Open a model in Creo

Run ModelCHECK in interactive mode (File > Prepare > ModelCHECK Interactive)

Expand Information section in ModelCHECK report

There is FILE_SIZE parameter with the file size.

But in bytes, not Mb

If the model exist only in-session i.e. the model not saved yet

the FILE_SIZE will be with 'error' value

 

In Windchill

open a model page

open the 'Content' tab

see File Size in kb in the 'Primary Content' section

The only way I know of to tell the file size of a part/assembly is to write it to disk and see. I don't see any means of obtaining this information from a part that is currently in session. Maybe this kind of info isn't offered because it's somewhat unknown until the file is written. Creo files are compressed when written to disk, I believe.

Within Windchill PDMLink, If you view the details of a part, you can look at the "content" tab or the "history" tab, it will tell you the file size.
