I hope this make me see like I am smart asking this, but I totally can see it making me look ________ on the other side of it...
Lets say I have a Detail Sheet. That has detail blocks in it with an xref Title Block. The file size is 2MB. Details are in model space and title block is in paper space.
I detach the title block xref and save the Detail Sheet. The file size is still 2MB.
I then, WBLOCK out the details in modelspace to a new drawing. The file size is about 250KB. (cool.)
I then xref the same title block into the wblock dwg. Save the file and the file size is 2MB.
I go one step further, I wblock out the title block which has a size of 70KB. I xref that into the wblock details and save the file. The file size is 2MB.
Am I missing something here? I did this test on my workstation, detached from the network and reconfigured CAD by removing my app data stuff. (So very similar to a new install).
Thanks for any feedback... Just trying to understand.
Also, anyone using Civil3D2016 have their purge dialog box appear very very slowly / delayed?
