how to reduce file size which is too big for only have polylines and lines

[edenbU7RGS]

I've big dwg file (38mb) without any xrefs and logic reason to have big size. 

I've attached the file here so you can try find out what makes this file so big.

of course I've  googled it and try few solution without any success.. purge, audit, killall etc...

POLYLINE (old type) 437919

is massive! The "Text" are a lot of single polylines..

Open your file and run

convert polylines => ~15mb

use JOIN per Layer each => ~

i did it - convert polyline (ctrl+a)

and then join (ctrl+a)

but the file size still massive!

I used convert and saved as dwg2018,

= 15mb

I don't know why you get.

Try this step only with your original file and check the file size.

But the main problem is still the count of data/objects

two files attached

1 has all but txt 01 layer  9923 kb

2 is txt 01 layer    8341 kb   This layer is the killer on file size apparently

can you xref txt01 to the other?

Done with Map3d BTW

you right, the text that exploded to 2d polyline makes the file so massive. i didnt know that. 

i've exploded it because i link it to my revit model and i need the text to be readable (which is not happen with this type of language) 

i changed the font to something else with less lines and exploded it again and now the file size is 5MB.

thanks a lot
