    Hi there,

    I am doing network work for a property development firm that is
    bringing 2-3 designers in house to do work in AutoCAD. I am planning
    their new network infrastructure (and file server space), however I
    don't know the average file size of an AutoCAD drawing. Can someone
    give me a rough guestimate?

    Thanks!
    Evan

    File size can vary greatly, but I don't suppose it would be unreasonable
    to estimate 750Kb to 1Mb per drawing file.

    That's more in line with my practice. Each sheet is always well over 2M
    with typical 8-10 sheets (residential plans only).

    The OP said something about site development not buildings. I have
    several site development drawings (given to me by civil engineers) that
    are in the 1.0 - 1.5 Mb range. Remember, the OP asked for an "average"
    file size.

    Hi all,

    Thank you for each of your responses! I needed a basic, average range,
    which is what I got.

    Thank you again!
