Topic: CDG Purge 4.0 problem

[Notsober]

hello again!

remember my 42MB dwg problem? it's back. only this time, i have dwgs that are getting BIGGER when I use CDG Purge!

I tried all my past "fixes" and they are not working...

I do a simple purge, and the dwgs go from say, 105kb to 250kb! when I use CDG Purge, dwgs go from 250kb to 1.8MB!!

What's the deal?

[David Hall]

can you post the file for us to look at?

[Notsober]

i had to delete all the confidential stuff, and lo and behold... the dwg went from 130kb to 1.8MB!

but here it is.

see if this one is better.

*saved to 2004

[Notsober]

I get an error: Dwg is not valid

did you resave it down as 2004 or 2000?

I suppose I forgot to mention that I'm working with A2004.





[edit: don't worry, I converted it myself using DWG TrueConvert]

[Notsober]

see if this one is better.

so what did you do, other than open it and save it using a newer ACAD?

cuz I still need to *fix* the original dwg.

Run Michael's "counts" routine to see what's in the drawing. I'm not sure why the drawing is so big

this was ran in the original dwg BEFORE CDG Purge was run...

I don't notice anything unusual.... what I'm wondering is why does the dwg jump from 331kb to 1.8MB after I run CDG Purge??
