I agree with Thomas (and Orion, I think - although from his post, I'm not sure he
looked at your reduced-size file) -- keep the original.
If you are concerned about file size, you could try reducing the number of decimal
places on your linetypes 2 through 5. 1 LDU is approx .4 millimeters. .1 LDU is
.004 mm -- less than the width of a human hair! So reducing your coordinates to 2 or
even 1 decimal place is unlikely to lead to perceivable loss of quality.
However, I would not reduce the decimal places in linetype 1 -- that *will* lead to
loss in quality.
