import heavy dwg

[fedemito]

hello to all, I ask some luminaire if you can help me:

I have to import dwg into solidworks. the problem is that once opened in sw10, they are of a hallucinating heaviness: the pc goes very slow and it is a rag work.the file is about 2 mb.

the same file opened in solidedge, instead, does not present all this heaviness. ( ok I understand that they are two different programs with different file management. Oh, man! ! )

Is there any way I don't know how to lighten the file?

(the dwg of origin has already been lightened, purged, overkilled and everything!)

Thank you all!

What does this dwg contain?

 

[fedemito]

practically my company is changing software.

you pass from solidedge 20 to solidworks 10.

to import the 2d chain is: if --> .dwg --> sw

the naked and raw dwg as it shoots if it is very slow. I then tried to explode blocks, put all the lines on one layer, purge.. but the result does not change.

I don't know what to do, the drawings are so unmanageable, I have extreme difficulty moving the lines. Let's make the rest!:frown:

My idea, for what can be worth is this. given for granted that the import dwg-sw2010 is heavy (unfortunately it is true), I think it is better to create the table from model 3d. In this way you will manage future changes. as you have noticed the imported dwgs are of very complicated manipulation and they are probably not even faithful to the original in some points (for example) as well as having no more sketch reports.
Ultimately it amounts to a dwg but you have to work on it. if this is true you probably do first to put the 3d model on the table.
an alternative to check with the dealer, is that there might be a table converter if at the table sw (often they build them specially but they should verify their validity and costs).
However I remain of the idea that the table should be generated by a 3d model, otherwise these parametric cads what we buy them to do?
Good job

actually if the archive of if you only need it in consultation maybe it's right geppetto and you can convert it in pdf, without banging more 'of time with the dwg.

Why did you change cad?

 

[fedemito]

the modifications of the 2d generated by itself are sporadic, so for old projects it still maintains this format. It is in fact that when there is the occasion of the change it "tents" to convert everything to sw. precisely for this reason I was looking for a quick way, without going from 3d to practice.
Unfortunately, however, the shortest way I realize is precisely that of 3d!

@geppetto: you are perfectly right, 3d and 2d are closely tied, no way to separate them.

@cacciatorino: the company, having been absorbed by a multinational, must "adapt" to the standard...here comes out sw (with all the problems that arise by changing an entire archive..a slaughter!)

iho if I have to change a table exported a lot, but much better autocad or at most (if you do not have it licensed) dwgeditor or in new draftsight (I still have to try it...). It makes no sense to export from itself and reimport in swx a dwg, you have a double loss of information, with the risk of having practically unusable boards, so that the mother's house tells.
I would make an archive (or multiple archives, depending on company standards, maybe one for exclusively internal use) containing for each design the original model, the model in step or other neutral format, a table pdf, the dwg and the swx design.
depending on the needs will be passed from the simple print of the pdf (magari editable with acrobat (non reader) regarding the carts), to a modification with autocad of the dxf to the reorganization with swx in the most complex cases.

It's a bit complicated, especially for archive and conversion management (but there are programs that do almost everything in batch), but if you have a pdm, if well configured, it will be much less traumatic.

The "intote" passage from one system to another is always a bloodbath. It's never as smooth as they want to sell it.

It will seem strange, but for software cad 3d is so (... and I would like to see..:biggrin.

however quoto oldwarper;
It is perfectly useless (and loss of time and resources) to have 2d tables in swx that are not related to anything (no 3d model).. When you go through dwg, you keep it that way. an edit/reader has all the cad.
