How to understand objects (vectors and embedded images) size in ai file?

I have very large ai file and need to reduce the size. Is there any ways to understand size of each object (and group of objects) in ai file?

Even for embedded files (objects) I can't lookup size, it displays only for linked files, for embedded files all info table is empty.

    Murz,

    The embedded files become an integral part of the document.

    You may also see your other thread about reduction,

    I know, but try to find the way for understand size of each object. Eg, I have large group of vector objects, and want to determine how much size it use in my file? Is this possible?

    Murz,

    A crude way would be to see the file sizes with and (in a copy) without.

    Also see the suggestion in the other thread, it may be relevant here, too.
