saving as r14

[John Doe]

I have 2 problems I need help with.
I am using Acad 2002 and when doing a save as to an R14 dwg format,
the save takes FOREVER! most of the time it appears as if my pc has
locked up, but if I wait 4 or 5 minutes it will finally save.
The other issues is that some of my files show incredibly large file sizes.
If I erase/all and purge/all so that nothing is visable on the drawing,
I am still getting file sizes of 1.5 to 2 megs.

I am using WinXP on a Windows 2000 server network but the
problems happen when everything is copied local as well.

Thanks,

Just because nothing is visible doesn't mean the drawing
contains nothing.

How many layers/styles/blocks/saved layer states are there in the file?
