: What software / hardware is necessary to edit SVGs ~40Mb in size with thousands of visual elements? I need to edit some building plans received from a customer. Namely, removing a large number
I need to edit some building plans received from a customer. Namely, removing a large number of extraneous visual elements so that they can be used in a web application.
Myself and colleagues have tried using various combinations of hardware and software to try and edit the SVGs but all of them result in the machine becoming impossibly slow to use. Some of the things we have tried:
Ubuntu, Inkscape, 16Gb RAM, Quad-core I5
Windows, Inkscape
Windows, Adobe Illustrator
We're tearing our hair out wondering what manner of machine was used to create these SVGs in the first place. Presumably some souped-up Macbook.

Building plans are generally produced using CAD software, and the issue you are having might be that the CAD software isn't very good at outputting SVGs efficiently. So I think the issue here has little to do the machine used to create it, and its therefore more of a software issue. This obviously doesn't solve your problem.
It might be better to see if you can get the plans in their original CAD format and use the software that made it to edit it, and perhaps output it in a format suitable for the web. Clearly a 40mb SVG is not what you really want.
