Venkat Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hi Sometimes Ironcad drawing file takes too much size. its almost as same as 3d model size. Does someone knows the reason for this. Please help me out. Thanks, Venkat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSIMMONS Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I think it would depend on the size of the model and what type of views you drop so it's hard to tell without an example drawing. -Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Shaded views and Section views can make the drawing large. Section views require use to keep another body to represent the section. Shaded views have to load the raster images. Other than that, others that may cause it are configurations or alternate view types (making use of configurations). Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hi Venkat, These are VERY large files that you are working with. 1. Does your large Scene file contain all of your parts as a single file? That is, without any externally linked part files. 2. Does your large Drawing file contain many Sheets documenting all of the parts within the Scene file? Also, how many Sheets are in your drawing?

Malcolm Keep in mind that his comma is in a different place due to the format. The drawings are not 7 Gig, but rather under one gig. They are still very large though.

Venkat Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hi all Thanks for your responses. The drawing is only a small part of the whole assembly model. But it takes the same size as whole assembly. ~Venkat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSIMMONS Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 It looks like it ticks all the boxes mentioned by Cary earlier. Shaded views, Views made from multiple configurations, etc. I am still a bit surprised by how large the file is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Is there any chance you can share the files with support@ironcad.com? We can take a look at the drawing and recommend options to improve the overall size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venkat Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hi I am sorry Cary. I can't share this particular file with anyone. But if this problem exists in other files I will share with you. ~Venkat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
