Huge drawing size, tried everything!!
Huge drawing size, tried everything!!
(OP)
Here's the background, I'm creating a group of blocks to be used as our best practise. I inserted existing blocks and created new blocks in one drawing. I standardized the text style, size ect of every block. I then used "block" to convert them. After this, I used "wblock" to send them on their way. Well my problem is that each one of these blocks is around 700K!!! The size should be around 42K. I've purged and there is nothing there, I've searched and searched the wed for additional information about what's going on here and can't find a thing. I'd appreciate any help i can get. Thanks in Advance.

I'd explode all blocks before doing the final WBLOCK

Thanks for the tip! It's exactly what was "wrong". Boy did I have some filters in there WOW!!!!
I found a delete fileters lsp, and ran that. The drawing size went from 700K+ to 52K. This is a great forum that I just joined for this problem, now I'm going to make this place the first place I visit when I got a problem.

To check layer filters. open layer manager dialogue box (usually type "la"). On the left side is named layer filters. Is there a looooooong list of names?
