Has anyone else notice an increase in their file size when saving a drawing in SW2021?

I've noticed many drawings that were saved in earlier versions that are usually between 5,000 -10,000 KB are now 50,000 -80,000 KB after I make slight changes. It also takes longer for the save/open process of the drawings. If I continue at this rate my IT department will not be happy.

  • I've updated and verified my video card driver
  • I've unchecked: system options/performance/Enhanced graphics performance
  • I've noticed at least one drawing file that is now corrupt
  • I have yet to try a clean install of SW
  • Co-worker is experiencing the same issue
