AU Day 2

December 4, 2008

Ditch excess RegApps & Speed Up Your Drawings

October 3, 2008

So you have this drawing, and despite clearing our your Annotative Scale List, running the PURGE command, even clearing out your layer filters the gosh darn drawing is still slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter.  And even after all of that, your drawing is still 1 MB in size – what [...]
