I have 2 problems I need help with.
I am using Acad 2002 and when doing a save as to an R14 dwg format,
the save takes FOREVER! most of the time it appears as if my pc has
locked up, but if I wait 4 or 5 minutes it will finally save.
The other issues is that some of my files show incredibly large file sizes.
If I erase/all and purge/all so that nothing is visable on the drawing,
I am still getting file sizes of 1.5 to 2 megs.

I am using WinXP on a Windows 2000 server network but the
problems happen when everything is copied local as well.

Thanks,

Setting isavepercent to 0 and saving should reduce the size. It is 50% by
default. If possible you could wblock the contents to a new file to see the
size difference (be sure all relevant layers are on first!). Running an
audit against your files may be a good idea as well.
