There are some steps needs to do;

·         Delete layer filter, on same cases, after DLF the file size was reduced to5% from its original size

·         Delete groups. Mainly the unnamed groups. Some add-on are heavy users of unnamed groups

·         Delete layer state managers

·         Detach unreferenced XREFs and IMAGES

Use the “overkill” command to reduce file size and clean up a drawing.

Use Audit, Purge, purge regappes, and make wblock.

Use of blocks for repeated instance of objects

 

Remove unused annotative scales from objects. To prevent applying unnecessary annotative scales to objects, make sure that ANNOALLVISIBLE is set to0 and ANNOAUTOSCALE is set to -4 these2 system variables are set per layout/model.
