Greetings,

I am looking for a large DWG file, preferable ~10MB, to test a WAN optimization solution and compare the performace of AutoCad08 AutoCad04.

Could not find anything larger than 2.5MB inside the catalogue.
Any pointer to file / help / advise is greatly appretiated, as well as if you have any experience with WAN optimization solutions (the files is stored on the remote server, and accessed from the branch, over Wide Area Network)

Thanks a lot
Alon

There is a size limit for the Catalog blocks so you won't find larger files there.

But you can take any large DWG file and ARRAY its contents (eg. 10x10) to make the file bigger.

Hey Vladimir,
thanks a lot for the prompt response!
Exactly what I needed!

Next question if I may, the ISP (Incremental Save Percentage) by default is set to 50% both in AC04 and AC08.

Is this the recommended value or there could be some recommendations where to set this parameter to other value? Why?

Thanks a lot,
Alon
