Reducing Export Size
Reducing Export Size
(OP)
I'm trying to export an assembly as step203 or step214 and I end up getting a huge file. Is there a way to reduce the size of the exported model? The size should be about a quarter of what it is. Is there some useless data that is getting exported that I can choose not to export? Any help would be appreciated. I don't have licenses to "Simplify Assembly" or "Wrap Assembly"

RE: Reducing Export Size
If you only need external data for placement in a higher level assembly, there are lots of tricks you can do.
1) Hide or remove hardware items that are not visible to the assembly exterior.
2) Hide or remove internal components.
3) Create an envelope part of the exterior.
4) Use refernce sets to turn parts off.
5) Use exploded assemblies Hide-In-View command to hide things.

Based on what?
What export options are you currently using?

Exporting as STEP203, these are the options I chose in the command window, most of it is default:
Files tab:
Export from: displayed part
Data to export tab:
Entire part, solids
Advanced tab:
Long name
Colors and layers
B-spline tolerance 0.01
