  1. Hello,

     

    I wanted to see if there are any advantages when starting a newer software to start from scratch with some of my template files.  I was wondering if the transfer over several versions of over the years can cause any un wanted "junk" in the file.  I will give an example.

     

    I have a template I use that has my sheet layers set up with title blocks and all the common sheets I will use for most drawings.  I also have lighting labels set up with a few lighting fixtures symbols, dimensions settings, attribute defaults and some scripts.  To transfer to new software I just open a drawing up in 2017 and save it as a regular file.  Then I would open it in 2018 and save it as template.   I have done it this way for several years.   Note there are very minimal textures and symbols this drawing.  Only what I need to keep the Label Legends correct.  I bring all other symbols in from another resource when drawing.

     

    The reason I bring this up is that I have had some files that can get pretty slow and do not have a lot of detailed geometry in them.   Thought I would toss it out there and see if I should just make that file from scratch to clean up everything or.......
