Question
native file size
Hello again,
I have a model of an engine that I am using in a design. The engine
assembly has been converted to a single part file with a few external copy
geoms... That part file is clocking ~700 Mb in the folder. This same issue
exists for the compressor assembly in my design... So just those two
components are well over a gig of space. These components are never going to
change in the scope of my project. This file size issue creates a challenge
for me in sharing the design with others.
I converted the prt to a neu and then a stp... the neu was 46 MB and the
stp is ~10 Mb - both would be acceptable. But importing either of them into
a prt and saving blows the size back up to ~700 Mb.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to trim down a native part file
size when I don't need any of the parametric info? I do need some of the
faces for assembly references, etc, so the geometry needs to be retained -
can a shrinkwrap accurately retain the actual geometry?
Are there other ways to do this?
Thanks...
-Nate
