Purpose: Speed up the DWG (FULL processing)

Note: Optimization, purge, DWG cleanup
Processing mode: DWGs are processed one by one (not all at once).

This process applies a heavy optimization to the DWG: removal of hidden elements,
flattening of 3D to 2D, cleaning of overly heavy hatches and deep purge.

⚠ Warning: this is a destructive process. It may remove non-visible elements, explode certain entities and remove 3D.
At the end, you MUST compare the result with the original DWG before sharing it.

  1. Important warning

    This process removes non-visible elements, explodes certain objects
    and removes 3D to obtain a lighter 2D drawing.

    Afterwards, you MUST verify the generated file and compare it
    to the original file.

    Warning about full and destructive processing of the DWG
    Heavy optimization: always validate the final result.

  2. Opening the DWG

    The software opens the DWG to be processed.

    Opening the DWG before full optimization
    Loading the source drawing.

  3. Reduction / removal of 3D

    3D elements are either converted into 2D equivalents or removed
    if considered unnecessary for the final reading.
    Objective: obtain a lighter 2D DWG that is much faster to handle.

    Conversion or removal of 3D entities to lighten the DWG
    Flattening 3D content to speed up display.

  4. Removal of non-visible elements

    Entities located on turned-off, frozen or hidden layers are removed.
    This eliminates what does not actually appear in the drawing but still increases file weight.

    Removal of elements on frozen / hidden layers
    Cleaning useless or hidden geometry.

  5. Lightening of heavy hatches

    Overly dense / exploded / display-costly hatches are simplified
    or cleaned to make the drawing smoother to navigate.

    Cleaning and simplification of heavy hatches
    Lightening excessively heavy hatched areas.

  6. Deep purge

    Extended purge: unused styles, blocks, layers, registers, orphan definitions, etc.
    The goal is to remove everything that clutters the DWG “for nothing.”

    Deep purge of unused DWG resources
    Complete purge to reduce file size.

  7. Saving to a new file

    The optimized DWG is saved under a NEW filename.
    The original is not overwritten: you keep a backup copy.

    Saving the optimized DWG under a new name
    Export under another name to preserve the original.

  8. Final check

    The generated optimized DWG is automatically reopened.
    You must visually check it and compare it to the original:
    geometry, critical hatched areas, symbols, important texts, etc.

    Opening the optimized DWG for visual control
    Mandatory visual validation before sending to a client.
