AutoCad :: Significantly Compress A DWG?
Jun 6, 2012
I'm a mechanical engineer with a lot of experience working with SolidWorks, but no experience with AutoCAD. My boss has asked me to take a 44MB .DWG and compress it to under 15MB so that it can be viewed on his iPad to show to clients (using the AutoCAD WS which is limited to opening files smaller than 15MB). I spent hours doing this several weeks ago and was just barely able to get it down to the required size. However, I was never able to repeat the process and to be honest, I'm not entirely sure how I did it. Now I have to do it again for a different file and am struggling to do so.
Since the file is just going to be quickly shown to clients it does not need to have all 400 layers or any other kind of accompanying details. Hell I could merge all the layers together if that would reduce the file size and I knew how to do that. I'm not at my work computer right now, but I think by clicking options under save and removing all proxy images (or something like that) I was able to reduce the file size to around17MB. I've purged the file as well but that only removed a few KB.

My autocad 2012 installation runs slower when I have the network cable plugged in. This is very obvious when I run lisp commands.
I have a standalone installation with a drawing on a local drive, also SP1 is installed.

I'm a bit new to the concepts of point labels in C3D; I browsed around for a bit for a solution and haven't been successful. I'm having troubles with my point label styles in Paperspace - they appear about 25x smaller than in model space, but both are the same scale.
This is my label style setup:
This is how it appears in modelspace:
This is my viewport settings and how it appears in paperspace (zoomed in):
The text height in MS is 2mm, and approx 0.078mm in PS.

I took some wedding photos recently and had the opportunity to see them on a Mac, after doing all my post processing on my PC, with what I thought was decently calibrated monitors (Huey Pro), Color Space ProPhoto RGB and 16 bits for Lightroom 5. For Photoshop CS6 I have sRGB for a Working Space (this was a surprise because I thought it was set to ProPhoto RGB). The edits I did on the wedding photos however were all done in Lightroom.
I am not wanting this to become a PC versus Mac arguement but wonder if it's possible to replicate the image quality one sees on a Mac versus a PC? The difference was so great, I was a walking advertisment to go out and buy a Mac!
I did not print a copy of the shot but I would be very interested in printing off a copy from my PC and then printing the same on the Mac, fully realizing that the printers are different but again, I have a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 on my PC the printer on the Mac is an HP all in one but I am interested if there is any difference. I would hope the output on my Canon would be better than on the HP.

I made an artboard of 1500 x 1500 pixels with some type in it, the type was converted to outline. Then i descreased the size of the artboard to 150 x 150 pixels and the type (outline) became deformed, So I had to use Illustrator CS6 to do it. I decreased the size of the artboard and the path kept its orginal shape.

I made a PNG logo transparent, and when I go to save the new transparent logo in PNG format, the quality has dropped significantly from the original. I have done nothing other than delete the background of the logo, why is this happening in a lossless format? What can I do to fix this or increase the quality of the transparent logo?

A while back I figured out how to put a few characters before and after several lines of code in iLogic to make it compress to one line or expand to its full size inside the code editor. I belive this is a fairly common VBA command, but I can't figure out how to do it again.

I decided to use Data Link Tables for my Excel sheet instead of OLELinks. The appearance is far sharper, and I am also pleased there is no background color transfered. What IS the problem is when I update the table, its goes from 12" Wide by 12" Tall table @ 7/16" Text W/O borders back to 3" Wide by 10" Tall with varying text size to fit and gains back all borders except diagonals (of which none are present on the Excel file).
So, any way to default the format when I refresh so that it holds each cell at the 6"X1" dimensions with no border.
With that, If there is a way to have a stencil for making the range links with Excel, that would be useful. I use the exact same 4 or 6 ranges (2 formats) in every dwg.

I just want to keep a part of my image (in that case the bird). Then I cut that part, erase the part of the picture I don't need, and I stick the part with the bird. To finish, I resize the frame so it is adjusted to the part I want to keep (the bird). (Hem... I suppose there is a more easy way to do all that, but I don't know it.
Here is the question : how can I save that part of my original picture WITHOUT compressing it again? I don't want to lose any quality of the previewsly picture ; since I just want to save a part, is this possible?

Many times I want to upload photos of myself to websites as profile photos or for other professional reasons. I have some examples but they're too large. Most of these sites ask for photos no larger than 120x100 or 240x260. When I resize my photos smaller, they appear very blurry and pixel.
What's a way around that so I can meet the compression requirements of these sites without compromising the integrity of the photo?

I have a ton of TGAs that could use RLE. I was looking for a batch conversion option in the GIMP file menu that I could use to convert uncompressed TGA's to compressed TGA's, but I couldn't find one. How would I batch compress TGA's then?

I set up a text box, for say the word "Tractor". Let's say that with the font I select, the width of the text box is 2 inches. I want to be able to replace the text, with say the phrase "Green Tractor" and I want the text to automatically compress in width to be no longer than the original 2 inches and I want the text height to be the same as the first.
I know I can select the text box handle and re-size manually but I am entering many fields for each print job and I need it to do this automatically. Also if I entered the word "toy", I would not want the word to stretch to fill the 2 inches but retain standard proportions.
My Engrave Lab program does this on our engraver and I am basically trying to do the same function in Corel for our sublimation printing operation.

Is it possible to compress a line or object drawn on top of another line or object to create one object?
I import my AutoCAD 2011 drawings into a CNC however the software isn't happy if a line is drawn on top of another line. If this happens it is not obvious simply by looking at the drawing and I have to go through the drawing checking each and every line which can be quite time consuming.

Why when making PDF out of DWG, many lines comes out vague?
It can be part of a line/block/text.
It shows only on the screen and not on paper in case I print it.

I run ACAD LT 2010 on a Windows XP machine and also a Vista Laptop. I have tried to print the same drawing on both machines using the DWG to PDF facility with in AutoCAD. The drawing is a third party drawing in as much as I didn't draw it although it is an authentic ACAD DWG.
I get the same message but referring to different fonts - the message reads on the Vista machine:
"Cannot find or create the font "ArialMT". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
On the Windows XP machine it reads:
"Cannot find or create the font "Tahoma". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
The message seems to be generated by Adobe Reader.
