Hello
Have you MANY strange LineTypes in your DWG ?
If YES :
If NOT: can you share (send us - Dropbox or any other manner) your DWG in .ZIP/.RAR format ?

I thought I was pretty nifty when it came to AutoCAD and it's 3D environment, regardless of the 3rd party platform. then one day, as it relates to a large dwg when by all indicators it should not be, I ran into the answer. It could possibly be your issue.
In modeling we can choose to record the history of objects we use to generate a 3d solid, like circles, squares, or any shape that we extrude, etc.
also, we can choose to show this history or not, it is possible to load down a dwg with a ton of history unbeknownst to the user.
the command BREP Removes the history from 3D solids and composite solids, and associativity from surfaces.
When a solid loses the history of the original parts from which it was created, the original parts can no longer be selected and modified. BREP also removes surface associativity. When a surface loses associativity it loses any mathematical expressions or information about how the surface was created.
set SHOWHIST to 1 or 2 to see the objects, and BREP to clean up.
hope it helps.
Hi
I am new to forums, so am not sure if this is the correct way to ask this question, please forgive me if it is not.
I have a similar problem as has been discussed here.
I did try to "unblock" it as well.
The files have been copied to my C\program files\... not the network.
When I tried to run the DgnLsPurge.DLL, I receive the following error:
Command: NETLOAD
Cannot load assembly. Error details: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\DgnLsPurge.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)
File name: 'file:///C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\DgnLsPurge.dll' ---> System.NotSupportedException: An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework. This release of the .NET Framework does not enable CAS policy by default, so this load may be dangerous.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Thank you

Try this...
Open a new file, Key in RECOVER Command & open your drawing.
Perform
1. Overkill
2. Audit
3. Purge
4. Also deleted Constraints by Selecting Whole drawing ( option Available in Parametric Tab)
Now save & close your drawing in .dxf format.
Open it, save as in .dwg format.
This method will definetly reduce your file size
Hi,
welcome @forums.autodesk.com!
>> I have a file size of 50mb
>> Can we reduce the size
To be honest, what answer do you expect now?

sir,

Hi,
files are limited here with 5MB, if you want to share a file larger than 5MB you'll have to use a public server like dropbox or A360 or something where you can upload large files.
