Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit
Intel i7 3.5GHz
16GB Ram
AutoCAD 2013
I am saving to a local drive
The file when saved to a dxf ends up being 378,165kb, and saves quickly and easily. When saved in dwg format, it is only 115,582kb and AutoCAD sits "not responding" for way too long.
I have Kaspersky antivirus installed, and, to no avail, disabled that to see if maybe it was causing an issue. I am stumped.
I would be happy to upload the file to an ftp site if anyone is interested in seeing if it does the same for you.
