AutoCAD 2013 :: File Size With Extruded Objects
Nov 7, 2013
I've been working on 3D models and noticed when i take a circle and extrude it along a path (usually a spline) it adds a lot to a file size. The objects are used as electrical conductors on power poles. After a few city blocks of this the model file size becomes basically unusable.
So my question is why does extruding a circle along a curved path increase the file size so drastically and is there another alternative to keep the file size down?

Autocad 2014.
I have the outline of a solid body guitar that I drew with spline, extruded and now trying put a 1/2" fillet radius along the edges, top and bottom.
Using the 3d fillet command produces an error, and extruding a profile along the edge path doesn't work either.
Attached is the spline outline, the red part is what needs the fillet, but the white part does not. However, they can't be extruded into a 3d solid unless their joined!

my 3d extruded objects have open spaces or voids on some of the surfaces

i dont know what i am doing wrong working on 3D..There are not too many objects. One layer only. i have some blocks and for combining some objects i used union..i applied different materials, Sun properties etc it doesn't take time to render but to edit or even a single click on objects make them very slow..i saw the file size, it was 550MB..i purged them and used overkill command so it reduced to 450MB now..

My file was 550MB and then i purged them and it reduced to 450 MB... I am making a 3D Project.. I am not able to upload the file as it is too big so i give you a little detail what i drew..
There are 3 meters long 5 fence panels and there i worked on details of the ornaments and put materials on them.. There is a solid base with an image and i am using sun properties with lights etc...
I cannot render the file as it gives me an error.. i am not able to work on the file now as it is gigantic size..
I am using autocad 2014 and my pc specs are..
Intel i7..
6GB Ram
64MB VGA
What I am doing wrong making 3D objects? Would it reduce the size if i union all the objects or make blocks ?

I do my 3D modeling by use of simple cylinders,boxes and everything looks fine. but when I re-open the file just minutes later lots of objects has moved. See attachment. The attached picture shows a highlighted cylinder that is BOTH highlighted inside the module (where it is supposed to be) and on the outside where it has moved.
This happens all the time and I have to move the objects back in position. The distance the objects are moved is random. I use 'acadiso3D' template for these models

I have a simple angle iron (3 x 2 x 1/4 w/t x 3.00 LG.) .ipt that has 8 thru holes in it file size is 962 MB the file will not open however 3 days ago the file was normal size (160-180KB) and opened fine when i attempt to open this file it eats up about 8 gig of RAM then gives me PmBRepSegment in database then aborts the open process but Task Image Inventor.exe retains the 8+ gig of memory as if a file is open, what caused this file to grow 900 times in size when nothing was done to it?

This problem transfer from one file to another by copying some of it's content to another file. Any command were done just to try to reduce a file but still isn't working.
The problem became serious when each file became at-least 200mb per 2D dwg. Our Tech support said it was a kind of Number virus where it alters the log in each file to have a bigger file size.
Though this happens only in CAD, and certain files/projects were affected. The old and previous file unused where still intact. Only those new ones that we are currently accessing.

I have just produced .dxf files from .shp files using Surpac. The problem is that the final .dxf's are that huge in terms of memory that is really dificult to open the .dxf with any version of AutoCAD

when i bind the xref's the file size is increasing up to 50mb. the size of the file before binding is 4.5mb. i tried all the options whic ppl given in the discussion here. purged(all regeapps,zero txts etc.),wblock even some lisps. but all in vain. even i tried to audit but it took 2hrs and nothing happened. this dwg containing only lines poly lines, blocks, txts etc. no images and not even dence hatches also. 1500 drawings like this. i have to submit the softcopy soon.

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.

I have a drawing that has a filesize of 10meg even when there are no entities in the drawing.There are about 1000 lietypes in the drawing but it wont let me purge them out.These are what are most likely causing the bloat.Some things I have tried without success...
Erase all then purge 3x and audit then purge 3x then audit. Qselect shows no entities in drawing.Save back to acad 2007 and repeat above

Last month, I was drafting a simple 2d floor plans for my school assignment but the cad file size became huge and started to crash. After consulting my lecturers, I did a few things to attempt to solve the overly huge file size.
1. Redrew the drawing from scratch
2. Purged both old & new drawings
3.Auditted both old & new drawings
4. Saved each floor plan as a separate drawing so as to reduce file size
However, the same problem occurred and the new drawings also became too huge & slow to work with.

I 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".

