Drawing file size-need performance tips

What makes the drawing file size so large in SW. I have an assembly
that is about 7mb and a 4 sheet drawing that is 27mb without much
dimensioning, just standard views and a few sections. Moving views is
extreamly slow. I am on 2004
sp2.1, win2k,Nvidia Quadro-4-980XGL card, 2.8 ghz-p4 with 2 gig ram.

 

Also try adjusting your Image Quality settings this will affect your
performance. FYI the more sheets you get the slower things will be. SW
hasn't quite gotten the multiple sheet drawing thing down yet. =(

(BTW I have a model of a casting, nothing too special like an engine or
anything, relatively simple but It is on 3 sheets with a bunch of section
cuts and man it got bogged down. Though recently I did a small assembly
with just tubing and sheetmetal and had 5 sheets no sections and it didn't
seem to do too bad.)

 

Try ecosqueeze from ecocom.com. If yo never used it you'll see a good file
size reduction. Same as unfrag from microsoft.
