Hello,

Is it possible to stop the creation of the file header in the export for objects that are hide and will not be exported?
I exported a drawing with one big XREF. After export to DWG the drawing is 50MB (XREF is hide, no export). After load in Intellicad and save only 20MB. If I had no Intellicad I was not able to reduce the size.
So the only way is to create a new drawing an copy and paste it.
Annoying.
Maybe a option in the export dialogue?

Are you exporting "All Layers" or only "On Layers"?
What do you have checked under XRefs? I usually have Ignore checked if I do not want them exported.

Hello Roger,

Only "On Layers" and "Ignore XREF"
I had the same problems with imported IFC elements.

So the DWG header will get information about the linked XREF ad it will be also exported.
