    File Size Problem Autocad LT2002 (long)

    Carl, Unfortunately the program to which you refer requires the user to have added on a "lisp enabler" in order to run cdgpurge. Software that includes a lisp enabler is cost prohibitive ($500 - $700). Thanks anyway. And if anyone knows of a lisp enabler that doesn't cost as much as the...

    File Size Problem Autocad LT2002 (long)

    Hello, So here's the problem - I have a file (any file that I've created and worked in) that is, let's say 1.4 megs and has enough stuff (objects, layouts, etc.) to justify that file size. When I erase everything out of that drawing so that all I'm left with is Layer 0 and Defpoints with no...
