Reducing the size of a DXF
Reducing the size of a DXF
(OP)
Hi,
There is a way to reduce the size of a DXF outputted from Pro-E.
I have forgotten what to do though. Can somebody refresh my memory?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Jamie

RE: Reducing the size of a DXF
Why not just create a ZIP file?

Converting Pro-E drawings to DXFs
From the DXF we are creating PDFs to be put on the web.
Initial DXF's outputted from Pro-E are very large.
I vaguely remember my predeccessor showing me a way within Pro-E which produces a more manageable size.
Thought it might have been changing "Disp mode" on the drawings or something.....alas not!
cheers
RE: Reducing the size of a DXF
We create PDF files direct from Pro-E, you will need to install a PDF creator.
Visit www.pdf995.com
I think this is where we got a free download from. If not let me know and I'll find out where we did get it from.

RE: Reducing the size of a DXF
I can create PDF's already (Adobe Distiller).
We need the DXF's for a number of things, at the moment the average size is about 16MB. We have done it before though and produced files around 4-6 MB.

Keep in mind that producing a DXF from a drawing, more details you have in yor views DXF file will increase accordingly. Erase views you don't need, remove tangent lines.
