Drawing File Size
Drawing File Size
(OP)
Guys,
I have searched this forum and done all of the things required to reduce my file size. I was hoping someone could possible help me to get the file size even smaller.
The issue I have is of download time, the GA that includes our design overlaid onto it is at the moment 8Meg. This GA gets uploaded onto a system that certain shipyards have access to. Once they come to build a certain part of this ship they need to download the relevant drawings. Now this system is not very good at handling big file size downloads. I was wondering if there was anyway of taking a snapshot of the GA with the least amount of background data on there. There are 95970 entities on this particular GA, is there anyway to decrease without losing any of the GA detail.
Regards
Danny

I use this method for emailing zipped DWG files and it works great and saves time.
RE: Drawing File Size
what did you do and did it help much?
9"5970 entities" - what kind?
I assume you're using blocks for repetititve type symbols.
-deleted all layer filters
-puged everything, as well as registered applications (with the "-purge" command).
