AutoCad :: DWG Files Are Ballooning In Size From 3 Mb Up To 20 / 40 / 60 And Even 90 Mb
Jul 1, 2013
We are experiencing a significant problem which is shutting us down almost completely with several files. We believe this is because they are files which at on e time had Civil drawings x'ref'd into them. Even after detaching the xref's and purging and auditing, they remain large (38mb) so that AutoCAD (we use 2013 both full and LT versions which all react the same - Windows 8 64 bit) cannot even perform basic functions like copy/paste. They become basically unusable, and we can't continue. We have done all the program updates and once this happens, it appears that it can't be reversed.

I have several iterations of an assembly. Specifically I have a base of a machine with different tooling for different products.
I generated the BOM by referencing the specific tooling I am trying to detail. That worked. But when I balloon, it references the main assembly. It won't let me redirect the source file to the tooling asm.

When ballooning an assembly drawing having a structured/all levels BoM, the balloons default to the part level of the BoM hierarchy. Is there a way to have the balloons reference the part's subassembly (direct parent) without having to override the value of each balloon manually?

I'm trying to write a program in C# to automate ballooning from a BOM.The routine must read the BOM and for every row it highlights in all the views the corresponding component.Then the user must be able to manually draw a balloon or balloons to the highlighted items.
When done the next row of the BOM is called, etc.I can choose to start with a BOM from our PDM system or the Inventor BOM, partlist or drawingBOM
I tried different ways but I get stuck on it.I even tried to select the nodes in the browser and called oNode.doselect, but then I can't get the proper type for the selected items to go further?

(check out the attached .bmp for clarity)
I need to either add a custom balloon to a 3D wiring harness (made of individual wires) or add a split balloon (showing item number then sheet number) to my layout. What I have now is a 3D harness with all my connectors shown on it and a balloon calling out what connector it is. I want to attach a custom split balloon to my connector callouts to reference the wire and sheet number of another sheet in the same project. I should also mention that there are tons of connectors that as far as Inventor is concerned is the same model.
I've already created a user symbol to attemp to work around it but I can't attach the custom symbol to the existing balloon.
Secondly, why can't I attached a balloon to the 3D harness anyway. I also can't add a balloon to the nailboard view either!

I am wondering when in the idw and have multiple parts some the same and some different. I would like to distinguish between each part as a different part or balloned so they all have a different ref number.
example: have part A and part B and part C
part A has three different instances in the iam
part B has two
part C has four
How do I represent them in parts list and ballooning as different single instances?
part A- ballooned like- 1, 2, 3
part B- ballooned 4,5
part C- ballooned 6,7,8,9

I need to save my drawing files to dxf format. I do this by typing in "DXFOUT" in the command line. This creates the DXF file I need for uploading into another environment, however I am noticing its size is 3x the size of the dwg file.
IS THERE A WAY TO REDUCE THE FILE SIZE OF THE DXF?

I have DWF file around 30,000 parts and the file size 18 to 25 MB.
I can open with 2013 DWF viewer but soon I turn the model it crash.
I change the setting in DWF viewer to Open GL or Software Open GL and it work but the graphic is not friendly rotating it missing a lot of detail.
My customer demand to use the DWF file to review the design and I don't know how to support them.
I try 3D PDF it is bad too.

I have a font bitmap which is greyscale, 8-bit, 512 x 512 pixels. It takes up 18K bytes. When I open it up in CS3 and save it back out under a different name, the file suddenly swells to 114K!
What is it doing there, and why? Maybe some kind of compression in the original that is not being used by PS?

my Epson 700 scanner made tiffs of 600 mb each. I put one levels adjustment layer and it doubles to 1.2 GB.(and I turned off maximize capability the day before per another thread)And the files now do not get small or big previews in Bridge at all. (I purged cache)
I tested a save as PSD, and they come in fine with previews and are only 430 MB 1/3 size of the Tiffs. I think I'm done with tiffs unless an agency demands them.

I've recently purchased a new machine with windows vista and loaded on CS3 photoshop (which is new to me).
My problem is when I open a new file it's huge.
I set the size to a simple A4 and resolution 150 pixels/inch but the image size is 3.24M before I even start.
I've done various tests by bringing in old images I created and they do come in at original size, it's just new files.
I've gone through all the settings and everything looks normal.

I have over 2,000 different size psd files, both portrait and landscape, that need to be formatted in 3 main ways.I am looking for some automator or photoshop actions way to do this to save hours and hours and hours of work.
The first step is that each image needs to be proportionally placed into its own tile that is 1110 X 1050. (Each file should keep its original name) Do the images need to be flattened before this is done?Can this be done with photshop actions and/or automator to save time doing it manually?
The second and third steps are to convert the image to a png and to also create the following file sizes/names
185x175 called "title".png,
370x350 called "title"@2x.png,
555x525 called "title"-ipad.png,
1110x1050 called "title"-ipad@2x.png
My system is
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.4

I have a question about the size of tiff files. I start with RAW (NEF) photos from my Nikon D800. These files generally import at around 40MB each and I am using Lightroom 4 to keep track of them.
I'll use Lightroom's "Edit in PS" functionality, make a bunch of edits to the file in CS6, flatten all the layers, and then save the file (as a tiff). The original NEF file was ~40MB but the new tiff file (in this specific example) is over 200MB!
How can I get the file back to a reasonable size for storage? I don't want to have to save it as a jpg - I want to keep as much information as I can.

