problem with opening heavy file

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum, I signed up a few months ago and downloaded some very useful lisp.

I have a huge problem with an equally huge thesis file.

It's a 2d good 216 mb, you got 216 mb. is a complete cartography of Sicily, from Mexican to taormina, including mountain areas. the file is divided into blocks, for some parts, for others not, as I think it was joined by xrefs previously created by the sitr of the Sicilian region.

Now I can't find single files and unfortunately I need the whole area. the file has many layers divided by categories

a001,002,003...ecc (fasting)
....

b001, 002, 003 (ecc)

there are about ten subcategories per letter coming to letter v.
By eliminating the sampling (V) I remain all the others.

Now, perhaps because of my excessive laziness, or my excessive anxiety of having to reopen this cursed file, I would not want to erase these layers because I already find myself a complete analysis that I should not do on site, and, being a thesis in transport and infrastructure, as well as urban regeneration (two arguments therefore) I should not seek ruins, and/or particular types of buildings and/or infrastructure because already reported. I should not look for aqueducts, pipelines, etc., because they are all properly divided.

but we are there, the file weighs 200mega, autocad crashes and I can't do anything.

I tell you what I tried to do but I messed up even more so I came back to the original unit version:

- I had divided the xref file but this involves a double problem: the hundreds of layers that make up the single file "replicate" in the xrefs and so if I have to intervene on the analysis of the railway, I have to change every time all the xrefs that contain it, and this is true for any analysis.

if I have to turn off the level curves and leave visible the edited I have to do it for every xref.
this in addition to slowing down the job does not even make it easy in the management because I have to keep too many layers under controlal from 100 you pass to 1000, and ok, elbow oil, but I feel really lost.


I also tried with _purge but the whole file is not deleteable.
useless tell you that trying to copy and paste the file into a new window is impossible, even with 16gb of ram, 1.5gb of video card and an i7 processor autocad crashes irremediably and crashes.

I apologize if I have wrong section, and I already know that there are similar threads, I have already read them and tried every indication already described.
I need a magician, please help me. It's been since October that I've been keeping every kind of road. in the initial works I got away with graphics via google earth. But now I need a .dwg where he can start making sections, and so on.

that some holy soul gives me a hand because I really tried them all.
 
by autocad launched vacuum by open (open).
next to the button open there is a dart (a pop) and partial opening selections
will let you select the layers to open.
try so and maybe eliminate the heaviest things (like the level curves)

save it in a new file for example table without level curves.dwg
then open it again partial and select another group and save it in a new file etc.

Try, maybe you can bypass the problem.
 
I tried to do as you say by paradox that it might look like the file saving it weighs more from 216 to 220 mb. I also need the level curves in such a job.

rivers
level curves
roads and infrastructure
built

are the layers I will have to use more.

I really don't know how to.. .
 
What graphics card do you have? I changed gpu for the 3d model of the thesis, but he couldn't. Perhaps it is also limited ram.
 
make a copy of bakup and then begin to delete the various things to understand what mainly weighs the files.
are the layers?, are the scales annotative?, are the types of line?, are the sheets with dozens of windows?, are the blocks? and so on.
I only understand what the file weights you can look for a strategy, otherwise it is to shoot blind hoping to reset the snare; and if there is no more than one possibility you minimize
 
for enri: I have a hd graphics 4000 with 1536 mb, 16 gb ram kingston hyperx from 1600 mhz.


for massivonweizen: I can delete objects, but not layers, trying with _purge all the file is practically dependent on external blocks and/or nested blocks.
The heaviness I have tried various rescues, I think it is due, to the eye, and the huge number of lines that make up the file. we are talking about 20 cartography union pictures composed of thousands of level curves (obviously broken).
If I leave only a few main roads and the railway remains light, then I think the heaviness is due to the thousands of lines. Let's talk about a land of tens of km2. I believe these files were made in qgis and then reported in cad. and I also tried to do the reverse process but the file is so heavy now that qgis does not want to know. =(and I am not a great user)

However I will try to find the cracked step by step... (but I see it hard, perhaps impossible)
 
Have you tried banally to use draftsight or nanocad? I got away with 100mb layout. then the two cads are free. then there are cad settings that can improve your life.
 
drafsight doesn't even open it easily, worse than autocad.
What settings? You're all being very kind. Thank you.
Moreover: I have tried to open the file on drafsight, there is much more, but we are always there: i.e. it does not eliminate the layers because referentiati (I think it intends to depend on other blocks) and I reconnect to what I said later.

