Hi,

>> can u teelll me the command ....for reducing drg.file size

(sarcasm on)

Command is: _DELETE<ENTER>_ALL<ENTER><ENTER>

(sarcasm off)

Sorry, there is not "THE ONE command" available that solves all problems with drawing sizes.

You have already shown you used "all the command" (whichever you mean by that) but for us we don't know why you think you file size is too large. A drawing-size of some 10MB or even 100MB is possible and valid.

Another size of 1MB might be too large if nothing is in the drawing.

Also a drawing size of 10MB might be reducable to 1MB if there are used other techniques then just drawing just lines.

So what is your file, what size does your file have, what size do you expect that it should have and at least what command's (listed) have you used when you say "all the command"?

Hi,

>> When I want to open it in my phone

sorry, I don't understand what you are trying, sounds like you try to open the DWG file on your phone/handy. Is not clear for me what you are trying currently.

HI,

i did follow your instruction . I can do till "save & close in .dxf format". But when i open it again, i can not open.

Error is " Invalid symbol table record name: *Multiple on line 9178. 

             Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.

              Press ENTER to continue.  " i saw like that. My file is 144 Mb. It is not 3D.  I need to open about 3 or 4 files (around same size)when i draw the drawing. At that time my computer is so so slow. Please advice me.

Best regards
