I spend a fair amount of time cleaning out architectural and structural drawings so the links arn't so large.
A utility that does the following for you would be amazing ( as this is what I have to do for each file currently)
Delete sheets
Delete schedules
Delete legends
Remove all linked files, Cad files etc
Option to delete all views(sometime I use linked views)
Purge the model
export navisworks .NWC file to a desired directory
Save the link as a Central file with no backups.
Im on a project that all the linked files are over 2GB when I get them. after I spend 3 hours doing the above I can get the files down to a total of about 800MB.
Im doing excatly the same thing each time I receive a new model, if this could be streamlined so its run in the background or on a seperate computer/while im at lunch, that would be splendous.
