AutoCad 2D :: File Size Growing
May 21, 2012
In Acad 2006 2D, what could cause a file that's been around 1.3MB to increase to 2.5mB and now to 9.3Mb, in 2 days as I work on it? It already has many large Blocks but I haven't increased their number, just gone in and out of them to update, copy elements from one to another etc. Have added two more Paperspace sheets, with multiple viewports, but they are zoomed in so each viewport doesn't contain a great deal. Nothing new, just adding detail, tiny extra compared to what's already there. I have purged, Saved As, closed Acad and re-opened. Things like Trim between 2 lines have slowed right down - seconds to trim each line.

I have this XREF that is the topo for many drawings. I don't remember the original size, maybe around 6 MB, and now it is 9.9 MB and nothing has been added to it. It bogs down all of the drawings it is Ref'd into. Drawings with it take around 5 mins to open, save, and close.
I ran drawing clean up, no ref's attached to it, purged everything, zeroed out the Z values for everything in the drawing. There are about 51,000 +/- objects in the drawing. I have also tried copying and pasting everything into a new drawing, but crashed CAD.

In the attached file Lady.psd she gets more / less hair depending on how many layersare on / off. Why is it so? The layers are copies of each other and the original file is fromthe book Creative Photoshop, chapter 14 by Derek Lea.

Has any with CorelDraw X5 creating files that should be around 5 MB growing up to like 550 MB for no reason? Also have you reopened a file you had recently created and there be like 40 extra Layer 1's that are empty? I have had both of these happen. I have had work done to my machine and also reinstalled CorelDraw and those files apparently have a rogue bitmap or something in them b/c nothing is fixing it. Could be a corrupt file that a customer has sent me for their ad, but what element within a file is the culprit or if it's possible for a file to even work right if it's got a corrupt element in it?
I am losing money daily having to wait for 500 MB files to open and sometimes having to start over on ads b/c it locks my Corel up and I lose changes. Sometimes locks while saving updates and crashes.

My picture’s original size was 108.2 MB in tiff. After I developed my photo in Lightroom and exported the new image, the file decrease to 50MB in tiff. Why did Lightroom decrease the file size to more than half the original size? Is there a way to increase the exportation file size to that I may develop a large size print?

Can someone please explain to me about file sizes and image dimensions. I have to put together a collage which is 165mm high by 258mm wide. If I click file new and choose default resolution (72) then the file size is ok, if I type in 300 dpi the image becomes huge.
If i chosse 300 dpi then the images I was going to use seem tiny on such a vast workspace - Im confused why does the canvas become so large when changing resolution?

 When I save a file to jpeg the image size in photoshop remains the same as it was as a tiff file BUT according to the information that comes up in windows properties the file is much smaller (300k vs 2.9mg).  Can you advise me which is the correct file size?  If the correct size is the one showing in windows (300K) does mean that the file compressed in JPG and lost a lot of information?
 and if this is the case how can I prevent that from happening and still save the file as a JPG?  [ I would like the image to remain the size photoshop shows it to be] . Thank you very much.

am having an Issue with CS6 when saving files. When saving a file using the 'Save' option (not 'Save As') the file is not staying at the size of the artboard as it should, it is however being aurtomatically cropped down to the actual artwork size. This is causing issues with the Process we work with as we need the file to stay at the artboard size.If I click 'Save As' and change the Adobe PDF Preset to 'Press Quality' then this works, however this means that every file we save(which is quite alot in a day) means we have to go through the 'Save As' option and manually change each save.why this has suddenly started to happen with our Illustrators and do you know how to fix this so that it stays at the Artboard size when 'Save' is used?

Background info:
We got several image files every 2 weeks which should be edited and mainly reduced in size for web purpose. This work needs 1 work day for one man/woman to do, because he/she has to open the file save for web and then set the quality to a value were the file is nearly about 150-200 KB in size.
The images are different, some have few colors, some have a lot of colors and there are also different in resolution. But they should not be reduced in resolution, only in quality. All other specs of the image should be kept
Is there any possible script, plug-in or similar which can do the same (Saving with a specific max. file size) in some automatic and faster way?

So, I'm trying to create a repeat pattern of a Balloon illustration I've done in Adobe Illustrator. I've got the singular file (balloon.ai), which weighs in at around 700MB.
Now I'm trying to create the repeat of this pattern on a separate Artboard which will repeat these balloons, 30 balloons per repeat square to be precise.
What would be the best way to import these separate balloons into the repeat square once (as they're the same file) without affecting the weight of the file and performance of Illustrator?
So, in essence, is there a way to import that balloon.ai file and only have it use up 700MB on the page rather than 30x700MB by the time I've placed 30 balloons?
I can't rasterize the files as the printer needs the raw file.

I designed artwork for a large banner (84" x 32") so my AI artboard is that large. As you can imagine, with all the text and graphics I used, this file size is 22.8 MB. I need to email this art to the printer, but the file size is too large to email. How do i go about reducing the file size in AI so it still maintains large format print resolution? Will saving to a PDF lose the print quality?

If I open a jpg file and draw a single line just a few pixels long, when I save the file it doubles in size (as in disk space, not pixels). How can I prevent that from happening.

I have been using Autocad 2002 for a long time. Over the years I have a drawing in which I save my special lines, blocks, north arrow, etc.
I have tried everything to make this file smaller, nothing works.
I have even coppied just 1 item and created a new drawing, pasted it in , purged, audited, wblocked and the file size stays around 3 mgs in size.

I have this 3d file of mine (which i have worked so hard for it), and it's size has increased to 240 Mb's! I assume this has happened due to forced closings and the backup files ... i have already deleted them... but it didn't work. i ant even copy my model into a new work space.

We are working on a DWG file. Its a project my friend started and is of a house. She now started to bring in furniture from external files. Now her original DWG file is really big. Even if she deletes the furniture she brought in from external files, the original file is still bigger than it was.
I asked her if she could just copy the original 3D house to a new file. She said in a later version of AutoCad, she could just create BOX and save the objects to a new file, but she isn't sure how to do this in AutoCad 2012.
In Short: Is there a way to save her project? She can't even work on it now because the file is so big.

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 been using solid body ipts and iLogic code to drive them. I got a little carried away and noticed that the file size was 47 MEG. So I decided to start stripping out items in the model. I stripped out of all the code and all but the initial solid body. There is nothing left but a simple extruded feature. I saved the file and checked the size... 39 MEG.
What is it that could possibly be left in the ipt that would be 39 MEG? I probably deserve this punishment for pushing Inventor beyond its "normal" capabilities.

I try to do animation rendering by setting up the animation and letting run overnight sometimes. I often get the pop up window telling me that "the "undo" file size has reached its limit - Do I want to increase the file size?" This pauses the rendering until I hit the OK button. How do I get that to stop?