I got the CAD file 18 MB in size although I do audit, purge, recover, wblock but cannot fix this. The problem was resolved when i created new file in ACAD 2011 and copy all information to.
I mean ACAD 2013 may contain something affect to file size.
Here is the file's link [URL]

I'm laying out some big panels containing smaller images, so I am adding these using 'File>Place'. However, while the empty panel takes up about 70 MB, placing 3MB worth of smaller images makes the file size explode to a whopping 150MB, making it impossible to fill up the entire board. So far, I've seen file sizes of 500 MB, with Photoshop eating up 50GB swap files. what is going on here?
(I'm using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.7.3)

By working in millimetres instead of metres will slow things up with my file. My 0,0 point refers to the actual survey co-ordinates which I need to continue to use as regularly share my file with the surveyor and we need to be working on the same 0,0 point. Because I am working in mm 0,0 is therefore further from my drawing that it would be in m. Will changing to metres make a significant difference to me? My file has 34 layout pages and even more viewports which I would have to re scale if I changed the units in my drawings or is there a simpler way of doing this than rescaling the drawing by a factor of 0.001?

But when using a nested smart object (meaning a smart object within a smart object) Photoshop CS5 doesn't display the correct file size (at bottom left) or seem to account for the nested smart object file size. Is there a "setting" I’m missing to accurately display what the true file size is?
The Problem: Using multiple nested smart objects that I have reduced the size of my image to be 260x200 for web export. Photoshop CS5 won't let me save a file that appears to be only 3mbs claiming it's over 2 gig's. See image below.
Really not sure what to do about this, the company I work for makes lots of changes so using smart objects is necessary for my work flow. But also seems to be slowing me down trying to figure out issues like this and is problematic when it comes to saving all the work I have been doing.

I am very much new to AutoCad, but have learned quite a bit about it in the last few days. As a part of the learning I have been building a 3D model of the shed my dad is building. But I ran into a problem on the roof and cant seem to figure out how to click everything into place.
My problem: I need to keep the size and shape of all objects while also connecting the objects to the main structure. I need to keep A and B connected to the main structure and adjust the angles so that both meet at C. But if I move one then another moves out of place. (In the pic B is out of place) All I want to do is hold the beams at A and B in their spot while adjusting the rotation on both beams to meet at C all at the same time. I have tried to fine adjust the rotation on the beams individually but still cant get them together. I cant seem to get the constraints feature to work, because I guess it only works in 2D. I have tried to use the align tool but it just throws everything haywire.

A user is having problems when using the copy command in AutoCAD 2013.
When they select objects, its not reporting on the commandline how many objects its found or keeping a running total of objects selected. Not even any duplications...
I've tested it on my machine but i cannot replicate the issue and have never come across this before!
Is it a bug? Is it a variable? User setting etc.

Is there a way to extrude a cut through an assembly but only cutting the parts I want cut? I am using Inventor 2012. Basically I want to use a part in the assembly as reference for the cut. But I do not actually want to cut that part only the surrounding parts.

using cad2010,
i usually trace a 2d plane with a 2d polyline, and then extrude it (using the extrude command) , the problem is that i cant see in the properties its XYZ position,
is there anyway to see this information and of course to modify it?

I select the polyline that i do this
Solid3d s = new Solid3d();
s.CreateExtrudedSolid(selectedPolyline, new Vector3d(0, 0, 20), new SweepOptions());
but Autocad throw an Invalid Input exception.

I'm new to autodesk. I cannot seem to figure out how to angle a piece of material after it has been extruded.
For example, If I create a shape ie. a 10mm square and extrude the shape to a length of say 100mm, and want to miter either end at 45 degrees so as I can join them to create a 90 degree angled piece....
How do I angle the end of the extruded piece?
I know it can be done with a simple chamfer but this is not ideal when dealing with more complicated shapes.
I am using autodesk 2012.

I have two simple parts: an (almost) rectangular prism and a simple polygonal extrusion. The polygonal extrusion needs to be situated inside the prism, so I placed them in an assembly constrained the polygonal extrusion made a sketch on the extrusion with a simple 1/8 outward Offset of the profiledid a Model > Modify Assembly > Extrude using the profile and Through All selected removed the polygonal extrusion as a participant to get the desired effect (in the photo, the offset is enlarged for clarity):
This works perfectly at the assembly level. However, I would also like this cut to be propagated to the rectangular part itself (the part through which the cut passes). When I open the part file, I still see the original part without the cut. Is there a way I can cut the part itself without recreating the shape in the part to be cut?
I've tried using Model > Create > Derive with the intention of using Model > Modify > Combine with an operation mode of Cut, but when I Derive the part, it is placed in the wrong location:

I have draw in DWG the front view of a ship's frame. I've closed the loop in inventor and extruded the object but I am unable to sketch on most of the surface to complete the side view..??
I can only sketch on one section the upper and lower sections it won't allow me too.
The top should be offset to the right but I am unable to draw the sketch onto the fame.
