SW Drawing views still make big files?

    Been doodling with SW v2003. In this older version, it seems for every
    view you add to a drawing file, the full weight of the model (in file
    size) is added to the drawing. Example a drawing with 1 or 2 views is
    say 2mgs, add 4 more views, the file gets substancially bigger. Is this
    no longer in the newest versions?

    there have been 3 releases and one pending release since. Take your
    substantially larger file and save it as a new file. This in many
    cases can conciderably down size the file. You could also run
    echosqueeze on it to remove shadowing that is done in all MS office and
    SolidWorks Files it is just more apparent in SolidWorks because of the
    amount of data involved.
