Lawrence,

Saving with all components will probably make the file larger than the assembly file because it will include all the parts as solid bodies in one file. Run a comparison of the combined size of the assembly file and all the components and then compare it to your Save As Part file.

I tried this to make the file smaller but it got bigger??
I then tried to convert the part to an IGS and then reimport but still bigger.
help if you can any other suggestions for making a smaller file
