Reducing part file size - possible? 3

[steinmini]

I'm working on a custom design for a friend for a dirt-bike disc brake rotor. I did the basics, circles, extrude and after that extruded cuts for holes, some round, some odd shaped, inserted some text, ext.cut, circular pattern on most of the items and ended up with a 13Meg file. I'm saving for a new PC and handling such a big part file for this two year old is a really hard task. I thought that with many surfaces I got, there might be a way to reduce the size of the file without losing the important and valuable data. That exists for music and image files, so I thought there might be a trick I could use if available. The part alone is not a problem, but where will it end if the disc which is one of the 300+ components in a bike alone takes up 13Megs... Will I end up with a 10G assembly file for the whole bike ?

That ZIP file worked. I don't usually have problems with RAR files, but did this time.

The single biggest problem was that pattern #10 was making 6 patterns of pattern #6.

I can only confirm this and go to the nearest corner and be ashamed. Very ashamed... 2.79Mb now.
So, one more vote for naming features immediately.
