    Dear Sabeer,
    THANKS for the excellent and simple trick to reduce the heavy file.
    i am a senior citizen, learnt (not really) autocad by just using - don't have formal training in this course;
    and
    your trips and tricks help me to gain additional knowledge.
    keep up the good work.
    wish you all the best.

    Just don't forget to collect any ExRefs, Fonts (.shx), or any other data that may be a main factor in your final display. Radical Purge is another effective tool outside of the standard PURGE command for reducing file sizes. But, this is still one of the most effective when reducing file size of a current drawing. He has alot of great videos to shed light on tricks and best practices for beginner to advanced users. Thanks again as always for the videos.
    A new video you could do I think would gain attention is imagery and best practice for inserting, attaching, importing or embedded. Most states have free map data and of course there are the pay sites. Just depends. The old zoom in to Google earth imagery and take smaller sections and mosaic them into your drawing is def one that most don't use. It takes a little work depending on the area, but the final product is rewarding knowing that the resolution can hang with the paid imagery sites. There are tricks as well to give that really good sharpness. Tricks like SuperHatch where the grass looks as real as it does on your front lawn. Take care.

    Nice trick... But what about layouts which are not reflected in a New DWG file, this is why the file size goes down.
    This method usually use for making separate drawing from existing one. But appreciate your effort... Thanks.

    I've just tried it, and YES it reduces the file size BUT it deletes all the drawing tabs with viewport, hence that's why it reduces the size. It only keeps what is in MODEL SPACE. Treat with extreme care!!

      3 . Open dxf file from your storage location.
      4. Just save (automatically save to dwg ).
      5. Use purg command for earse all unwanted layers & objects.

I THEN TRIED TO SAVE AT ACAD 2018 FORMAT AND FILE DROPPED TO 8MB WITHOUT DOING A THING! Then Windows zipped it down to 3mb! Moral SAVE to the newest ACAD FORMAT if you can.

    • @bobbytay879
      @bobbytay879 4 роки тому

      Hi, if you are using the latest version of autocad, at least version higher than 2013, make sure you run "purge" to clear anything that are unwanted. I have experience using autocad 2013, which have problem regarding If I use windows "copy" command which is the ctrl + c to copy object from other autocad drawing to target autocad drawing, it may copy unwanted stuff causing the autocad file bigger and bigger(this is bug that cause by autocad during the process of copy). Autocad version more than 2013 may not have this problem. But always run purge to clear unwanted things always help in reduce file size, make sure "zero-length geometry" and "orphaned data" to be selected during run the "purge" command.
      Also, I believe that saving autocad drawing to higher version do help in reduce file size, the above just some problem that I have encountered may fit your situation.
      Extra note: if you are using autocad version 2013, the purge command will not help in reduce file size that related with the problem that I mentioned. Autocad version 2013 "purge" command do not have the function to solve that issue, the "purge" command have been improved in later on version.
