Hi all

Does this group cover lisp questions relating to AutoCad?
Specifically I would be interested to know if anyone has code to "scan" a 
drawing (or can give me some pointers) to find the file size attributable to 
each entity.
We are struggling with file bloating and need to identify where the bulges 
are coming from.

TIA

You'll probably get better help in "comp.cad.autocad" or "alt.cad.autocad".

2D or 3D?

Sketched lines (not sketch mode) with silly small segements, polylines
and blocks ware main culprits in older versions but I moved job to
CADDS5 when r15 came out and now use NX.

The first places to check, depending on AutoCAD version, are layer 
filters, registered applications and scale lists.

The best place for AutoLISP -specific questions is probably the newsgroup

   autodesk.autocad.customization

- I'm not sure whether this is distributed on general news servers, but
you can get it from the discussion.autodesk.com server.
Also readable by a web browser at
