For years, I've been trying to get feedback from support that the files are growing in size. This simple sheet metal part is 16Mb. Working with design with hundreds of designs like this makes space claim becomes so slow that we will soon no longer be able to continue working with it.

When you open/unzip the scdoc-file, you will see that the versions.xml completely flipped out.... 

The only feedback we got so far is that we should export to stp and then import it again. But then we lose drawing information, etc. We have 10000's of designs... The situation is a nightmare. 

We have tested the "space claim document cleaner tool"....but this is not a way forward...UI of this app is a nightmare...

if you add a button "purge/clean" inside space claim...that does the same job as document cleaner...it would really help us.

Hello Fredrik Solenberg

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the only option would be what has been already suggested to you. 

We will share your idea/input with the product development team.

Subashni And that is document cleaner?....

Hello Fredrik Solenberg

I'm not sure I know what the SpaceClaim document cleaner tool is. 

To reduce file size, you may need to internalize all components (if any were externalised) and then save in another neutral format like .stp and import back again. 

Let me check with my team if there is any alternative which you can apply to large number of files. 

Also, can you please specify which version of SpaceClaim were these files created in and the version that you are currently using?

Hello Fredrik Solenberg

I guess you were talking about the document cleaner tool in SpaceClaim Engineer. 
Please check my colleague's response to your other query.
