    My guess is that you got large filled polygons with width=0..

    They will create enormous amount of data, as eagle will use its minimum

    "pen" width to fill them.

    Make sure your design is drawn to scale, and make sure the polygon wire

    widht is a reasonable size (I'd sayt max 0.2mm, but its really up to

    what your board manufacturer can handle of tools and details).

     

    Check if your gerber file size is within a reasonable size. If its huge,

    you most likely have more polygons with too small width.

     

    You can use the statistic-brd.ulp to get an overview of your board.

    Check the polygon tab.

     

    And dont forget to run DRC.

    That suggests  that you have an outlying object.

    The result of that is your gerber will be the size of area the board

    design is covering. Probably huge.

     

    If so you need to find the objects outside your board are and delete them

    Additional to Warren I might suggest that if you don't find your outside

    object you should transfer your project into a new project.

    That sounds silly but sometimes some "Ghost Objects" arise.

    I have never been able to identify these "objects" nor delete them image

    The only way was the transfer into a new project.

    Hope that helps.
