Hello Swamp Members,
I have a AutoCAD drawing file received from a consultant that I need to use on a project. The file size is over 15mb however, from looking at the the drawing it should only be around 1-2mb tops. I deleted all layer filters, purged and audited the drawing but the file size remains around 13mb. I looked into the Purge command options and found blocks that could not be deleted and discovered there were over 2000 block definitions (*A10, *A100, *A101, etc) in the file that was probably the reason for the large file size.
Apparently these Anonymous Blocks are causing the problem......is there any way to delete/purge them from the drawing....?? I tried to copy and paste the visible objects to another clean drawing files but the "Paste" options fails with an "Invalid" error. How can I resolve this difficulty....??
Any assistance would be appreciated...!
Regards,
Vince
