Hey, folks:
Running AutoCAD Architecture 2013. I received an AutoCAD file from a consultant which had been done up quite extensively with AEC modeling tools. It's 20 MB in size and awkward to manipulate. I've gone so far as to delete and purge all objects from the file and still end up with 5 MB of something. There are a lot of anonymous blocks and odd linetypes which I don't find any reference to but cannot purge.
Looking at those linetypes, there are references to what I presume are xrefs which have come and gone under previous users. At this time there are no xrefs in the file. My guess is that over the years the file has built up a lot of clutter and that is what is slowing down the drawing. Any recommendations for how to lighten the load?
Thanks,
Jim Solon
