WBlock out the portions of the drawing you want to keep. Third and last time. Did you check to see how many linetypes were loaded? Do any of them have the letters DGN somewhere in the name?

Hello Rain14, A few months ago, I've had the same problem. A new empty drawing, was already 7mb big. I have found an Autocad Hotfix. With this file you need to overwrite 2 files in your Autocad map. After doing this, you can open your big drawing in Autocad. If you use the command "dgnlspurge", Autocad shall delete all the invisible linetypes. The size of the empty drawing of mine wasn't 7mb anymore but 67kb!! I've add the hotfix file included the readme to this post

The linetypes aren't invisible. They are listed in the LTYPE dialog box.

It would take you about 5 seconds to check linetypes like I asked (three times). I don't know why you refuse to do so. My participation in this thread is done. Good luck solving your problem.
