Enormous plot files?

    I am getting very large plot files, about 7000 KB when plotting certain
    files. The files are plotted in paper space with AC2004. I have plotted
    another file with the same title block and it was okay.
    I checked the Autodesk site and my TEXTFILL is 1 (default). Any ideas? I
    sent a file to customer-files NG.

    Thanks,
    D Davis

    I have found that irregular viewports are one culprit for slow/large plot
    files.

    Are you plotting a layout with a polygonal viewport?

    You might examine the block "PGAL Locations2".
    Deleting that block reduced the plot file size from 6+MB to 350K on my test.
    Just exploding it reduced the plot file size to 1.4MB
