - if exist - and get one new more acceptable than this one,because i consider this file as useless CAD file.

Good Luck..

Thank, this is what I ended up doing replacing the floor plan with original file.

Thank You,
