f700es Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Try the "overkill" command 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) The pdf convert is like raster to vector it will make thousands of little tiny lines for stuff like text where it is not saved as text in the pdf. Line work not quite square will be lots of little segments. Reduce your pdf area remake a pdf, zoom in etc to remove as much as possible of stuff you don't want. May take a couple of go's. Sometimes trace over top of pdf is quicker, same problem with raster. Edited January 29, 2020 by BIGAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajmal Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (defun c:pua () (dictremove (namedobjdict) "ACAD_DGNLINESTYLECOMP") (command "-purge" "all" "" "n") (command "-purge" "r" "" "n") (command "qsave") ) try this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 While cool lisp but why not just run the purge command without running a lisp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What program did you use to convert the pdf? What is the dwg file size after you converted the pdf? I agree with BIGAL. The problem is probably the sheer number of individual line segments created by the pdf conversion. A better approach would be to attach the pdf and then trace over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
