very slow in copy and paste

[Anonymous]

hi,guys. I'm new user here and autocad 2008LT user. just want to know how to resolve the lagging time in copy and paste on this version(2008LT). I already purge and audit the drwg, but the problem still persisted. I don't know what is the best solution. anybody can help me.. :'(

Does it happen in every drawing?
What if you start a new empty (no template) drawing and copy and paste something from there into another new empty drawing?

So what changed with your PC? LT2008 is not new, but what is new?
Did this problem start today or recently?

Thanks for reply.

Actually it has not happen on every drawing. Only certain drwg. Sometimes i
got drawing from other professional draughter like architect, and their
drawing quite a lot item but still small in size.still less than 1MB.

But after i add my own item on there..the file size are drastically going
high. It's not only big in size but also very long delay when I wanna copy
and paste it to another drawing.

Quite wonder. Is there any technique to speed up the drawing performance?

Sounds a lot like these certain drawings include the "Microstation linetype bloat" issue.

Can you post one of these offending DWG files? If it's too large to attach here, can you post using A360, Dropbox or something else like that?

this problem started since 6 months ago until now. Actually I do not make
any new change on this PC. maybe this problem just come from my false
technique. but I dont know how. Just drew a few items. but it become up to
10MB. irrelevant. 😞

Sounds like you need to purge your file.
