This is why I've always thought it's a good idea to save your AutoCAD DXF file *after* you've exploded all the blocks in the drawing. It gives some idea of the complexity of the drawing. Far too often, a drawing passes from engineer to engineer, from client to 3D artist, and no one has a clear idea of what's in the file, in terms of blocks, entities, etc. If you tell the client to explode everything, and it turns into a 30 meg DXF, then they'll have some notion of how difficult it will be to animate.
