    is there a way for AutoCAD to do this?

    I have 2 drawing, 2 different computers, same name.
    one has 2000 kb one has 300 kb.

    For the life of me I can't find a difference.

    Thanks,
    jojo

    There's an app which I have never used called Comparedwg @
    http://www.furix.com/products/compare/index.htm

    You could be seeing file sizes relating to the amount of invisible stuff in
    the file. Try purging both, and don't forget to delete those pesky Named
    Layer States. Search for a macro or lisp to delete them quickly if they turn
    out to be the problem.

    Check layer filters. delete any unused filters. Depending on version of
    acad you may have to delete them one at a time. Resave drawing. Compare
    size after removing. Also are they saved in same version of acad?
