dwg file size

Ben Wenzel May 18, 2011 11:12 AM

Since updating to 2011 versions my dwg file sizes have increased from average 40kb to 5-6MB. Is there a way I can decrease the file size so I can email my files without such large file sizes? Thanks,

May not be what you are looking for but have you tried zip file or rar file?

With every new version of SW the files get larger. Try www.yousendit.com for sending your files.
