Styles and other C3D data-only content? Does this happen on a computer with only AutoCAD (C3D enabler turned off/not present)?All computers are running Civil 3D.
Opened fine here with C3D 2017. How does the attached drawing behave for you?It hung at 87% on open like the one I posted, and it also hung at 87% when I ran a purge.
Just a quick wblock over itself without saving changes :) .. I do this to every file I get to get the 'crap' out.Opened fine here with C3D 2017. How does the attached drawing behave for you?...
What I don't understand is how your file is almost a mb smaller. What did you do to the drawing?

There is a known issue with file bloat/slow open for C3D 2013-2017. It has been corrected in the latest service packs for 2016 & 2017, and there is a fix available for 2014 & 2015. Unfortunately, 2013 was not included in the released fixes...perhaps a call to your reseller may get you something that works for 2013.Lovely. Well, we need to upgrade anyway.

Cool! Thank you.:)
I didn't even realize wblock would do that.
Cool! Thank you.How is wblock doing that?

Word to the wise: Set all viewports and all spaces (i.e. model-space, paper-space) to the World Coordinate System (WCS) before using the WBlock cleaning technique (or -ExportToAutoCAD) lest some drawings go wharrgarbl (http://i.imgur.com/qLNSUru.gif).Quick test in 2017 & viewports remain unchanged in paperspace so long as the wblock is done from modelspace & set to world.
... as long as the wblock is done from modelspace & set to world.
Same. Only works from model. Pretty cool.... as long as the wblock is done from modelspace & set to world.
Yep. :thumbs_up:
