Why can't people do things right.
I received a drawing today, 5.5 meg in size, I purged it as soon as i got it, and hey presto 500k.
IS it just me or are some people who claim to be cad technicians just chancers.
Not purging drawings is my pet hate, it takes a few seconds and can make a great difference to the file size.
I recently had a spare few days and purged a lot of drawings in one project folder and saved over 100 meg of space on the server.
And another thing, don't make layer names called 01, 02, 03 etc. People who work with your drawings don't have a clue what they are, here's a clue, make them descriptive. i.e. _63_lighting or _63 lighting_text. at least then I'll know what the layers are.
Rant Over, (Calming down now)...