I have a few files that I need to make ASAP into banners that are 19ft x 15ft and many other sizes. I can only change into a RAW Photoshop or a tiff. I tried saving into a tiff then converting but nothing is working.
I was also going to try to convert into a AI program then into a vector but with no luck.

I've been working with Canon .CR2 files and later Adobe .dng files for years, and could always open them in Photoshop. Now, with PS CC, the files open as small previews (420 x 280 px) instead of the full size. This means I cannot work with my photographs!

When I open files in Photoshop they don't open in their actual size. Guess it's connected to their large screensize. But before working with them I always zoom them to actual 100%. Force Photoshop open automaticly in 100%?

Since I updated to CC I've had a bug that drives me a little nuts. Because I have a Retina MacBook Pro connected to an Apple Thunderbolt display, Photoshop seems to get confused about the size of the window to open. It thinks it should be sized to fit on the Retina screen (which I use as secondary), but at 100% on the non-retina screen (the primary display).
The end result is that every time I open a document the window is only showing the top quarter of the document I'm opening. I always have to hit command plus, command minus to get it displaying right.

I'm working in VSX4. I've created a couple of small movies which I want to compile onto a single dvd. The video files from both movies combined only amount to about 3.2 GB, yet when I try to "share" and make the dvd with both of my vsp files, it adds up to be a total of over 7 GB. Is it normal to have this much "inflation" on a project? I've not done anything special as far as graphics or fancy menus or even chapter markers. It's just a handful of clips with the "crossfade" transition applied. And that's it.

When importing .svg files into draw and illustrator the size of the objects is different. The svg files have been created with a dpi=72. Illustrator reads the file at that dpi so objects are the correct size. Draw appears to read the files with a dpi=96 which scales the objects down to 3/4 actual size.
Any SVG attribute that can set the dpi so that both programs import correctly Or is there a way to tell Draw to use a dpi=72?

If I open a JPEG file of say 75kb, make some modifications and save at max. resolution (to avoid as much degradation as possible) it ends up 225kb. Question how would I retain the original 75kb? Why would max. add kb if there are only 75kb to begin with? I would assume the max. would leave it as close to the original as possible.

merging mesh and group from other file (i do this in every new project) i see file size growing (120MB to 700 Mb for example!!)Now, if i try to "save selected" some object,
- from the scene1 in which i've merged object2
or
- from the scene2 that i have merged in scene1
the file saved have the same big size, and if i delete from scene 1, merged object and resave it, the filesize is just a bit less of 700..

In Lightroom 3.6 when I click on a thumbnail to enlarge it to "fit" the page it sometimes comes in very small (432x288) even though the pixels are set to 1440 in catalog settings, and I cannot seem to enlarge the image.

I have noticed an inconsistancy in Photoshop with the font size. Today I created three new files, all three were 800 x 600 at 300dpi. I did my work on the images and then added titles to all three. My titles were 10pt font, Times New Roman, all with the same wording. Nothing special at all. In two of the files the font looks the same, in the third one the font is smaller even though it says it is 10pt. I saved them out as pngs and the font is noticably smaller on the one than it is on the other two. I have noticed this issue several times before but did not take the time to research. I have found nothing on this issues. I know it is not a system issues because I have seen this on different machines that I use and my coworkers have seen the same issue. It is not a version issue as it happens in CS6, CS4, and even earllier versions. It is also not limited to 10pt font, that is just what I was using in this instance. It has happened with many other sizes. I am currently using CS6 off the cloud, but I also have CS4 and the same thing happens there. The issue also appears in the CS version (yes we still have stuff that old).
My PC is an Alienware M15x Windows 7 64bit

I recently upgraded from CS6 to CC. When I open a psd file, it opens at 100%, but the window is small with scroll bars. I have plenty of screen real estate, so that's not the problem. I have looked everywhere and can't find how to make the default 100% showing the entire image.

I am using cs6 on a macbook pro with retina (dunno if that matters).
i noticed a while ago that the sizes of my documents in photoshop are smaller than normal. Im not sure if this is a resolution issue, but in illustrator, indesign, after effects everything looks normal sized. I am trying to create a thumbnail in ps that is 310x225px. When I place the psd in illustrator it becomes 74.4x54px. Creating a new document in ps with both resolitions 72 and 300 result in the same size artboard. I'm not sure if this is something simple I am overlooking, but I don't want to have pixelated thumbnails in my mockup. There must be something I can change to make photoshop create normally sized images.

I realise there are pros and cons to this question and the temptation is to opt for the highest quality, but the file sizes are huge. So, my camera files will be mainly 1080 files at 30fps, what will be the best file type/size to save files for future use. I don't really mind the rendering time and space isn't a huge problem, but the variety of file types is bewildering. Most clips will find their way to DVD but I don't want to reduce resolution as they might be used at a later date for Blu-Ray.

Recently, I am working with illustrator CS6.
After inserting quite a lot of linked images (without embedding), the file size becomes much larger, up too nearly 400MB.
I saved without pfd compatible function already, but the file size is sill very large. I did not face the same problem working with CS5 before, is that a bug for CS6?

My question is, isn’t Illustrator supposed to use and save just one instance of an embedded image regardless of how many times it i used in an document?
A senario: If I import and embed an image and I save the document I get a pretty small files size. But when I copy this image internally in the document, say that I copy the image 10 times, I get ten times the file size. Is it supposed to do that? Why doesn't it just save the image one time?
