Also, if you have the wall represented different in a few separate views e. Reflected ceiling , then you'll have another whole set of lines to represent those. In the case of the Wall object in ADT, its going to take up the same space no matter how many views you have of it or how complex the graphics are. And not to be too picky, but you are also showing the DXF representation which isn't representative of what gets written to a DWG or what is in memory.

There are several places in your example where the DXF file would have a bunch of descriptive text e. In terms of file size, the general rule is that ADT files have an initial overhead for things like Style definitions and the Display System , but that as the files grow in content meaning you get some realistic entities in there , that initial overhead will begin to pay for itself.

If you just want a single-line schematic drawing, then obviously, using Wall objects is a bit of an overkill. I'm not saying that you don't have a problem, and we can try to figure out what it is.

I'm just saying that I doubt the comparison between what a Wall object and Line entity write to DXF is the root of it. Jim Awe Autodesk, Inc. Message 15 of Are you using Autodesk Building Systems? You should be able to just change the current display configuration to present the architectural objects as a screened background.

Message 16 of Thanks Chris, I'll try that. It sounds good and I wasn't aware of it. We use vanilla AutoCAD with object enabler. Message 17 of Thanks Jim, You're right about the number of lines in a wall, however, there is still the overhead of loading multiple ARX's to decipher the complex wall, window, door objects, etc You're the expert and certainly not I as to the actual overhead in system RAM.

Maybe the sluggishness we experience comes from just having too many files open at a time. Many of us out here working as consultants still use vanilla AutoCAD with some in-house customization. Actually what I'm looking for is a "Wish List" item. I would like to easily explode and then flatten ADT objects to 2D. Thanks again for your response. Message 18 of Command: setxrefconfig Select an external reference: Override display configuration of selected xref?

Plan 5. Plan 6. Plot 7. Reflected 9. Standard Work You should be able to see and plot tables and such as proxies though. Message 3 of 5. My tables do not show up at all in Is there some kind of setting to allow this to appear as a proxy?

Message 4 of 5. Message 5 of 5. I'm glad you've got it working now. Post Reply. See the security advisory on the Autodesk Trust Center for more information. AutoCAD Forum. Turn on suggestions.