I tried to do the following. I used the bedit command (block edit) and there are a whole series of blocks (centinaia of blocks), which correspond to retini and other various objects. I tried to move an incriminated object to a layer that I created, because it tells me: "the layer cannot be eliminated due to objects placed within nested blocks try to move the object to new layer and repeat operation". I did exactly this, but again it tells me that the layer I create cannot be eliminated therefore the "properties" of the block migrate together with the object.

Are you working on a laptop? with that card I believe, it is an integrated! the two aspects are added, the objective heaviness of the file and the performance of the hardware. just to give you a measure, your gpu is equivalent to a nvidia gt 330m. your generic benchmark is 455, that of a gtx 1070 desktop 11109! changes pc, then reasons on the file.

by curiosity that i7 you have in your laptop? the video card is too risicata....time ago to open technical drawings 2d I don't remember the format (jpeg, tif,...) I crashed the notebook....era an i3 with integrated vga....while the same file on the home pc with i7 3.8-4.2ghz and dedicated vga flies
 
Okay, so I'd need a fix, and if I didn't handle it like I did? ^
I don't remember that i7 ho, that of macbook 2012, the last unibody. I boosted it with a hardisk owc mercury that are skewers, and a hardisk sata 750gb for storage not to load the ssd. Also obviously for autocad I have the windows partition. the problem is to find a fixed windows pc that I think are much better for using vector programs such as autocad, revit etc.
 
if you have budget issues rent it.
If not you take an assembly with a medium cpu, maybe amd rizen, which are fast and cost little, and you put a nice 1070. from what tauruss says, I think the card is the problem.
 
I turn you a minimum configuration to be able to work decently I chose gtx 1060 because 1070 is even more expensive.
if you need some other info ask...as cpu in bricknativa there would be the i3 8350k which is a quad core that goes to 4ghz and could be a good compromise and costs about €160.... for the ssd you could recycle your mercury and save another 200€.
i5-8600k €220
tuf z370-pro gaming €160
32gb ddr4 2600mhz €280
samsung 960 evo 500gb €210
asus gtx 1060 6gb €340
power supply about €130
houses around €100
heatsink €100

The 6 gb gtx I think is a 100 euro more now. causes increases due to lack of graphics cards.

have increased all the graphics cards in recent months, causing the mining of cryptocurrencies that are making inception of graphics cards on the market, causing a shortage for normal buyers, deficiency on which they are speculating!
 
You guys have all been really, really, precious. Meanwhile I give you the good news that turning off the odds and some bullshit the file works decently even on macbook pro.

Consider that this problem I will meet only on frame tables. Then I will zoom. and to make use of cloudrendering. However both your support was commendable and you also opened my eyes on where I have to spend money. and leave apple for daily management. but invest something more on instead a work station that turns on windows. Since 2006, I haven't used it actively and I disregard the hardware offered especially in the pc-fixed sector.

It will mean I have to put good wool on the forex and stand on the piece.

I kindly ask the mods not to close the thread in case you should present in the future some problem.

Thank you all! Thank you very much. without your constant answers I wouldn't have found the solutions, which are not what we hoped for here, but I can work on it.
 
if that's why you can safely take a regenerated mac pro 2012 and in guarantee, mono or dual xeon to six cores, and put on the nvidia you want of last generation, ssd and anything else and spend even less than 1500 euros, and continue to work on os x with autocad, or other.

ps- but when will this m. from mining end?
