I exported an autocad file of a sheet of my project and the file was over 60 MB.  The other exported sheets were under 1 MB.  Can anyone explain why the one file is coming out so huge.

There is very little that we can do without knowing more about your project.   CAD files is your probable problem.

What is the sheet in question?  What kind of views?  Image files?

Does it have nested elements like details or detail components that have nested CAD files?

I exported a sheet with 3D and 2D views on the sheet.  I took the 3D views off of the sheet and exported and the file size was reduced to under 1 MB.  I solveed my own problem but I appreciate your help.

When you export a 3D view, you are exporting the whole model in 3D.   Thus you had multiple models.
