I have a problem with a file size 0.16 Mb becoming 16 Mb when inserting a .jpg file inside it for drawing approx. 30 lines and arcs.When it delete the image to lower the size of the file it stays at 16 Mb.I have done SCALELISTDELALL, PURGE and it doesn't change ( and I can't upload it here because of the size ).

Did you try to WBlock out the contents (AutoCAD objects) to a new drawing file?Upload the drawing to a file sharing website like Dropbox and post a link to it here.

Yes, John I did a WBLOCK command to take the things out to a new file with the same size 16 Mb.I will try and make a block and take it out with the AutoCAD design Center ( ctrl+2 ) but I'm afraid that it will be the same as copy/paste to a new file that I have already tested.AutoCAD Design Center works the same and now I have done a new copy file of it, erased everything including all the layouts, purged and it's still of the same size ( me NOT happy ).

I guess you aren't going to follow the second piece of advice I gave you.I can't attempt to fix the problem for you without a copy of the actual .DWG file.

Sorry John, I'm here at work and not totally free to send .dwg everywhere, still don't know how I can yet send files here on the site.
But I'm still interested in reworking my file but not  just right now.philippe JOSEPH2017-09-27 08:17:51

If that works for you fine.  Good luck.
