I need some assistance... I'm trying to email a rather large dwg to someone,
and even though I've zipped it it's still too large.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do???
TIA!!!
P.S. The drawing has contours, which explains the rather large size... and
no, there's nothing I can do to simplify the drawing in order to reduce the
file size
You could get WinRar. It will allow you to create split compressed files
of just about any size you want. You'd just need to make sure the person
at the other end also has it.

size... and
use Winzip to zip the file onto diskettes in the A: drive. As each
diskette fills up(1.4 mega), winzip prompts you to remove it and insert
a new diskette.Each diskette will contain one file--but each file name
is identical.
Then email each diskette as an attachment, each in a ITS OWN email
message.Tell the recipient to download each file onto a diskette,( not
the hard disk, because the identical filenames would overwrite the
previous one).Then he can run Winzip to unzip the diskettes.

doesnt need "it"
winrar can create self-extracting files
(the first file ends up being an exe)

Make each individual layer into a separate Wblock with insertions at 0,0,0
Email each, zipped.
Have the CADilliterate insert each one back into whichever one they choose,
exploding
each after insertion.
Tell the CADilliterate to purge afterwards.
Complain to colleagues over beer after work.
why do you not try breaking it down to as meany blocks as you can as they
are smaller and they repeat at the same size so you can have a picture as a
block i think and then explode it
