      Hello,

      I was working with a rather large Layout file (136K) and decided to break it up into sections with the intent of assembling the final document by combining PDF files in Adobe. So, the way I did this was to open the master Layout file, "save as", and then delete the unwanted pages. This process was iterated several times, one for each file that I wanted to keep. Alas, now EACH of the new files is --- 136K! I'm obviously missing something and any help would be sincerely appreciated.

      Many thanks!

      Frank Borik

        OK, I figured this out. File->Document Set-up->References->Purge.

        Just needed to keep with it!

        Thanks!

          Good on you, Frank.

          Just as in SketchUp, you have to purge out the unused stuff once in awhile.
