5 Tips to make your CAD files faster

Is your CAD system lagging? Leverage BricsCAD Machine Intelligence to make your CAD faster and smarter, and speed up your workflow. There is a way to reduce dwg file size, without losing information, and without spending hours deleting, re-inserting, and manually tidying up your drawings.To get more news about cad tips and tricks, you can visit shine news official website.

1 Reduce dwg file size
So, here's the situation, you've just been given a .dwg file. It's huge. It's taking up all the space on your hard drive. It's too large to send via email. And when you open it, your computer comes to a screeching halt, now you're searching for a solution. The good news? You've come to the right place!
2 Blockify
Use Blockfiy to automatically detect and convert repeated geometry to Block Definitions.

One of the simplest ways of reducing file sizes is creating block definitions. Unfortunately, actively looking around a drawing and replacing the jumble of geometry with a block definition is slow and laborious. Not with Blockify!
3 Tidy it up
Sometimes a little housekeeping is in order to reduce your file size. BricsCAD brings you some terrific tools to clean up your drawings.

If you have a 3D model, there is a good chance you have redundant 2D geometry left from the creation of the model. Use the Structure panel to isolate and delete this geometry.
4 Convert to .dwg
Want to know why we love .dwg? Because it works of course! Sometimes all you need to do to a drawing is save it to .dwg and you can reduce the file size. I opened up a .stp file in BricsCAD. It was 16.3 MB and took BricsCAD 1:47 min to open it. I then saved as .dwg, I did NOTHING else, the file size was reduced to 5.57 MB, and took BricsCAD only 10 seconds to open! The best part? I lost no data!

5 Underlays
Sometimes large and complex underlays can slow down a drawing. Performance for PDF underlays in BricsCAD means an improved loading speed. When zooming the image is momentarily blurred, but you can still continue working!
