I am currently working for pepsi factory with huge machines in their factory building. My problem is that these drawings are very big and not loading quite well even in high performance systems. My current drawing size is about 120MB, without any hrefs.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created some custom linetypes. When I copied them over to my drawing, the text in the linetypes came in extemely large. I really need to get this figured out as I am setting up a template for a new customer, and they want all these included.
I have attached the dwg for reference.
When I open a large facility building drawing my mouse is "jumping" on the screen.
The resolution of the mouse does not allow me to select obejects on the screen because the mouse jumps in large increments.
I do not have this problem on smaller drawing, such as electrical schematics.
Is there a setting to increase the resolution of the mouse movemrnt id AutoCAD?
Drawing size on an A4 at different scales,The A4 can have a drawing size up to 29.7x21 meters when printing with a scale of 1/100 while it can have up to 14.8x105 meters when printing with a scale of 1/500.
Does this mean that we need to have different title blocks each time we print in an A4 paper size with different scale?

We have a drawing that has been exploded purged, overkilled, audited and we still cannot decrease the size of it. Theres no blocks, theres no 3d, its a very simple drawing but I feear its corrupted. I've tried copy/blocking the information out of it but that just makes it crash. I cant attach it its too big! (16 meg)

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there are way to make the size of this dynamic, So you can drag it wider and taller, There are other boxes that seem to be frozen in size. I use this with many custom fields and it's difficult to enter data when you see what your doing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have always left my ltscale @ 1, but I ran a cross this question on a test."What is the Ltscale fact for a drawing plot size=200x150 and limits=(0.00,0.00) (600.00,450.00)
on the test it is multiply chose 2, 3, 4 and UCSVP..I don't want the answer just how do I figure ltscalt factor?

View 9 Replies View RelatedIve got this blank DWG with a file size of 4MB... ive ERASE > ALL on all layouts, then PURGED a few times, i cant see any layer filters. The STATUS command says it has 241007 objects. but i cant find or get rid of them.
Take a look at this DWG and let me know how i can clear it out and reduce the file size?

Uploaded to DropBox... the DWG was too big to attach to the post.
I have a file that doesn't have a lot of stuff in it, but the file size seems to be quite large in proportion. Is there a way that I can use DBList, and export the data to a spreadsheet? It would be a lot easier to search through than the F2 way.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have successfully printed a dwg to a pdf but instead of its file size being 450k it is 1.4 m. This makes sending pdfs via email too cumbersome. It seems that even though the outcome is B&W somewhere along the line "it" thinks it is Color. I noticed that in Page Setup I no longer have the option of "DWG to PDF.pc3".

Try to delete all components, all custom ViewReps, Positional Representations and Level of Details and save the file. If the file empty is till very big, then this post might be interesting.

I have a dwg file with >9.8MB. When use Ctrl-c Autocad freeze for 15 seconds aprox.I can open and manipulate this file with other CAD Software and regenerate this file in only 531Kb (that is true for my file), with the same elements (identical file).
I try to purge, reset scalelistedit, but nothing.(I want to attach >9.8MB file but is to large for this discussion group)
What do you use to Print your large Sheetsets ? Do you use the Publish function within AutoCad ?
Do you use Acroplot or any other 3rd party software ?
I had to print around 80-100 Plan and Profiles Sheets, Sections, Coverpage, Index, Legend, etc.
My node for a particular drawing is appearing extremely large. I recall there being a set variable to adjust this, but I cant seem to find it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with a bunch of existing drawings. The drawings displayed fine with Autocad 2009 but with 2010 the blocks have huge rectangles drawn around them. (so big they extend off the title block) We have a few machines running older versions and the drawings display fine but any machine with 2010 all displays these boxes.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am not sure whether this involves annotative block.
My RCP at 1/8" scale looks okay. Yet in my 1"=10'0" POT plan,
I would like these exit lights/signages to appear double in size when printed,
(since POT is merely a schematic)
From 1/8" scale to 10' scale (96 to 120), the symbols by logic should appear
80% smaller, not larger.
Can this be done with annotative block?
I have a drawing with multiple layouts which is of a road plan and profile in 2 view ports.
When I publish the multiple drawings to DWF the 2nd viewport with the profile in it is completely black, but when I plot to DWF a single layout, it works fine which I don't understand. Surely the publish command publishes to DWF with the same settings as when you do a single plot to DWF, no?.
I have attached an example of the publish result.
I am designing grid arrays using CAD2012 but I need to save them in 2000DWG and then R13DXF for working with an old machine.
I don't know why 2000DWG much larger than 2010DWG and even worse when I save in R13DXF.
I am not sure whether it's my design or something is wrong with the setting. I only use basic structure (rectangles and lines).
I attach one section my 2000DWG drawing without hatching and explode here. The real design would have 9 of this grid with labels and with solid hatching and explode all the components.
I tried the full strusture with solid hatching and explode all the components then save as R13DXF for the machine to read it. The 2000DWG gets >5mb and R13DXF becomes >50mb which is crazy. I tried purging but it doesn't get better.
I have an excel spreadsheet with a lot of coordinates. I know how to insert a large amount of coordinates as an block in my dwg. But what I want is to connect my Excel to my dwg, so if I change my Excel automatically the blocks in my dwg change.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have quite a large drawing (subdivision) with many bearings annotated.On many of the bearings, I wish to reverse them.
For example, if the text is 6°49' I want it to read 186°49'
Similarly if the text is 355°21' I want it to read 175°21'
Any LISP routine or VBA that will do this?I have one called "180" however it only succeeds in crashing Autocad.
